Gus says he's "6'3"

[SaintSoldier]

I think they're both 6'4"

 

[tigerstripes]

Gus is 6'5...

He just happens to suck at math.

 

[fearoth]

He's at least 1 meter 95 centimeters.

Cuts height

lol xxxxxx

 

[Hanoi Rox]

From what I've seen at staredowns Gus is taller than Jones and Jones does seem to be at about 6'4 so I'd say Gus is about 6'5. Gus's reach on the other hand, yeah UFC needs to fix their stats on that one.

They don't use feet and inches in Sweden so Gus could have just been answering wrong. Gus is probably 6-3 to 6-4 range while Jones is probably 6-3.

Also here's and old thread where Gus's height comes up:

I met Jon Jones he's a solid 6'4 1/2

 

[Phisher]

Lol at someone lying about being shorter. No one does that. No one. Sherdog is funny.

No, but it's much more likely that, as a European, he's more comfortable with the metric system.

Jones is a legit 6'4" and Gus is clearly a bit taller.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

If Jones is 6'4, Gus is 6'5.

 

[OldManGrip]

if thats true jones is 6'2.5, which is not true so gus is about 6'4.5 and jones is 6'4 or so

 

[Kickwrestler]

Shoes likely came into play when theyve stared down as well.



Tito Ortiz has worn shoes to weigh ins, like he did against forrest

I think Shane Carwin is still the worst to date on UFC fabricating height figures. That dude wasnt one inch taller than 6'1 and they billed him at 6'5. Carwin was looking up at Mir during their staredown.

 

[Morozevich]

I highly doubt Gus really knows how tall he is, as most fighters don't know themselves until someone actually measures for them. The UFC measured him and he's 6' 5" tall, it even says in the commercial.

Not to mention, he's trying to convert from the metric system -- so he really doesn't know how tall he is.

 

[mawashi geri**]

Gus probably got mixed up from cm to feet/inches conversion

Lombard at 5'9 has to be the second biggest lie.

 

[Cuauhtemoc]

I think he may be right, shoes come into play maybe his shoes are a bit thicker than Jones's...
there was a pic around he was close to a fighter listed at 6'4'' and he was a bit shorter

 

[Concrete]

Gus doesn't know what feet and inches are. Seriously, he's a continental.

He's absolutely 6'5"

 

[mammothreis]
