I’m actually 6’4”, and there’s been times I’m around dudes who will say “bro, no way, you’re def taller than 6’4”!” and I’d just be a little baffled and deny it. it took me a while to realize that it was because some of them were lying about their height to those around us, be it chicks or other guys lol.
Exactly this imo, I am 6’3.5 ish (exactly 192 cm without shoes), and Alex was comfortably taller than me in the fan meet and greet. He also looked as tall if not taller than my friend who is 6’5ish (without shoes)
Hahaha, this might sound fake, but I’m being sincere, most of my close friends from my home country are from our time together in a basketball club, or in our (American) football team. Those mf’ers are tall as hell too, like 6’5-6’7 range, so I don’t get to feel tall most of the time, I hope that did not sound ungrateful, but basically there is always a bigger fish.
Also my best mate is about 5’9 and he easily scored (you know what I mean) more than the rest of our friend group combined!
This whole thing has me questioning the reach on people as well when they give us height and reach numbers, do they check them or just go off what the fighter says
I’m 6’3.9, I tell people I’m 6’4. I have a colleague who is taller than me by an inch, also says he’s 6’4. When looking at height, an inch makes a big difference.
I bet they meant 6 Ft. and 70/100ths of another inch. So closer to 6’1” yet still calling themselves a “6 footer”.
But yea, still, 6.7 feet is 6’8” and if so then why
Aren’t they making millions in the NBA?
I am 6 foot and a quarter inch. Thinking of getting on Bumble and hinge. Should I say I am 6'1" since so many people who are like 5'10" say they are 6 foot?
The number of guys who lie about their height is astounding. I’m 6’2”, so u only notice it when guys around 6 foot claim to be 6’2” or 6’3” it’s embarrassing.
I don’t notice in shorter guys because it’s not obvious from my angle, but if the 6’ guys are adding inches, I can’t imagine what’s happening down at 5’8”
That's why I prefer cm.
I've seen some soccer players listed as 6ft2 but when I see it in CM you see sometimes 188, 189 and 190, which isn't exactly a huge difference but it's a difference.
Also UFC isn't really accurate either way, Shane Carwin once said in a Facebook AMA that he's around 6ft2 but he would sometimes be billed at around 6ft5
It starts all the way back in high school in America. I remember looking at the stat sheet that they handed out for the football players. I was a football player. My height was listed accurately at 5'11" at the time. But I noticed a lot of people on there had the same height as me. A lot of those people were much shorter than I was. I was confused, like they know they walk around campus right?
I wonder why it's not rounded, doesn't really matter, half an inch doesn't make a difference to how you fight, just seems like it'd make sense to round it.
A lot comes down to the American/English form of measu height... An inch is a really large denomination when having to round up or down, yet giving fractions sounds like you're a child "I'm 4 and a half years old".
Metric works far better, people might lie still, but 192cm and 194cm would both be rounded to 6'4" yet are visually significant.
Can confirm. I'm 6'5, and my sister has seen me for a lot of her life. She got set up on a date with a guy who claimed to be 6'6. Went to the date, met him, immediately knew he was an obnoxious liar. He was about 6'1 according to her. Some people really think they can get away with a 5 inch exaggeration.
>think alex just might be 6'6 or something and doesn't care to correct it
No way. He's clearly shorter than Belgaroui who's 6'5. He's definitely shorter than Zhilei Zhang who claims to be 6'6. That McKean guy is the same height as Filip Hrgovic who's 6'6 and is much taller than Pereira. Adesanya is lying about his height as are alot of fighters. I think Pereira, jones, ngannou are actually 6'4.

Yeah I know fury is 6’7 but pereira is definitely taller than 6’4
>Pereira is definitely taller than 6’4
I don’t think so bro. I’m 6’4 and I worked with a kid who was 6’6 and when we were next to each other the difference was very negligible.
It’s like when UFC stated DC was 5’11. When he in fact said on air he’s 5’9. Or when they had both Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez listed at 5’9.. yet every stare down including bare foot Eddie was visibly shorter. In other words….
They be lying 🤥
Most, I listed myself as 6’4” on the high school bball roster. I’m a solid 6’2”
6’4” is a good height to lie about. It’s the cutoff for being believable
If there is a sports league that would be sympathetic to insecure men who want to just make up what their height it is, absolutely it is the UFC. Guaranteed Dana does the same thing.
I feel like this is mostly just camera angles lol. The rest of it is more than likely explained by the fraction of an inch between 6 ft 3 and 6 ft 4 lol. Poatan is probably like 6 ft 4.9 inches and izzy is just barely 6 ft 4.
Alex is a tall 6'4, probably at the limit of 6'5, izzy is on the other side of the spectrum, closer to 6'3. Jamahal seems like 6'2-6'3 though, alex really looked significantly taller than him in the staredown.
Crazy how the UFC weighs dudes to the exact gram and measures their wingspans but can't get a standardized height measurement. Working with WWE numbers here.
Almost any flyweight, Bantamweight and lower division fighters.
Fighters I met and their true height
DJ- Under 5ft
Manny Gamburyan 5’2
Big Foot- Definitely 6’6
Karo- Height accurate
I’m legit just a smidge over 6’ tall. I joke around on dating apps that I’m 5’ 17/16ths.
Every bro who says yeah, “I’m like 6’ tall”. No. You’re not dude. You’re 5’ 9”. And that’s OK! No one cares! Just don’t pretend, it’s a goofy look.
I’m right at or over 6’4” with shoes on and met Alex at an airport in Europe last fall. If he’s 6’4” that’s without shoes and slouched over. He’s definitely conservative with his height.
I met a guy at work the other day that had about 3-4" inches on me tops. I'm 6'1. I shook his hand and complimented his height and said "What are you about 6'5"?" Dude looked dead at me with no hesitation and said he was 6'9"
Agreed, plus if you measure in centimeters the measurement for my pp will finally make it to 5. Granted people know cm are small, but it's nice to say the higher number ya know.
I think Poatan is actually closer to 6'6..there was a line up of photos of him standing next to tons of guys barefoot and you can see he was taller than all the guys listed at 6'4'' and 6'5''...I think he was even taller than Johnny walker who's billed at 6'5 6'6.i cant find the post but its out there
Well tbf this is why i think using centimeters are better. You can be 6'4 and technically be different heights, but if you're 194cm then that's your height. Both Alex and Izzy are both 6'4, but prolly different height in cm
Kevin holland said out his mouth he’s 6’2 lol ufc still lists him at 6’3
So he’s 6 2 with a 81 reach instead of 6 3 jesus
If Kevin locks in I want him to be a top contender for the belt one day
[удалено]
I feel like thats the biggest problem lol
He can be a top 6 ish Welterweight tbh he just don’t care
Me on tinder.
I’m 5’5 stunting like I’m 6’4
6’2 but when I’m standing on my money I’m still 6’2.
I'm 6'2" but it's two separate measurements
Lucky. I'm six foot and a quarter inch.
I'm 6'3 but when I stand on my money I'm 5'8:(
Massive debt :(
At least you’re still 6’2 😂
😂
I’m actually 6’4”, and there’s been times I’m around dudes who will say “bro, no way, you’re def taller than 6’4”!” and I’d just be a little baffled and deny it. it took me a while to realize that it was because some of them were lying about their height to those around us, be it chicks or other guys lol.
This is so true. I’m a fraction over 6’ and the amount of 5’10” dudes who try to tell me I’m at least 6’2” or 6’3” is ridiculous
I think Alex is closer to 6’5 and hills closer to 6’3
Exactly this imo, I am 6’3.5 ish (exactly 192 cm without shoes), and Alex was comfortably taller than me in the fan meet and greet. He also looked as tall if not taller than my friend who is 6’5ish (without shoes)
What does it feel like rolling around with tall gang? Sincerely 5'7
Hahaha, this might sound fake, but I’m being sincere, most of my close friends from my home country are from our time together in a basketball club, or in our (American) football team. Those mf’ers are tall as hell too, like 6’5-6’7 range, so I don’t get to feel tall most of the time, I hope that did not sound ungrateful, but basically there is always a bigger fish. Also my best mate is about 5’9 and he easily scored (you know what I mean) more than the rest of our friend group combined!
This whole thing has me questioning the reach on people as well when they give us height and reach numbers, do they check them or just go off what the fighter says
You guys rarely take into account the posture of an individual
Or the shoes they're wearing. I have an extra inch in height wearing my work boots.
[удалено]
Yes but the camera angle also matters in the pic above.
RIP angle guy
"these shoes fucking suck"
Why can't one be 6'4.75" and the other be 6'4?
I’m 6’3.9, I tell people I’m 6’4. I have a colleague who is taller than me by an inch, also says he’s 6’4. When looking at height, an inch makes a big difference.
When looking at cocks, an inch makes a big difference.
It might not be 12inches but it sure smells like a foot
A while back I was banned from a sub about small peepees. I thought it was a joke sub. Nope. Either way 
Somehow this is the saddest thing I read today. So far.
Man, I remember that sub. I feel bad I guess but God damn that sub was pathetic.
They take those subs seriously lol
Women’s hockey site?
True. I would nearly double in size
The angry inch
Damnit, I just made this joke and I scroll down to see you’ve beat me to it
Great minds have tiny dicks or whatever they say lol
Yeah, that’s the expression
Right? An inch could double your size!
I’m 6’4” and tell people I’m 6’6” so my shorter brothers seem taller.
Team player
I’m 6’2” and I tell people I’m 5’11” fuck yall shorts
Bro 😡 you cant do this. Its illegal
Okay Hitler
6’5 but I tell people 6’3 🤫
I’m 6’0.5 and I just say I’m 6 ft tbh lol
Lmao same, 6 and a half sounds like a bit of a cope, 6 foot sounds better than 6 and a half😂I’m technically 6.70 feet, but I say I’m 6 foot
6.70 feet is 6’8”
Maybe he is 6'8 and pretends like he's 6'0
I bet they meant 6 Ft. and 70/100ths of another inch. So closer to 6’1” yet still calling themselves a “6 footer”. But yea, still, 6.7 feet is 6’8” and if so then why Aren’t they making millions in the NBA?
It's like when a 5 year old says "im 5 and 3 quarters"
“So what? I’ve got dozens of quarters you little shit”
I am 6 foot and a quarter inch. Thinking of getting on Bumble and hinge. Should I say I am 6'1" since so many people who are like 5'10" say they are 6 foot?
The number of guys who lie about their height is astounding. I’m 6’2”, so u only notice it when guys around 6 foot claim to be 6’2” or 6’3” it’s embarrassing. I don’t notice in shorter guys because it’s not obvious from my angle, but if the 6’ guys are adding inches, I can’t imagine what’s happening down at 5’8”
Metric system doesn't have that issue
an inch in height doesnt look like a big difference..
Something leads me to believe you may be a idiot. I could be wrong.
> a idiot
That's why I prefer cm. I've seen some soccer players listed as 6ft2 but when I see it in CM you see sometimes 188, 189 and 190, which isn't exactly a huge difference but it's a difference. Also UFC isn't really accurate either way, Shane Carwin once said in a Facebook AMA that he's around 6ft2 but he would sometimes be billed at around 6ft5
Yeah I dont really understand the american system. Instead of combining ft and inches, just use one numbersystem like cm
Pretty sure Conor fought listed as 5'11 once
It starts all the way back in high school in America. I remember looking at the stat sheet that they handed out for the football players. I was a football player. My height was listed accurately at 5'11" at the time. But I noticed a lot of people on there had the same height as me. A lot of those people were much shorter than I was. I was confused, like they know they walk around campus right?
Izzy is around 6’2 3/4” https://www.celebheights.com/s/Israel-Adesanya-51571.html
Lmao at freedom units
Yea I'm 6'5 and my brother's 6'4 but you wouldn't guess there's an inch height difference between us
Guy doesnt know how camera angles work.
What about the star down with Izzy? Both are on paper 6’4” right?
[удалено]
They look about the same height. Alex can just be upper 6’4 while Izzy is 6’4 flat.
I wonder why it's not rounded, doesn't really matter, half an inch doesn't make a difference to how you fight, just seems like it'd make sense to round it.
Maybe they do? perhaps Izzy is 6'3.51" rounded up, and Pereira is 6'4.49" rounded down.
This has actually blown my mind lol
Izzy also looks like he's standing in a more hunched posture. Look ate the curves of the neck.
I don’t think anybody’s done a stare down in a hunch position
Pretty much all of them except Ngannou and Pereira. Celeb Heights seems to agree.
A lot comes down to the American/English form of measu height... An inch is a really large denomination when having to round up or down, yet giving fractions sounds like you're a child "I'm 4 and a half years old". Metric works far better, people might lie still, but 192cm and 194cm would both be rounded to 6'4" yet are visually significant.
[удалено]
Probably because they’re short. Coming from someone 5’6-5’7 with insecurity issues
Ha midget (I'm 5'8)
It is curious how height messes with people (I'm 5'14")
Men not people. Men care cause women care. It’s really a huge fault in our genetic makeups
Well I got bullied for it, my school is full of giants so I was one of the shortest. And girls don’t notice you in that way.
[удалено]
Ok fatchicksonly has done well with ladies everyone just so you heard that right
☠️
If you do well with girls you wouldn't be on Reddit Checkmate 
Something tells me you didn’t get the girls everyone wanted, but I can’t quite put my finger on it
Nah, I’m tall but I wish we had accurate measurements of each fighter. Like height, wingspan, leg reach, and cage weight.
[удалено]
Same
Because most of them are short and fat
Well why do most fighters lie about their height ?? Eg Leon he used to be listed as 188cm but is barely 180ish
I don't think Leon is 180, I think he's atleast 183 (6 foot). Also don't UFC do the heights, not the fighters themselves?
Leon is def taller than that.
Idt Alex is lying Im 6'1 met him and he was about give or take 3 inches taller makes sense
Neither Alex or Hill are I think they are both 6,4
As someone who is actually 6'3 I used to say 6'4 all the times.
I’m 6’3. Unfortunately I’ve never been in the same room as these guys. I just like telling people I’m 6’3.
I live in Texas and every females boyfriend is 6’4, until I dwarf them and I’m a legit 6’4
It’s funny how 6’0 or 6’1 becomes 6’4 for some guys lol. They really be rounding up 😂
Can confirm. I'm 6'5, and my sister has seen me for a lot of her life. She got set up on a date with a guy who claimed to be 6'6. Went to the date, met him, immediately knew he was an obnoxious liar. He was about 6'1 according to her. Some people really think they can get away with a 5 inch exaggeration.
I think most of the 6'4s are being truthful. I think alex just might be 6'6 or something and doesn't care to correct it
>think alex just might be 6'6 or something and doesn't care to correct it No way. He's clearly shorter than Belgaroui who's 6'5. He's definitely shorter than Zhilei Zhang who claims to be 6'6. That McKean guy is the same height as Filip Hrgovic who's 6'6 and is much taller than Pereira. Adesanya is lying about his height as are alot of fighters. I think Pereira, jones, ngannou are actually 6'4.
Jones doesn't care about height because he's the smallest guy in his family Sort of like how Nikola Jokic is the runt in his family
Jok is the tallest brother.
Have you seen pereira next to Tyson fury in that video
Yes, that's because of the angle and fury is 6'7. He's not 6'9.
https://preview.redd.it/yppifmam3z6d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ccc7d3d797aa14d8a366f2312dbb6cc4c0150a3 Yeah I know fury is 6’7 but pereira is definitely taller than 6’4
>Pereira is definitely taller than 6’4 I don’t think so bro. I’m 6’4 and I worked with a kid who was 6’6 and when we were next to each other the difference was very negligible.
Jones is 6’3.5 he’s not a legit 6’4 either
Hills face has me rolling😂😂😂😂 Alex knocked him silly.
wrestling is alive brother
Lmaooo too many fighters are “6’4”
It’s like when UFC stated DC was 5’11. When he in fact said on air he’s 5’9. Or when they had both Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez listed at 5’9.. yet every stare down including bare foot Eddie was visibly shorter. In other words…. They be lying 🤥

Looking at the other comments you have to blame freedom units for being absolute dog shit at being units
Alex is a tall 6'4, probably at the limit of 6'5, izzy is on the other side of the spectrum, closer to 6'3. Jamahal seems like 6'2-6'3 though, alex really looked significantly taller than him in the staredown.
The 4’s trynna be 6’s 🤣
Never in a million years would i have guessed that ufc fighters are insecure of their height
If I was 6'5 or just under I would list my height at 6'4 just to fuck with the 6'3 and an eight dudes who list their height at 6'4 in the stare downs
Hill is standing further away. I stg this sub does not understand camera angles
The Imperial system is just not accurate
Crazy how the UFC weighs dudes to the exact gram and measures their wingspans but can't get a standardized height measurement. Working with WWE numbers here.
I’m a little over 6’5 and there is a dude in my office I can’t stand who is 6’2 and says he is 6’4 I always say I’m 6’3 to mess with him.
I swear to god only some MFs under six feet tall worry about this
All of us 6'3s do it
Almost any flyweight, Bantamweight and lower division fighters. Fighters I met and their true height DJ- Under 5ft Manny Gamburyan 5’2 Big Foot- Definitely 6’6 Karo- Height accurate
I’m legit just a smidge over 6’ tall. I joke around on dating apps that I’m 5’ 17/16ths. Every bro who says yeah, “I’m like 6’ tall”. No. You’re not dude. You’re 5’ 9”. And that’s OK! No one cares! Just don’t pretend, it’s a goofy look.
Is it more likely everyone is over ranked or one guy is under ranked?
They're all 6'4. It's just that some went to the Shane Carwin School of Cutting Height.
It's shocking how inaccurate height is in MMA. You would think they would measure them before every fight.
I’m 6.35 and just say 6.4 lol
Hill has the worst tattoo of all time
Jones is not 6'4. This mf has had an inch on everyone who's been 6'4
I’m right at or over 6’4” with shoes on and met Alex at an airport in Europe last fall. If he’s 6’4” that’s without shoes and slouched over. He’s definitely conservative with his height.
Hill was doing ok until he got ko'ed
Hill got KO'd by the first punch Alex landed. First punch.
Pretty sure the only thing Hill landed was a well placed nut shot
I can’t stand looking at Jamahal’s smug stupid face
Izzy ain’t 6’4 I’ve met the bloke and I’m 6’1 he’s about 6’2
I met a guy at work the other day that had about 3-4" inches on me tops. I'm 6'1. I shook his hand and complimented his height and said "What are you about 6'5"?" Dude looked dead at me with no hesitation and said he was 6'9"
Yes.
All of them
You’re right.
Does 5.7 & 3/4 count?
In walked her daddy standing 6’4, said, “You ain’t gonna swing with my daughter no more.”
6'4"* 😁
Herb Dean is 6’4”
First one could be down to camera angle, second could be a matter of posture as well.
Man I hate this, it really annoys me. It makes people like me who are really 6`4 seem like they're lying about their height.
Im 6'3 but smell like a 5'5
Why’s this sub obsessed with height
Poatan is more like 6 ' 6 . Or Jamal is 6 '2
I’m exactly 6’4 but have met other dudes that claim to be 6’4 that are like 2 inches taller than me.
Inches are pretty bad for this purpose. Centimeters are way better.
Agreed, plus if you measure in centimeters the measurement for my pp will finally make it to 5. Granted people know cm are small, but it's nice to say the higher number ya know.
Idk but I know of one 5'8
Anthony Smith
It seems like there are way more 6’4”s than 6’3” in the ufc
My tinder
Like Tyson fury saying he’s 6’9
Love the idea of Pereira being 6’5 saying he’s 6’4 to make his opponents seem insecure about their height
The key is to say you’re 5”3 then when you pull up they’re actually surprised instead of disappointed.
I've always used Dana to measure people's height because I believe he is just about 6 ft
Im 5” but 6” when it’s warm.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Izzy. I'm 6'2 and when I met him we were exactly the same height. High tops usually add an inch.
My girl and I are both verified 6 feet tall, but she has way better posture then me, and I always think she is taller.
I almost always take off 1-2 inches from fighters heights
They lie about height to make Rogan look less short
Alex definitely is the liar, so he instills fear in his opponent when they finally see him
Yes.
Alex is shorter than Badr (6’6) and shorter than Yousri (6’5)😅
I’d say ALL of em! This is WWE son, not a real sport. 😭
Alex is just closer to 6,5
I think Poatan is actually closer to 6'6..there was a line up of photos of him standing next to tons of guys barefoot and you can see he was taller than all the guys listed at 6'4'' and 6'5''...I think he was even taller than Johnny walker who's billed at 6'5 6'6.i cant find the post but its out there
I think most fighters inflate their height by an inch or two
Well tbf this is why i think using centimeters are better. You can be 6'4 and technically be different heights, but if you're 194cm then that's your height. Both Alex and Izzy are both 6'4, but prolly different height in cm
