Junior dos Santos cuts reach confirmed!!!
fun fact: all of the current champions have average to short wingspans for their height, aside from Jones and Usman.
If reach is so important, why are armlets dominating?
On paper I would agree it is an advantage. But in practice longer armed fighters are constantly outboxed by the armlets.Because reach is just one of the many attributes that make up a fighter. I'm not saying you can't be good unless you have a long reach, but it's definitely a benefit to have. Look at how Jones uses his reach to keep people away, look at how Tony uses it to D'Arce people from all angles (can't do that with Artem reach). Imagine if Holloway had Lee's reach for example. You don't think that would help him?

Some fighters use reach/length very well and some don't. Jones is a master. But it has to be combined with other skills and athleticism. If reach were all that was needed, Cyrille Diabaté and Kendall Grove would've been elite.
LOL, are your knuckles covered in cuts from where they drag along the floor as you walk aroundI'm 5'10" with an 80 inch reach. Imagine if I was a fighter with great speed, cardio, chin, and power instead of working in an office at a desk all day.
Just measured, goddammit... I'm 181cm tall but my reach is only 69 inches? SHIT...
now Sherdog has given you reach insecurity in addition to your hairline worries.
reach is measured by wingspan. So he is about 5'11 with a 5'9 wingspan. "Normal" proportions are a 1:1 ratio.a 69 inch reach is like almost 6 feet. He wont have insecurities he is a fucking alien
Bullshit
He is lying5'9 (175cm) tall guy with a 77 inch (196 cm) reach. Imagine if he actually had the cardio and skills to match his physical attributes.
I'm a manlet at 5'7" and have the same reachJust measured, goddammit... I'm 181cm tall but my reach is only 69 inches? SHIT...
