Azamat Murzakanov holds the distinction of being the most successful light heavyweight in UFC history among fighters 179 cm or shorter in height. At 178 cm tall, Murzakanov has compiled a perfect 6-0 record in the UFC's light heavyweight division. The post notes that Frank Shamrock previously held a 5-0 record at the same height. If Murzakanov reaches a title fight, he would be the first challenger under 180 cm to compete for the belt in the 93 kg division in 27 years. Murzakanov is scheduled to face Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday.
