Just dont bother on planning and researching too much until you get punched in the face a couple of times...
Read those questions in the voice of Samuel L. Jackson.What kind of martial arts do you do? Can you take shots? Do you have cardio? Do you excel at any particular discipline? Can you be coached?
Get a mouthy Irish friend with corny tatoos and too much swag and you'll be a UFC fighter in no time, reach or no reach!I'm 21 and have always wanted to try MMA. So I've heard reach is important and my reach as far as I'm concerned is really small. I live in Sweden and is your average joe here. I am about 184cm tall and my reach is like 184cm too (hard to measure by yourself), is it too small to have any chance against taller opponents?
I am currently ripped at about 78kg, but my natural weight is like 83kg if I'm not strict with food. I think I have a decent frame, wrist size is about 19 cm at this ripped state, and a little higher at 83kg, like 19.5cm. Maybe I am just finding doubts for no reason?
Looks like Damon Wayans here.

You can do whatever you want. Genetics will not hold you back. Unless you're Indian. There's always medical school.
If Artem can find success, anyone can!I'm 21 and have always wanted to try MMA. So I've heard reach is important and my reach as far as I'm concerned is really small.

Garbage.
I have done 2 training sessions now.For reference, when I do scouting I don't often pay that much attention to height or reach, unless they are an extreme. From your pics, you will be fine, but as someone said above, focus on cardio, you need functional muscle not show muscle. If your cardio is on point to go 25 minutes in the cage, then you have an advantage over 80% of fighters out there already.
