It depends when the measurements were taken. If he was in the middle of a brutal height cut, then obviously he’s going to be a little shorter.
I didn't realize how many people lied about their height until I wrestled in college and saw the rosters listed height. People 2-3 inches shorter than my 5'6 self saying they are 5'11. People are ridiculous. Probably spent too much time on sherdog and got in their own heads.

Just like DC. He was the same height as Jeff Monson (5'8) when they faced off

this happens in every sport. remember when they said Vince Wilfork was 320lbs? he looks at least 350lbs.

UFC heights have always been quite a joke.
Just to be more professional, each fighter should get properly measured, once and for all, at the UFC PI or the UFC Apex (whenever they are next in Vegas) by ONE person using ONE simple machine (it's a horizontal strut that moves up and, ain't rocket science) and that's the fighter's OFFICIAL height and to hell with all these fake heights that the UFC randomly use and randomly change. It doesn't ultimately matter *that* much but it's just a bit of a joke as some are demonstrably 2 or 3 inches off.

Same when I played hockey. Everyone was concerned with the website and adding a ton of height and weight to themselves. I was 6’1, 205ish but I said I was 6’3, 235 to sound jacked.
In midget, a kid said he was 6’6 and 240 and somehow it stuck and wound up on the league website

Not just height. The reach stats have been way off in the past too.
I remember initially Gustafsson's reach was ridiculously wrong and listed at something like 70 inches, and idiots spent years claiming that he had "T-Rex arms" despite the fact that they're clearly proportional to his body.

Romero is listed as 6’0 but is the same height as Conor in a picture where they were standing side by side. Also Eddie Alvarez is far from 5’9. Why can’t they just get properly measured. It would also be nice to know the leg reach, that is arguably more important than arm reach.
