Gus says he's "6'3"

[Hanri]

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

Well who the fuck uses those anyway?

 

[HerpDerp]

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

Jones is a lot closer to Gustafsson height-wise than people seem to think.

Imagine if Jones stood straight up like Gustafsson does. They're very close. I would say Jones is 6'3 and Gustafsson is more like 6'3,25?

America, Liberia, and Burma.

 

[Ceez]

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.

Stop being serious we are trying to have a sarcastic conversation here!:icon_chee

No Gus is taller than jones and you can see that. I also dont think Jones is 6'3, Bader was 6'2 and was a bit shorter than Jones.

The only way that Jones and Gustafsson could be standing as tall as they've been listed, is if Marcus V

Gus sucks at translating to inches.

 

[tigerstripes]

The only way that would be possible, is if Marcus V

 

[HerpDerp]

It makes sense. Gus can't do math and convert cm's to the metric system. And Marcus is just as bad at math.

Nope. Marcus is a Finnish person, I am a Finnish person, so generally we speak Finnish and measure things with meters. He told me he's 193 centimeters, and I converted it to 6'4 for you guys.

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.

I think they put whatever number the fighter (or his people) come up with. I doubt they are going around measuring everyone on the roster.

I'd say it's just an error. I've stood next to Jones a couple of times, dude is fucking tall and Gus seems a tad taller.

 

[HerpDerp]

I think I am 5'11 but I am actually 6'0 when I was examined for a position. We dont always know our exact measurements but its possible he is what he claims he is. You usually see it for yourself to verify facts, someone telling it to you is not a fact until its verified.



Lets role to Bader vs Jones and Bader is said to be 6'2 as is Glover Texiera and both are and were about the same size.

Bader is shorter than Jones and you can see the height discrepancy and jones is barefoot so there is some issue and something does not fit here.

I realize there's definitely a margin of error involved. I just have a hard time imagining a way for Marcus to be over 195 centimeters. There's just no way. He's not that tall.

But, if you insist, I can probably get my hands on some more official documents that display Marcus' exact height in centimeters.

So you get a different feeling of "fucking tall" when you meet a 6'3 person and when a 6'4 person? :icon_conf

I have some around my computer that proves it I'm to lazy honestly. Remind me I'll put it up tomorrow. Jbj is 6'4, Gus is 6'4 but he stands taller and he has longer legs. Google gsp height and it pops up with relations and lines. GSP is actually 5'7 to 5'9 they think based off of dana whites, joe rogans height, and matt hughes. Matt hughes is 5'6 5'7 and Bj is 5'7. Rory mac looks tall next to gsp and rory is actually 5'11 so there is a reason. He's probably 4 inches taller. Yes not to rip on him but GSP is a manlet.

There is no way in hell Hughes is 5'6 or 5'7.

 

[nattylight]

this is not news.

 

[Ald0]

I'm 6'3, I'm pretty sure Gus is taller.

 

[JustinvR]

maybe hes isnt really good in converting CM to Inches.

 

[gopackgo555]

lol he told the UFC a shorter reach and height. Pretty funny

you also have to remember Gus and Fedor are listed as having a 2 inch reach difference.

also this pic just shows how good fedor was
