What percentage of fights have the shorter fighter beat the taller fighter?

[Clippy]

Seems to me like shorter fighters always have the advantage

Tall fighters are just targets for uppercuts

short fighters are closer to the Earth and have a better centre of gravity and a harder to knock over

I hope somebody has the answer cuz I feel like it's got to be at least eighty to ninety percent of the time the shorter guy wins

And this applies to all aspects of life

Don´t worry, Yan is going to kill Malley.

Spoiler

In a pararel universe where Malley somehow beat Chito

Try uppercutting Hong Man Choi, lets see how that goes, your arm will have to extend super high up, Hong Man Choi would see it a mile away. This is an extreme example but it shows that the uppercut is not the go to strike when fighting taller guys....Bro did you even think about the mechanic of a moving arm? An uppercut is not an easy shot to land on a taller guy.....an uppercut would be much better against a short dude since you arm won't have to travel super far high up, thus it's harder for them to block/move out of the way.

Look at Jones, and review your thread again.
Fig: big
Yan: not short, average
Volk: the only 'short' champ.
Beef: average
Usman: average~above average
AnimeGuy: Super tall
Jones: Super tall
Stipe: tall

Don't let that DC's fluky dirty eyepoke KO fool you...

You're really hung up on those eye pokes aren't you

Not like stripe didn't poke some eyes of his own

Eye pokes are unfortunate but tragically these accidents do happen

DC is one of the cleanest and most humblest fighters of the sport

It depends on the style

If you're explosive like Prime Fedor and wanna KO people it's an advantage

If you're fast like Prime Frankie and wanna win on the scorecards it's an advantage

If you're a high level wrestler like DC and wanna put the fight down it's an advantage

Looks like it's uppercut Friday.

I think it should be on the stats

Just like reach advantage

Height disadvantage

 

[Raffen]

Taller fighters usually win

Idk about height but statistically reach has an impact when a fighter has 4 or more inches of reach advantage

Has there ever been a short guy with like really long arms

I bet he'd be indestructible

Taller fighters win in 100% cases, manlets will desperately try to prove otherwise and i wont even reply to it

This checks out remember when Cowboy lost to Conors shoulder? no way he would have won if he was taller than Cowboy.

This post completely agrees with the op.

Manlets beat man mountains every day of the week

You sound insecure about prowess of the low centered

I think taller fighters are more ripe for overhands (the opposite of an uppercut), from shorter fighters.
