I don't know where are you getting all these info

There are only three types of body ( according to somatotype taxonomy)

Echomorph Lean and long, ectomorphs have difficulty building muscle. ( Diaz Brother, Anderson SIlva, Struve)

Endomorph Big with high body fat, often pear-shaped, endomorphs have a high tendency to store body fat. ( Roy Nelson, Daniel Cormier, Mark Hunt )

Mesomorph Muscular and well-built, mesomorphs have a high metabolism and responsive muscle cells. ( Romero, Overeem & Sage)

Pseudoscience bullshit designed to sell protein powder

Endomorphs, in shape are wide, thick, stocky and have big lower bodies. In weight class format they don't typically excel, but naturally they are the most fit for battle in a primitive environment as even the Manlets can be a natural 200 pounder.

Shogun, Chuck, Rampage, Carwin, Hunt, all fit this Body Type.
 
Johnymorphs: can look fit and muscular as long as they don't eat the fries
 
I would say Liddell is long limbed rather than average joe

Long reach while being coordinated is a huge advantage.

Well I have no qualification in Anthropometry, But that one was the only Taxonomy ever made to classify Human Body. I know that theory got debunked later. But still that was the only taxonomy ever designed for Human body classification.

Apart from that one I don't know any of the other available for further classification.
