Cerrone isnt 6'1

[0verlord]

They're both big lightweights. The UFC ain't lying about the reach, tho.

Tony looked taller at the weigh in. I know this for sure because im 6'1 and i know a 6'1 when i see it. View attachment 595223

Lol, I'm a professional Carpenter so I literal measure a 100 or more things a day 6 or 7 days a week and have for over 15 years and despite this I can assure you I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 72 inches and 73 inches looking at 2 boards 10' away from me let alone 2 people on a TV screen.

For these reasons I'm sure its pretty fucking safe to assume you or anyone else can't either and posts like this always make me laugh.

"No way he's 5'11" man, I can tell he's 5'10 1/2" at the most!!"
Lol, such bullshit.

Americans with their cute inches

Hey man, I'm a Canadian Carpenter and imperial is way better then metric, that's all we use (for framing at least) cause its quicker and easier to convert feet and inches than cm's and meters.

Plus saying "cut me one at 108 inches" sounds way better than "cut me on at 2047mm"", lol

 

[dalegordon]

when i met cowboy. i say he had an inch on me. 5ft11

 

[Roman_23]

So ,both of them 5'11, Khabib 5'10 - so best LWs inthe world are manlets according to sherdog?

 

[Paynebringer]

Are you 6'1 in real life or just in your dating profile..?

 

[Logan M]

Let me tell ya all a secret. No fighter in the lighter weights is actually their billed height. I've met several of them. Only one that was legit is Ramsey Nijem. He's a huge fucking guy. How he makes LW is beyond me. Also nice as fuck.

I'm no carpenter, but where is the difference?
Doesn't really sound easier to me.
Maybe because you're already used to imperial...

 

[Roljo]

Dana towers over the both of them. Hell, Rogan looks to be a few inches taller, and he's 5'6 at best.

Midgets confirmed.

Yeah, most lightweights are kind of midgetish

Rogan is standing on a box.

Source?

Smaller numbers are easier to memorize than larger ones so if you were to spend all day working with measurements you'd want them to be easy to remember and work with, hence the smaller number being better in this instance.

Thank you

2.05 m makes sense

now how the hell is it supposed to be easy approximating 108 units of something

also 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm, eazy peazy. They use it in science (SI units) for a reason.

Yeah, to be honest I actually had the same thought right after I posted that.

Teaching a new guy how to read a tape in imperial is far easier is more what I meant, 1/16th, 1/8th, 1/4s and 1/2s are all clearly indicated by the size of the lines while a metric tape is a bunch of tiny lines with no clear way to discern them making it harder on the eyes.

Aside from that though the smaller numbers just flow better and are less of a mouthful.

Metric is good for finishing mind you as its far more precise instead of trying to mark half way between an 1/16th and an 1/8th exactly the same multiple times when there's no clear reference point.

You know what 6'1 is when you see it on a screen?...Marvel sign him up

Have you ever done the job?

Also I grew up working on cars which and socket sets were mainly imperial so I just relate it to that as the marks on a tape are the same measurements as a standard socket set.

Refer to my response to the other dude for further explanation.

Just to clarify I should point out I'm referring to imperial based on 1/16th. If you go lower than that into 32nds and lower it becomes a cluster fuck and yeah, I would rather use metric at that point.

It's not a carpenters vs other people thing. No offense. How many people have your exact same conditioning that it would be a worldwide norm? See how relevant it is now?

don't know much about the job but I assume things get polished off so millimetres don't matter. In that way imperial can be easier.
