From his faceoff with Whittaker, they are much closer in height than the billed heights say.

THey both had shoes on, and it looked like maybe a 2" height difference.

Whittaker said on the GrangeTV podcast he's 5'10" - 5'11"
 
Actually, Whittaker had sliders on and Adesanya had proper shoes with thick soles on which probably contributes to an extra 1.5 inch differential.

He's probably like 6 foot 3 1/4 so they bump him up to 4.
 
Adesanya on those height cutting supplements
 
Whittaker looks 5'11ish, Adesanya a strong 6'2, maybe a weak 6'3. UFC will have him billed at 6'7 if he moves up to fight Jones one day.
 
Israel has always been listed as 6 foot 3 before he fought in the UFC. He was bumped up to 6 foot 4 a couple of fights ago when people started making the Jon Jones comparisons. He himself said he was 6 foot 3 in an interview a couple of years ago.
 
He was billed 6'4 in kickboxing. Probably measuring from the top of the hair and not the top of the head.

Jason Wilnes is a legit 6'1.
I can Israel being 6'4

Rogan is supposedly 5'8" but in reality I heard he is more like 5'6".

So from that pic (assuming both barefoot etc etc) I'd say 6 or 7inches height difference, which would make Adensanya 6'0" or 6'1". As usual, UFC fighters greatly exaggerating their height.

He's at the very least 6ft3.
