Ive always wonder why the UFC doesnt record & display leg reach as a tale of the tape stat. Its a pretty important stat and paints a better picture of the althetes fighting..for example a 6'1 guy and a 5 '10 guy can have similar arm reach, but leg reach could be significantly different between the two?.. any thoughts as to why not?..

LFA and most kickboxing promotions show this stat.

Like it would intersting to see rockholds leg reach over romero..hes so long i feel like he can kick from like 4 feet away...which means romero if kept a distance will be shooting takedowns or flying knees from way to far away..its intriguing.
 
I would like to have leg reach and their weight on fight night; may give an interesting insight into how a fight can play out
 
Who is gonna measure that? Whilst getting all cuddly on dem nuts?
 
They don’t even have proper height recorded. Alot of fighters don’t seem to have a legit reach measured either. Let alone leg reach.

This stuff would literally only need to be measured once. It’s not like it’s going to change during a fight career.

It’s just more proof of how mickey mouse the UFC actually is, imo.
 
Considering that the UFC is not ashamed to completely falsify the numbers on the tale of the tape graphics, they could put up 20 incorrect measurements. It would not be of any benefit until they start reporting accurate and honest stats.
 
Where are you seeing this? They normally dont on the broadcasts.. is what im saying maybe there going start?

ufc.com

but yah they should include it in their boradcast. and they should also have the correct measurements as its often wrong.
