Tony Ferguson has a 76.5 inch reach

[Willek]

I’ve got a 70” inch reach and a 6.5 inch dick. Does this count?

Lucky bastard.

Years later

2 years, not yeaaaaars and years like you're implying. He failed the test in his prime, there's no question about that.

730 days!

 

[Harlekin]

You could see RDA having major problems with Tonys reach, despite being the way more technical fighter.

is tony a reach bully?

If yes, then what should he do? Only fight taller guys in heavier weight classes? Maybe without even putting on extra pounds?

 

[Enigma87]

Maybe he could have established his jab but against Fedor I feel it would be of little consequence. Brett Roger's broke fedors nose with his first landed jab. Did not deter him at all. And that creep hit harder than Sylvia.

Sylvia was 50 times the Striker and MMA fighter Rogers ever was

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Reach divisions are long over due me thinks.

 

[ferrisjso]

Remember when people were saying shit like jon jones is only good because of his ridiculous reach?
tony’s reach is ridiculous for a lightweight. Its actually closer to a MW or LHW. Khamzat has a 75 inch each. Is this real, are tony’s arms that long?

I mean this is pretty old news Tony is very skinny for LW. Tony has an old school LHW frame for sure but today it's more WW or MW. Now 6 ft 0 76 inch reach is small for LHW. But back in the day it was fine above average if anything.

 

[Dorkman]

Sylvia was still a top 5 Heavyweight in the world when that fight happened. Everybody was excited to see it. I bought that pay per view and had friends come over. Now of course the fight we really wanted at that time was Fedor vs Randy, or Fedor vs Barnett, but Sylvia was still a good matchup to make in the mean time.

Yep, Big tim was goofy as shit. But he was very much a legit top HW during his time. He knew how to use his length well on the feet.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Im just a little smaller than Tony but carry the same reach.


When your arms are longer than your height, you enter the “ape index”


Ive been a monkey for far too long


Leonardo DaVinci would dive into this phenomenon in his description of the vitruvian man

Izzy is pretty ridiculous at 80” for a MW

 

[Jesus X]

A 5'11" man is supposed to have a 71 inch reach it is usually your height in inches.

i'm 5'8" so I have a 68 inch reach .
I think a lot of these reach measurents measurements are exaggerated or incorrectly measuredly.

 

[Rank Squatter]

this explains how he can stand And throw sand at the same time

So during his career he was a reach bully.

But izzy is 6’4 and kind of lanky. I don’t see izzy having a strong bench press like say, someone like overweight MW kelvin gastelum.

Reaching for those grapes

If anyone is unfamiliar I will explain Aesop's fable of the fox and the grapes.

The fox sees some grapes growing in the Vineyard.
The grapes look really good so he tries to get them.
He tries to get them all day but in the end is unsuccessful. The grapes are out of reach. Because he has failed to get the grapes he decides that the grapes are actually sour and he didn't actually want them anyway.

The fox is downplaying the thing he wanted because he couldn't get it.

Guys do this all the time with girls
