Paulo
\nCosta<\/a> isn\u2019t above kicking a man when he is down, albeit in good
\nhumor. <\/p>\n

Costa (16-4) took on Azamat
\nMurzakanov<\/a> (16-1) in a light heavyweight clash at UFC 327<\/a>
\nearlier this month. Costa was a sizable underdog going into the
\nfight against the previously undefeated Russian finisher. However,
\n\u201cBorrachinha\u201d showed why he is perennially a top contender as he
\nnever let Murzakanov get his game going. Costa pieced Murzakanov
\napart before finishing him with a head kick and a few follow-up
\nshots in the third round. <\/p>\n

Costa recently took a dig at Murzakanov over his comments in the
\nlead up to their fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cApril 11 Paulo Costa<\/a>
\nis dead,\u201d Murzakanov wrote on X ahead of UFC 327. \u201cI will get
\njustice for all of Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nothing But Crickets<\/h2>\n

However, there had been radio silence from Murzakanov on social
\nmedia since Costa handed him his first professional loss. Costa
\ncouldn\u2019t help taking a dig at Murzakanov\u2019s absence from social
\nmedia.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi bro, how are you? You’ve been so quiet lately,\u201d Costa wrote.
\n  \u201cHe was so active here, something must have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hi bro , how are u? You’ve been quiet
\nlately.
Oi Cara , como voc\u00ea est\u00e1? Voc\u00ea tem estado t\u00e3o quieto ultimamente.

Costa has only lost to elite opponents in the
\nUFC<\/a> and shown consistent development in his game over time.
\nComing off two upset wins, the Brazilian is now open to competing
\nat both middleweight and light heavyweight, as long as the matchup
\nis exciting.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
