DC is literally leaning forward, and his feet are spread out.
when you go to the doctor and they measure you they tell you to take your shoes off, put your feet together and straighten up for a reason..
i dont want to accuse anyone of being a troll, but dang dude
He's a little bit shorter. Rashad is 5'11 or at least legit 5'10 -5'11 Cormeir looks like he's 5'9 is some pics like when he was fighting 5'8 Monson and he looks shorter than Rashad next to Jones and he has shorter arms
DC isn't a midget he was just a midget at HW and is very short at LHW 5'9 is like the average height in the US
Rashad has been called the tallest 5'11 guy ever and its true. He didnt look dwarfed by Davis at all.
is this worth any discussion?
Yeah the Olympic stats are just as wrong Kurt Angle was listed at 6'2 at the Olympics and he said himself they gave everyone 2 inches extra in height and Kurt Angle is in reality 5'11 or 5'10
I haven't seen many, if any posts saying Jones will 'manhandle' Cormier. If anything this place is full of threads saying the opposite, that jones has no hope in the grappling department and his only chance is to keep it at kicking distance
Davis is shorter than he's billed. He's about 6'1 with perfect posture.
Also, it's a known fact that Pettis lifts.
Are people actually arguing over whether DC is 5'11 or 5'10. It's irrelevant in terms of this fight.

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
Monson is most sometimes listed at 5'8 and sometimes at 5'9 so let's even give him the 5'9 if you want to
PS I don't give a shit about the height discussion. I believe Jones will win and of course his size will help him but won't be the only reason he wins. i simply pointed out that Evans is most likely 1 or 2 inches taller and has longer arms with the latter even being true according to UFC stats (which also happened to have Carwin at 6'5, Couture at 6'2 and have Lombard at 5'10)
Monson is not 5'8 he is a good 5'9 or 5'9.5
I think DC is like 5'10.5 either rounded up or down depending.
I remember seeing him listed at 179cm ( 5'10.5 ) earlier in his career...
I think this is pretty accurate as I see JBJ being a strong 6'4 (maybe around 6'4.5" ) that's what he looked next to Travis Browne..
Also Olympic listings are accurate most of the time and don't "improve" heights..
DC was listed 5'10.5, Gatsalov 5'10, Romero 5'9 and Lombard (!) 5'6.5 (170cm) which is way more accurate to what he looks than 5'9 or 5'10...Ronda is listed 5'6.5, Lindland 5'11.5, Coleman 6'0.75 (185cm) and Cejudo 5'4.5 and I think all are bang on ( most of the weights are completely off though )

he was an Olympic wrestler if you didn't know and he was lsited at 6'2 at the Olympics
I have no idea hwo tall Monson really is I jsut know that he is always listed at 5'8 or 5'9 and that very very rarely fighters are listed shorter than they are.
Romero was listed at 6' in the UFC and in SF interesting that he's only 5'9 because I thought he was legit 5'10 even if he wasn't 6'.
Lomabr dis even shorter than the 5'8 he's listed which is also surprising to me I thought he was legit 5'8 or 5'8.5.
Ok they had Kurt ANgle at 5'11 at the Olympics so you were closer than me allthough still a inch off allthough 1 inch isn't really a difference to speak of. Source:
That is funny because Angle himself said he was 5'10 on Pros VS Joes when he wrestled Charlie Brenneman.
