Gus says he's "6'3"

[tigerstripes]

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

How tall is Lombard?

 

[King of Fists]

I really doubt he is 6`5". One thing you can be sure of, the UFC loves to exaggerate stats. So if they say he is 6`5", he`s probably 6`3" or 6`4"

 

[Over and out**]

How tall is Lombard?

He looks to be around 5'5 or 5'6

 

[dfoster]

5'8"

 

[tigerstripes]

 

[Kickboxer0204]

Dude's like 5'6" lmao

 

[AmericanCharm]

How tall is Lombard?

He's most likely about 5'6 1/2 or a flat 5'7 from what i've seen comparing him to his opponents and in terms of body structure. Thats what i would assume Palhares is also.

The taller you are the less concerned you are about it. The UFC doesn't measure heights anyway how many times have you seen two guys listed at the same height when there's clearly more than an inch difference. Most fighters add inches to there listed height anyway. Belfort claims to be 6'0 tall but when my 6'1 self meant him I had a good 2.5 inches on him.

Ellenberger and Shields were both listed as 6' in the tale of the tape.

Anderson also lied about his height when he debuted in the UFC. He also told Pride he was 5'11" and that's what they listed him as for his first few fights there.

Gus is 6'5...

He just happens to suck at math.

Blondes...

How tall is Lombard?

For what it is worth i remember Joe Rogan saying a couple of months back that Lombard was 5 foot 7. Lombard himself a couple of years ago said that he was 5 foot 8 in an interview. So let's say 5 foot 7.5 (LOL).

 

[HerpDerp]

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.

You're trying to tell me this guy is only 6'3?

I agree UFC is often full of shit with stats, but I'm going to agree with Gus being 6'5.

hes 6 5. he probably just bullshitted because he doesnt use american measurement

Gus is 6'5...

He just happens to suck at math.

He's at least 1 meter 95 centimeters.

He looks taller than Jones. 6'5 it is.

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.

He is definitely shorter than 6'4, and I know this for a fact. How? I've been involved with plenty of Finnish MMA fighters, and one of them is a 6'4 tall viking breed akin to Gustafsson. He's called Marcus V

 

[HerpDerp]

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

Yeah, you're probably referring to Marcus V

I always thought Lombard looked extremely short for 5'8/5'9. Looks more like 5'6.

Wanderlei and Leben look shorter than 5'11 to me. Thiago Alves at 5'9? lol.

Pat Barry looks pretty short for 5'11 too

I don't think it's just the UFC hyping their fighters' heights up either.

I think a guy like Hector Lombard, whom I've heard is a bit of an egomaniac in the gym, could've easily simply lied about his own height to make himself seem like a bigger man. I mean, he's a short guy and he knows it, but doesn't like it.

 

[MartyMcFry]

Pretty funny vid. lol @ who's the better trash talker and Gus is quick to put up Jon's face.

 

[yookfarb]

Seems a bit too unbelievable that Jones is actually 6'2".

 

[tigerstripes]

Europeans downgrade their height often and Americans upgrade their height.

I am sure Jones is at minimum 6'3 barefoot so Gus has to be at least 6'4 barefoot.

Anderson is a legit 6'2 right?

 

[EmeliankoFan1]

I dont think Gus really knows how tall he is, he is taller than 6'3 or Jones is not 6'4.
