The fuq they were. Holloway is a stick and Peahead Poirier is...
But we need to stop with this size BS. Conor and Jones are winning mainly due to their skills. I hear you though TS. Nobody was complaining about Weidman or Rockhold's size either.

Jones has only fought one guy his size and he didnt do so hot then. Its not all about skill its about cutting a boatload of weight and beating on people smaller than you. I remember when picking on someone smaller than you was looked at as being a bully and gutless but some mma fighters have no problem with it. Look at rousey the first time she went up against someone her size. Bullys suck

No one denied Conor's skills but it will be interesting to see him fare against a taller, rangier striker for once

Jon Jones fought Stephan Bonnar who was also listed as 6'4. Also, Alexander Gustafsson lost to many shorter fighters (DC, Rumble, Phil Davis).
The problem is people don't know the difference between height and size/mass/weight. I shit you not, I have heard people say 5'11 Mark Hunt is a true MW and Fedor is a true WW. Shorter doesn't mean smaller. But everyone already know this, they just pretend not to in order to discredit fighters or praise others.
& the reason Ronda lost is because she faced a real fighter who was more skilled and had a great gameplan. Not because Holly was simply taller.
& these are fighter mans, not charity cases. Nobody is getting bullied. The fighters enter the cage under their own free will.
Size matters to an extent but it isn't everything. & shorter doesn't always mean smaller. Mark Hunt is 5'11, he is still bigger than all of the LHWs.

Met mad holloway. He's a lot bigger than he looks. That's why he looks so skinny is cuz he has to stay that way with such a big Frame to make 145

Not quite as big and Bonnar put his shoes back on first and Ronda lost because she couldnt bully around Holly like she could everyone else.

They are both listed at 5'9, but still, taller doesn't mean bigger.

If you are arguing about a few inches with Bonnar, then you missed the point where shorter fighters DC, Davis, and Rumble were able to beat Gus.
Ronda couldn't bully Holly around because Holly was more skilled and had a great gameplan, it wasn't simply her height. Ronda is a Judoka, she is good at using her opponents momentum against them. The fighters who had a chance at beating Ronda "Miesha and Cat" did not fight smart. Miesha was shooting in on a Judoka, which made it very easy for Ronda to get her hips in on Miesha and toss her. Same for Cat, she rushed Ronda and got submitted. Both lacked the footwork to stay out of Ronda reach as well. What Holly did was stick and move. She used her footwork, she outboxed Ronda, and instead of going at Ronda and making it easy for Ronda to use her Judo, she was in and out forcing Ronda to chase her in order to get inside. & Ronda couldn't do it without getting lit up, and that slowed her down, eventually leading to the headkick KO.

I thought Bonnar would maul JJ at the time.
