6'7 Travis Browne, 6'7 Alex Volkov and the UFC height fallacy

[wearetheromans]

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

Browne is not 6'7. Volkov might be one of the only guys in the UFC who is billed his actual height (Jon Jones is another). He absolutely dwarfed Overeem today. What's funny is Overeem at one stage was billed as 6'5, when he's 6'3 at best.

Struve is also no 7 footer. He's slouching and leaning a bit here but on a good day is probably 6'10 and a half.

This is struve with a guy who's 7'2. Clearly more than 2 inches here.

I'm always amazed that humans like this exist.

But can any of these big guys look good in a suit?

indeed

you obviously don't understand simple science. Sometimes guys have to cut height to make weight, so their size fluctuates from time to time.

This is sherdog. No one cares about these dwarfs

Struve has always been listed at 6'11"? And from that pic he is about that? At least in shoes.

For some reason a few years ago they changed it from 6'11 to 7'0. Despite the fact that humans don't grow when they're an adult unless they have a pituitary disorder, which Stefan does not.

I blame the imperial system, it's so unprecise.

Shane Carwin is 6'20 Let's see them square up

 

[davisxp]

Apparently Rozenstruik is 6'4, and Andrei is 6'3

I look forward to the day when the average MMA fighter grows to the height of the average Sherdogger.
