Azamat Murzakanov, standing at 178cm tall, has achieved a perfect 6-0 record in the UFC light heavyweight division, making him the most successful fighter under 179cm in the division's history. The post provides a comprehensive list of the shortest light heavyweights in UFC history, with Terry Martin and Alexandre Ferreira being the shortest at 170cm. Frank Shamrock previously held the best record at 5-0 while standing 178cm. If Murzakanov earns a title shot, he would be the first challenger under 180cm in 27 years to compete for the light heavyweight belt. Murzakanov is scheduled to face Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday.
