Azamat Murzakanov holds a perfect 6-0 record in the UFC light heavyweight division, making him the most successful fighter under 179 cm tall in the weight class. At 178 cm, he surpasses Frank Shamrock's 5-0 record at the same height. If Murzakanov fights for the title, he would be the first fighter under 180 cm to challenge for the light heavyweight belt in 27 years. The post notes that former champions Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans were both 180 cm. Murzakanov is scheduled to fight Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday in Miami.
