Gus says he's "6'3"

[EmiloEstevez]

He wears lifts like Stallone.

Or you don't know how to measure? Or maybe you really were in 9th grade in the picture, you do look 14 in that picture.

Gus has about 5-6 inches on you in that picture. If you were 6 feet tall like you said then Gus would be 6'5"-6'6" which everyone seems to agree is not true.

Conclusion:
Gus is 6'3-4"ish and you are below 6' tall in that picture.

lol never change Sherdog

you're a warrior bro

 

[fedordestroyall**]

in UFC you can cut weight and height both.

UFC stand for Ultimate Fighter Cut

Wikipedia says he's 196cm.

This article claims Alexander Gustafsson is 195cm which translates to 6 feet 4 49⁄64 inches. I guess that would make him 6'5", at least when rounding off.

 

[Insmoke]

He looks taller than 6'3 to me.

"6 feet 4 49/64 inches"

Use the metric system already for your own good.

 

[KneetoLiver]

there is negligible height difference between them.

 

[KeyboardFighter]

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.

Thats not true, we use feets and inches in Sweden... We are just more of a progressive country and have shifted most of our measurements over to the metric system. For example, boats are measured in feets and monitors in inches in Sweden.

And Gus is definitely taller than 6 foot 3 inches.

 

[Takingnames760]

5'10-5'11" gsp vs 6'2" condit

6'2" condit w/ 6'4" jones

6'4" jones vs 6'3"? Gus

5'11&1/2" fedor w/ 6'3" gus

I dont know what to believe anymore

 

[Makani]

Whether he's taller or not, I think this is easily the worst promo for a major event in some time. "No one can beat Jon Jones because he's so tall, but now this guy is taaaller!"

 

[HeexX]

He definitely looks a tiny bit taller than Jones.

 

[TheViking]

hmm maybe 6'4

finish guys has some convincing pics, but maybe that other finsh dude is more than 6'4

seems strange Gus in only 6'3.. looks taller imo

 

[Miiiiiiighty]

Lol I always have a theory the ufc boosts all the fighters heights by at least an inch (5'11 gsp).

Some stats are downright laughable, ellenburger used to be the largest WW in existence back when he was listed at 6 foot.
I always shook my head at how someone that tall could possibly possess burgers physique at 170 and knew he must be at most 5'10.

It's not very surprising when you know UFC's business model is WWE on Dana's own confession

Gus seems to be a good 6'4 guy though, probably the kinda of tall guy that doesn't exactly stands right or use his 17 years old measurement..
Or round down ( because in 6'3 = 190 cm )

 

[IIIIIIII]

Heights are almost always inaccurate in sports.

yup. this doesn't just happen in the ufc.

 

[kebab]

There's definitely something wonky with some of the LHW/HW's heighs. Compare Werdum/Reem/JJ and you'll see that Werdum is the tallest of the bunch when he is listed as the shortest. But Jones is a big guy and if he isn't 6'4 (bet he is) the ufc have exaggerated every single fighters height. They only do that for the <170 divisions lol.

 

[Phisher]

I'm using a collection of 3 pictures from 2 which show the footing of both Alexander Gustafsson and Marcus V

"6 feet 4 49/64 inches"

Use the metric system already for your own good.

I used google to get that number, I can't say I understand why some countries chose to stay in the dark ages in some areas.

 

[born2killl]

he's 4'11 without flipflops
