I'd be curious how this works at HW, where there's more variance in weight. In lighter weight classes, taller fighters typically cut more weight or don't carry as much to begin with, both of which are disadvantages. Obviously at HW you have fights like Hunto vs Struve, but I'm curious how it plays out over a larger sample size
