Azamat Murzakanov doesn't seem at all worried about Paulo Borrachinha 's provocations before UFC 327. Scheduled to face each other at the event, which marks the Brazilian's debut in the light heavyweight division (up to 93 kg), the Russian made it clear that he doesn't closely follow what his rival says or does outside the octagon and reinforced that his only expectation is to see him fulfill his commitment and consequently knock him out.

In an exclusive statement to SUPER LUTAS, Azamat Murzakanov stated that he doesn't usually pay attention to his opponents' attitudes and emphasized that, for Borrachinha, the most important thing is to show up for the fight, even if it means ending up defeated by knockout.

Azamat Murzakanov 's concern about Paulo Borrachinha 's appearance at UFC 327 stems from the Brazilian's recent history with the organization. Since being signed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the athlete has accumulated several canceled commitments, raising doubts about his presence in the octagon.

In total, Borrachinha has had nine fights canceled in the UFC. The most recent was against Bruno Hulk, a duel that was scheduled for UFC 326. For comparison, the Brazilian has only 11 official appearances for the world's largest MMA organization.
