Azamat Murzakanov is currently 6-0 in the UFC light heavyweight division, making him the winningest fighter under 179 cm tall in the division's history. At 178 cm, he shares his height with Frank Shamrock (5-0) but has surpassed that record. If Murzakanov reaches a title fight, he would be the first challenger under 180 cm to compete for the light heavyweight belt in 27 years. The post notes that previous title challengers Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans were both 180 cm tall. Murzakanov is scheduled to face Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday.
