How much does a fighters height factor when it comes to the weight he ultimately fights at, i find that each divisions top 5 generally have a height range of around 4-5 inches. Unfortunately sherdog and the UFC are quite inconsistent with their official height for fighters at least where McGregor and Alvarez are concerned with sherdog listing McGregor at 5'8 and Eddie at 5'10 respectively, and the UFC placing both fighters at 5'9, i clearly recall thinking how much bigger Mcgregor looked compared to Alvarez especially in height when they fought....
 
Height and weight are not all

Body type, body fat, muscle distribution play an huge role

Also many division-big fighters need a particular built to stay in the limits

See Conor's torso, Jones legs or Bigfoot muscle mass to do some examples

A fighter that is 2 inches taller will not necessarily weigh more, but height definitely adds weight.

Conor is definitely 1 or 2 inches taller than Eddie.
 
I knew this shit was going to come in handy someday:

Length x Width x Height = Volume

Therefore:

Height = Volume / (Length x Width)
 
How much wood does a woodchuck fook?

And yeah TS I agree with you on the overinflated heights they put on the fighters profiles. I've stood next to some fighters who were listed at 6' and we were the same height as me. I'm a 5'8" midget for fooks sake.

But mass = Force / acceleration.

So...
 
take height and weight
divide by eight
add a four
now ur sure
 
But mass = Force / acceleration.

So...
I respectfully disagree with your hypothesis.
