Azamat Murzakanov most successful UFC light heavyweight 179cm or shorter at 6-0

Azamat Murzakanov, standing 178cm tall, holds the best UFC light heavyweight record among fighters 179cm or shorter 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 170cm. Frank Shamrock previously held a 5-0 record at 178cm, while other notable shorter fighters like Ilir Latifi (7-5 at 178cm) had mixed results. If Murzakanov fights for a title, he would be the first challenger under 180cm to compete for the light heavyweight belt in 27 years. He faces Paulo Costa at UFC 327 this Saturday.
