I believe it. The UFC fucked up one of their reaches.


WAR GUS

As some have already understood, the UFC-stats is bullshit for the most of times. Gustafsson jusst said in the press conference that his reach is actually 81,5 which would be accurate if you look at pictures at Jones and Gustafsson. Jones reach is probably also bullshit and exagerrated.

Some wacky reporter should ask if they can measure both of their reaches next week.

UFC fails hard with plenty of their fighter stats.

another fighter that comes to mind listed with a ridiculously short reach compared to his actual, real one, is Okami.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that the UFC makes so many errors with reach and height stats,its a bit of a joke.
They're important statistics.

 

[Dionysian]

UFC's Alex height = 6'5
Alex's Alex height = 6'3
UFC's Alex reach = 76
Alex's Alex reach = 81.2
UFC's JJ height = 6'5
UFC's JJ reach = 84.5

Though height/reach wise they (Alex/JJ) look decently similar (height/reach wise) in pics

The only thing we know for sure is the UFC stats are likely bullshit. But we've known that for awhile...

i never understood how Okami could have 72 inch. Must be off too.

 

[El Chimpo]

i always thought there was no way he only had a 76 inch reach lol

if they can ask jones and cain to square off, and there is so much hype about this being the guy who jones doesnt have the reach advantage over, then why not - seems like one of the first questions that should be asked\

not that infatuation with reach makes any sense, but give the mob what it wants

They fixed it in his fight with Souza. They wrote 75 inches.

 

[OliverAtom]

WWE stats are more reliable than UFC's.

 

[istay]

He must've been cutting reach and height when they measured it.

 

[sonhow]

Josh Barnett also came in at 155 pounds for the last event.

So Gus only gives up about three inches in reach.

It would be easy to do at one of those media day type interview or ariel interview when they're off to the side. It may be awkward but A) Fans want to know. B) It would get your sites an assload of hits.

Where's Danthewolfman? He posts on here. He'd do it. lol

I know when I saw that with 6'5 I was like wtf

new sports science technology enables you to cut reach now, its still being approved by the FDA

 

[fearoth]

What about leg reach?
