So Max is 5 inches taller...

Right but hes also 5 inches shorter.

No matter how you cut it, max has a disproportionately small wingspan for his height.
Yeah I think average is the same length as your height though so he's only a couple inches off. It's cool how we have guys like Paul Daley who is 5'9 with a 76" reach then Lobov who is 5'9 with a 65" reach.

Yeah. He usually has less reach than his opponent, but his height and the way he leans forward extenuates his range a good amount.
 
Max has alligator arms. I compiled these stats a while back.

In his UFC career max has only had reach advantage in 3 of 18 fights. Max’s reach is 69”

Aldo 70” 5’7”
Pettis 72.5” 5’10”
Ortega 69” 5’8”
Poirier 72” 5’9”
Lamas 71” 5’8”
Cub 70” 5’8
Stephens 71”. 5’8”
Oliveira 74” 5’10
Miller 76” 6’1”
*CROSSANI 68” 5’8”
Collard 73”. 5’11
Fili 74” 5’11”
Chope 76” 6’4
Conor 74” 5’9
Garcia 69.5” 5’10
*BERMUDEZ 66”. 5’6”
*LAWRENCE 67” 5’8”
Schilling 69” 5’8”
 
Either Max beats him up into a bloody pulp into a late tko or Frankie pulls a miracle and wins( idk how lol).
 
Yeah its true.

Dustin is shorter but has an obvious reach advantage here

Max's body and fighting style gives the illusion of length.

Poirez should sport a combover because his current personality doesn't make the big coins.

edgar wouldn't make it out of the first with porier, you'll see tonight.
I’m a huge Poirier fan, and I’m pulling for Max tonight, but to say Frankie wouldn’t make it out of the first isn’t entirely fair. Dustin hits pretty hard but Frankie is tough as nails and is used to the power guys have at LW, so he’d probably make it out of the first, at the very least.

Man respect to bermudez. Hes proportioned right but still has a 66 inch reach.

On a seperate note, Cody G 5'8 65 inch reach yet was able to outbox Dominic cruz on the outside. Crazy
 
It certainly could. Some people might have a shoulder width of like 14" while others could be like 20" or more. Edgar probably has much broader shoulders than Max.

Lol. im sorry, i really don't want to be mean, and i usually like your posts, but this discussion is dumb for 3 reasons
First off, yes they do account for shoulder length because it's a measurement of finger tip to finger tip. That's some very basic fight knowledge (to someone else before you who wasnt sure)

Secondly, they count it because it matters. In striking one rotates the torso during a punch and the width of your torso makes a difference in how far you can stretch out to hit your opponent.

Thirdly, nobody but a child has a 14" torso width. 20" is small unless your like 5'4"

Ah I must be a child lol my shoulders are 15" at 5'11. I know boxing goes by armpit to the end of the fist. My wingspan is 70"

70 is right if you are 5'11. Im guessing barefoot you are actually 5'10.
 
imagine looking like luigi and losing to the same guy twice. 0-2 back down to fighting midgets. it's over for max tonight
