Like 5'3" guys have huge trouble with 5'8" guys.

5'8" guys really have a lot of trouble vs 6'+ guys.

But 5'11 guys don't have tons of trouble with 6'3" guys.

Even though the 4" height difference is the same.

6'5" guys handle 6'10" guys.

It's like once you hit 5'11", a disability gets removed and you no longer have to struggle with your height no matter who you fight.
 
I wouldn't know. I'm 6'5" 230 lbs 4% body fat like most Sherdoggers

I'm 5"11 manletking masterace so I agree with your assessment.

Honestly though you can't generalize fighters and say this guy this height has trouble with guys this height.

It's all about styles if 5"8 guy likes to keep range and create distance he will have trouble with taller guys.
But on the flip another 5"8 guy could prefer it, someone who's used to being the short guy the scenario never changes, get inside and do damage.
 
Lankcells always look like old men by the time they're 25.
 
Now that I think about it most freakshow fights where there's a massive unusual height difference, the manlet usually wins.
Struve vs hunt
Struve vs Nelson
Igor von vs Paul valerens or something
 
There are too many variable other than height to know

I don't know why Sherdoggers absolutely obsess over height lmao

I just think at a certain size you have enough power to knock anyone out if you hit them right, giving guys more confidence vs larger fighters.
 
If your 5'11 fighting a guy thats 6'3 puts you at a huge disadvantage i dont know why you think it doesnt matter once you hit 5'11 and the 6'5 beats the 6'10 guy because at that height you will be slow and also your body is so big that a lot of these giants have lingering injuries all the time.
 
You gotta be at least 9' 11" to fight in the UFC.

And that's at bantamweight.

The heavyweights are much taller, like 30' or something.
 
6'1 - 6'5 are pretty much the perfect height to be. Not too tall, not to short.
 
The same height or taller than your opponent (reach is equally if not more important)

Yes, it's the same 4'', but 4'' represents less and less of your overall height the taller you are. That's why a 5'11'' guy might not have the same problem overcoming a 4'' disadvantage as someone who is 5'3''. The same is true when it comes to weight disadvantage.
 
Height by itself means dick. Some of the easiest fights I've had were against tall guys because they don't know how to fight tall. Most of them don't understand that when I get close enough to hit them, I'm too close for them to hit me effectively. Tall guys are generally easy to hit, especially if you go to the body. Most of them can't fight anyway because other guys usually back down from looking at them and they just don't have to.

I'm 6', 215lbs. I'm not little, but I'm not big either. My cousin is 5'3", 160lbs and I've seen him absolutely kick the shit out of guys as big as I've fought and he was never in any trouble either. My dad is 5'3", 220lbs, and I've never seen him fight but I've heard stories, and by all accounts, height was no issue for him.
