Media Fighters who look taller than what they are listed as

No guys, no no you are wrong. If a fighter looks taller than his listed height that means that´s his real height. They will never claim lower height than they truly are.
Usman isn´t 6 feet what u smoking guys, he is 5"10.
 
Not at all lol. He's the same height than Conor and he was clearly shorter than Gaethje and Khabib who are legit 5'10 dudes.
Khabib is 5"8 1/2 he is shorter than 5"9 DC
 
It's obvious a lot of shorter fighters have exaggerated heights for different reasons, e.g Eddie Alvarez but what about the flipside? There are some fighters that really stick out as being huge guys for the division they fight in, but are listed as smaller. Is it just an illusion with leg reach or something, or am I on to something here?

6'0 Darren Till (Looks closer to 6'2 imo)

Also a few fighters you never realized are legit huge until seeing them properly matched up against others or against other bigger guys in the octagon. For example, Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev are both 6'2, considerably taller than anyone else in the 170 division except Neil Magny. Douglas Lima also one of the bigger 170 guys at 6'1.

Douglas Lima isn´t 6"1, MVP claims he is 6"3, but he is a bit taller than 6"0 Milos Petrasek, MVP is 6"1 and Lima is 5"11 tops

I had a friend comment that ''Dustin is 6ft''. I know he isn't. But I think he looks way taller too. At least 5'10 or '11. I think it's his wider frame. He has a very wide frame.
