Azamat Murzakanov holds a 6-0 record in the UFC light heavyweight division, making him the most successful fighter under 179cm in the weight class. At 178cm tall, he surpasses Frank Shamrock's 5-0 record among shorter light heavyweights. If Murzakanov fights for the title, he would be the first challenger under 180cm to compete for the 205-pound belt in 27 years, since fighters like Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans both stood at 180cm. Murzakanov faces Paulo Costa this Saturday at UFC 327. The post also lists other undersized light heavyweights and their UFC records, demonstrating Murzakanov's unique success at his height in the division.
