5'9"? Where do you guys come up with these bullshit f'ing numbers? Hes not 5'9 just because you cant judge distance in a photo, and hes not 5'9" just because you want him to be.
Every single thread about height goes exactly the same, short fans say fighters are about 2 inches shorter then they actually are because it makes them feel less insecure. Guess what? There are plenty of good short fighters to be fans of without making up fighters heights.
Kurt Angle is in the WWE, not the UFC...
DC looks shorter because he got no neck and a big round head and a butterball shape. Rashad owns a neck and pop that Tshirt body.
I don't see Jones man handling DC or visa/versa but I do see Jones handling his business and a lot of DC supporters jumping on the next guy to beat Jones with their theories & notions as to why Jones will lose to (place name here) ___________.
That's another good point, he's fought guys who were bigger than Jon Jones
the point of this thread wasnt whether or not Rashad was "short" for a LHW, but rather the fact that Jon Jones wasn't able to ragdoll Rashad, or really take him down, so I don't know where these people get off saying he's going to be able to do any better at manhandling or dominating DC in wrestling
None of the guys Cormier has faced were bigger than Jones. Someone may have an inch over Jones (Palelei perhaps?), but considering height + reach (and that Jones knows very well how to use it), this is the biggest challenge of Cormier's career, even considering only physical attributes.
I'm as tall as Cormier is supposed to be officially. fact is that Cormier was listed at 5'10 up until his fights in the UFC and fact is that he doesn't look taller than Pettis and that the UFC and even at the Olympics most guys have an inch or 2 extra in height.
I'm not making up shit.
Do you also believe Lombard is really 5'10? Hint: he wasn't listed at 5'10 at the Olympics
DC is the first guy to not be like +450 against Jones since Shogun
My friend the only odds I pay attention to are NFL football odds. I watch fights I really don't beat them only for shots or beer.
Look Jon Jones is only about 1" taller! Since DC is 5'8"-5'9" Jones must be 5'10 tops. I know this because i did my super scientific analysis on the photo.
DC is literally leaning forward, and his feet are spread out.I never said DC is 5'8. I think he's like 5'9 1/2 or so or maybe he is even 5'10 but Rashad looks taller than you'd think against many guys because most guys are listed taller than they are while Rashad is legit 5'11 so of course he will look taller then expected if everyone else adds an inch.
I'm like 5'10 or 5'10 1/2 in the morning if anyone feels it's essential for whatever reason.
Cormier was also listed as 5'10 in Strikeforce and I think also in his UFC debut but I'm not sure so if an official height is right than it's that one.
Pettis is listed at 5'9 at Sherdog but I think the UFC lists him at 5'10 whatever
And Jon Jones wasn't able to rag doll / finish Rashad..
not saying he didn't dominate that fight...
but this idea that Daniel Cormier is too short, or that he's going to get manhandled by Jon Jones is pretty fantastic. I'm not using MMA math here, I'm just using common sense. I think a lot of you are under the impression that DC is a midget when he's far from it.
