The "Ortega is a giant" narrative is a bit odd...

[BigMuffler]

He may walk around pretty heavy but he's only 5'9 max (listed as 5'8, but it could be from when he was younger and still had a bit to grow), I think people thinking he is massive based on comparison to Frankie are forgetting something:

It's not exactly hard to look like a Goliath next to Frankie (unless you're Chad or Urijah), he's just that Short and Proud. Is normal:

It's probably because Ortega is the only "giant" who actually won decisively lol.

 

[WouldNotBang]

He makes Jones look like Labron James

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Ortega is easily the same size as Max, who is 5'10

 

[Jossaff]

So you decided to post every single staredown Frankie has had but Ortega's ?

Nice TS

 

[dragovic]

Also skinny fat. Amirite

 

[octagon888]

The narrative should be, Frankie is a god damn warrior, who is not even a lot bigger than Mighty Mouse and won the LW title yet he gets 1/1000th the respect DJ does.

Not an unusually large difference between him and the beauty by Frankie's standards XD

wtf, he gets 1/1000th the respect MM does?? its MM who gets no respect (deserved, nowadays), frankie gets a lot of respect here

 

[Jackonfire]

Ortega himself says he's big for the division and talks about moving up sooner rather than later.

[orasul499]

some people just have weird body types which makes them appear much bigger/smaller than they are. youd always need to see ortega near a tree or something just for a reference size

Didnt realize Jeremy Stephens was so short

 

[BigMuffler]

Didnt realize Jeremy Stephens was so short

I guess he too is Short and Proud lol

Not talking here just in general. He has always fought guys way bigger than him for the most part and when guys were basically his size, he fucking wrecked them. MM doesn't fight nearly the constant killers Edgar has faced and where is he on the P4P list? Nowhere to be found because pound for pound is the biggest pile of horseshit in combat sports. Pound for pound is mostly a list of champions..... It's a joke.

Frankie could have most likely fought at 135 in his prime.

Max looking like he had a stroke in that picture.

he's not on the list right now because it has been quite some time since he has been champ, but everyone respects frankie as an all time great

Is Sherdog filled with manlets? Why this obsession with other men's heights?
