Azamat Murzakanov is UFC's most successful undersized light heavyweight at 6-0

Azamat Murzakanov holds the best UFC light heavyweight record among fighters under 179 cm tall, standing at 178 cm with a perfect 6-0 record. This surpasses Frank Shamrock's 5-0 mark and Ilir Latifi's 7-5 record among fighters of similar height. If Murzakanov fights for the title, he would be the first sub-180 cm challenger in 27 years at 205 pounds. The post notes that previous champions Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans both stood at 180 cm. Murzakanov faces Paulo Costa this Saturday at UFC 327.
