I'm white, but i'm down for the BBC on white Pr0n. I'm not a cuck but i am comfortable enough in my marriage to appreciate my wife getting dick'd down and thanking me for fulfilling her dreams.

Sherdog has taught me the answer is height and reach.

Having 80 inch reach with a cement-head + bullneck is a great advantage!

A big ass skull helps.

And a big ass helps generate power.

Just wondering sherbros, if you guys have noticed similarities between bodies of great MMA fighters, and if you think that's why they are succesful.

Ill start by analyzing

One thing I have noticed is that Wide Shoulders, Back, Traps matter in MMA

Legs don't matter at all....Fedor, Jon Jones, etc dont have really thick legs...Fedor has normal legs, nothing special.

Calfs specially don't matter in fighting...inb4 all the dudebro leg day kids come in.

Arm Length matters as well.

Biceps, dont really matter....triceps don't matter.....Not sure if delts matter.


Not sure if chest matters, but Fedor is barrel chested and he is the GOAT.


Low body percentage doesn't really matter, the higher you go in weight IMO.

Arms are for show, Legs are for go!

Penis no matter, we just get dick pills....

Body fat doesnt matter for HWs because of the forgiving weight limit but for other weight divisions body fat matters A LOT. I'd say hips are the most important. Fedor's hip explosion was simply amazing in his prime.

It's important to have a strong core, a good base and decent glutes as well.

Anderson had a 78 inch reach. He often dwarfed his opponents and even held up in size against LHWS.

Tyron’s reach is 74 which is good for a guy his height.

Well of course you can find successful stocky guys. MMA isn’t a let’s measure your wingspan and go home contest.

But it’s important and is an advantage to have the longer reach.

In boxing it’s even more important. Your basically put into your weight class by your height and reach.

Look at guys like Lennox Lewis and Deontay Wilder. His length, height and power make him difficult to beat.

I know, Tyson, but he was an exception to the rule.

Reach is only an advantage if someone has ALL the other abilitys to impose it.
That's why it's not the most important attribute.
It's like saying Tyson's short reach is an advantage because he was always able to get inside real tight and rip to the body and head.
That's no different than Anderson being able to keep range two different people using two different reaches to their advantage.
If someone has faster feet than you and better footwork, then you won't be able to mantain distance and that reach becomes a disadvantage In close range.
It's all about who can impose their game reach changes the way you fight it doesn't determine who has the advantages, all the other factors that allow you to impose your body type is what matters, and that determines who has the advantages
