While he might not have the most fights under his belt, he’s still a force to be reckoned with. Currently, he is ranked #12 in the light heavyweight rankings.
Unfortunately Murzakanov was suspended after testing positive for LGD-4033 metabolites. Until May 1st, 2025, we won’t see Murzakanov in the cage. This also raises questions of whether or not he’ll be the same when he returns. He’ll be 36 years old at the time of his return. In the meantime, you can play as him now in UFC 5.
