Murzakanov holds best UFC light heavyweight record for fighters under 180cm

Azamat Murzakanov has achieved the most successful record among UFC light heavyweights who are 179cm or shorter, standing at 6-0 in the division at 178cm tall. The post provides a comprehensive breakdown of the shortest light heavyweights in UFC history, noting that Frank Shamrock previously held a 5-0 record at the same height.

Murzakanov is scheduled to face Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday.
