We all know he's a big FW, almost looking like the machinist in order to cut weight, but I wondered how he measured up to the LWs. I got all the information from UFC's website. I also listed other LWs in the UFC. A few of them might be retired, but they are still listed. He's an inch and a half shorter than the average top 10 LW and his reach is 1.8 inches longer than the average top 10 LW. The most interesting stat is that he's taller and has longer reach than the champ and number 1 contender.

I think he needs to be worried about the weight class he has done well at , is common sense not telling you that ?
 
Size isn't a problem for Conor at LW. He knows it isn't a problem, he's just looking for answers. I'm sure when he rewatches the fight he will see why he got dominantly stopped. Getting bigger isn't the answer. A new game plan and improving as a fighter is.

[Oh and for sure Khabib can't have a 64 inch reach - His arms aren't jelly beans].
 
Khabib has 64 inch reach?!
That some T-rex arms
I'll assume typo
 
Prior to the Nate fight...thread was how Conor will fair up vs. WW's, how things have changed..
 
I find the fighter heights listed on the UFC website are rounded up by an inch or sometimes more. At least that's what I found with all the fighters I rolled with back in the day. Can't speak for Habib's reach, though, but yeah, I didn't think his reach would be that long.
 
Conor aint scared of LW. He'll be fighting for that title at the end of the year.

Anyone who saw their fight could see Diaz was the taller of the two fighters .I suspect Cerrone is shorter than the 6"1 and Diaz slightly taller than the 6", they are commonly listed at .( including the UFC website)
 
Tyson has less reach than most of his opponents.
 
Eddie Alvarez
Height: 5'8"
Reach: 69"

Michael Chandler
Height: 5'8"
Reach: 69"

All the heights came from the UFC website. I figure the margin for error will be the same coming from the same source. I agree that some of the heights appear to be off.

While that's more than likely true, if you grab it all from the same source it shouldn't affect the outcome too much.
