Azamat Murzakanov holds best record among UFC light heavyweights under 179 cm tall

Azamat Murzakanov currently holds a 6-0 record in the UFC light heavyweight division, making him the most successful fighter under 179 cm tall in the division's history. The post notes that he is 178 cm tall and shares the shortest height tier with fighters like Frank Shamrock (5-0) and Ilir Latifi (7-5), but has the best record among all competitors in this height range. If Murzakanov fights for the title, he would be the first challenger under 180 cm in 27 years to compete for the light heavyweight belt. He is scheduled to face Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday in Miami.
