Is Jon Jones reach actually 7'0 ???!!

[OnePunchBrawler]

NO WAY, his reach is 7'0, his reach looks more closer to 6'8 then it is 7'0....


NOTE: DC's arms are not even extended like jones and you can clearly see that is not a 7'0 reach...

Yep, 84.5 inch reach, 2nd longest in UFC history (i think)

I call bs tbh, it's realistically 80 inches MAX.

How do you measure reach

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

How do you measure reach

"HOW DO YOU MEASURE REACH IN MMA? To measure your reach, all you need to do is spread your arms out parallel to the floor and measure the length from the tip of your left middle finger to the tip of your right middle finger"

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Jones' reach cannot be measured in inches, but rather, the number of lives he has touched and changed for the better.

 

[usernamee]

is this the most retarded comparison photo ever?

 

[revoltub]

The reach measurements arent consistent between fighters and some dont even have it measured. Chuck Liddell mentioned this before.

Conor we have proof it was measured but he was also billed as 72 inches before. Plus the tape measure isnt straight in the video.

I'd be skeptical of any reach measurement billed in the ufc. Leg reach is even more shady.

 

[Tweak896]

I heard the measurements aren't exactly perfect for ufc. Would be shocked if it wasn't.

Now it makes sense why people say he has one of the longest reach in history

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Jones is 7'0 and Artem's is 2'0

Just for knowledge the average persons reach is typically the same as their height.

 

[TheMadHatter]

Definitely is all of that. I’ve met him.

I have no clue, however I'm a master at measuring my pogo stick if you want to learn.

3rd longest now. There is a new guy at HW with way longer reach.

 

[Bojka]

Just for knowledge the average persons reach is typically the same as their height.

For women I think due to narrower shoulders. For men it's typically 2 inches higher.

I can see a longer reach but not way longer, that would make the new guy a damn alien.

 

[VonSupervillain]

I have my doubts. I'm 6'4 also, with long limbs, and have a much wider upper body than Jones (which also impacts the fingertip to fingertip method of measuring reach.) I'm at 80 inches. Just comparing ourselves visually, it's hard to believe Jones is at 84.5".

Reach stats are number 1 bullshit just like height stats

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Jon did some serious reach cutting for that fight.
