I did not know this. Someone mentioned it so I got to gooling the reach/wingspan of NBA players. Holy crap. And what I mean by reach= wingspan. Jon Jones doesn't really have 42inch long arms.

Dwight Howard, 6ft" 10 inches tall, 265lbs with 89 inch reach
Bismack Biyombo, 6ft", 8 inches tall, 255lbs, with 90 inch reach

most of these guys are more athletic than Jon Jones, more explosive, can dunk a basketball, and have similar height and equivalent or longer reach.
Does MMA lack top LHW or HW talent? It seems like all the true freak athlete big guys are very rare while at the lower weight classes we got super athletic guys like GSP and all the back flips and stuff he could do. Meanwhile HW, is filled with the likes of Derick Lewis, Cain, Werdum, etc..
Rob Gronkowski is 6'6ft, with 89.5 inch reach, and weighs 265lbs and is explosive as heck.
