Fun fact of the day: Robert Whittaker is the tallest current UFC champion

Obviously followed closely by Featherweight champion Max Holloway.

Funny that the FW champ is taller than the HW champ. They fight 100 pounds apart.

Whittaker is a manlet as well.... as is Ngannou

Cormier is showin' the world what a fat boy can do.

Making us manlets proud

After seeing basketballers punch on, its pretty obvious height has fuck all to do with destroying men. Prime Tyson had to be one of the scariest dudes of all time. On topic Whittaker is MW king. Retired Gsp.

I think height and length in particular play a huge part in MMA, maybe more than most realize. Of course you gotta know how to use it, but when you do it gives you a huge advantage in striking and grappling. NBA players aren't even trained, half of them haven't thrown a proper punch in their entire existence. A trained NBA player, is a whole different situation tho.

Jon Jones is the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Yet can't "bust a grape" with a 7 foot reach.
