Azamat Murzakanov Most Successful Short Light Heavyweight in UFC History

Azamat Murzakanov, standing at 178 cm tall, holds the best record among light heavyweights 179 cm or shorter in UFC history with a perfect 6-0 mark. The post provides a comprehensive list of the shortest light heavyweights in UFC history, with Terry Martin and Alexandre Ferreira being the shortest at 170 cm. Frank Shamrock previously held the best short light heavyweight record at 5-0 and also stood 178 cm. If Murzakanov reaches a title fight, he would be the first challenger under 180 cm to compete for the light heavyweight belt in 27 years, with only Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans at exactly 180 cm having done so previously. Murzakanov faces Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday.
