Tallest (current fighters) in UFC by weightclass

There are a bunch of welterweights who are 6'3 plus. Think of Neil Magny or Seth Baczynski.

Trying to compile a list by weightclass of tallest (by height) current UFC fighters.
Feel free to add-on/edit/replace with accurate info

Flyweight-

Bantamweight-

Featherweight-

Lightweight-

Welterweight- Hyun-Gyu Lim 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m)

Middleweight-

Light Heavyweight- Alexander Gustafsson 6' 5" (1.96 m)

Heavyweight- Stefan Struve 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m)

Lim is 6 foot 3, with a reach of 79 inches. His manager said it last year, and Lim himself said it in an interview. Gus said before his fight with Mousasi where he had to pull out, that he was 6 feet 4 inches tall in Sweden promoting the fight last year.
 
6'2" is the tallest in ww?
that surprised me for some reason.
When it's actually 6'0" seeing as how the UFC always lies about tale of the tape stats, yeah. Condit is the same height... HGL is WAYYYYYY fucking bigger though.

Okami is one of the biggest middleweights and also the same height, for reference. Anderson maybe an inch shorter than Okami but not as big.
 
Gustafsson ducking heavyweight, just fighting at LHW because he's scared to fight guys his own size, etc.

Right Jones haters, i.e. Gus nuthuggers?
 
Marcus Brimage Featherweight 5'4....wait; what?!?!?!?
 
Struve in the HW, which is pretty easy to call, the other divisions is to much work to find out for me.

As a Gus fan I can say that I found all that "Jones need to fight people his own size at HW, he's scared" so much bullshit.

If you can make weight you're not in the wrong weightclass. Some cut a lot some cut less. The logic that a tall fighter is scared to fight people "his size" are so stupid!
