Insider info
Azamat Murzakanov favored over Paulo Costa lean UFC 327 · April 5, 2026
Picked to win by knockout if the fight becomes a striking match, which the analyst expects it to.
Undefeated. Solid striker, with the analyst's biggest single praise being how well he picks his shots. Notably undersized for the weight class in terms of pure height and frame, always looking smaller next to these opponents, but has real, genuine power -- can put anyone's lights out -- and is fast, with very fast hands, good step-in knees, and good striking defense. Likely to have more overall success landing his own offense standing, even if the opponent has more raw tools available. Good grappler too -- good takedowns mixed in with his striking well, and good ground and pound.
