The height difference but identical reach in this fight had me thinking. What's more important? Height or reach? Would you rather be 5'11" with a 5'6" reach or 5'6" with a 5'11" reach?
 
Personally I'd rather be 5'6" with 71" reach because I'm short as hell I'd kill to be 5'6"!!

Average height for my ethnicity with monster reach!

currently I am 5'2" with nearly 67" reach!
 
For fighting I'd rather her be shorter with a freakishly long reach.

For all other purposes, give me the height.
 
I’m 6’3 with a 76 inch reach ..... I’m happy as I am
 
For MMA, I'd take height over reach. You still have long legs for teeps, and roundhouse kicks. I like to fight on the inside anyway.
 
I would rather be 240 months old, rather than 20 years old.

For those still doing the math, I'm actually about to be 600 months old this year.
 
I guess being short with a reach advantage has some advantages, but I would go with height.

Height only makes a difference in basketball and bitches. Reach is everything in fighting. Max only had a 1 inch advantage the way they measure it, but the way Max leans in and throws that jab it's a far bigger advantage than they said.
 
No one wishes to be a manlet.

Yeah Mods this is the guy right here. He isn't even close to 6'9".

what's your ethnicity?
 
5'6 with a 71" reach? You could do some serious damage at lower weight classes but I'd take the height in a hypothetical match up.
 
I would rather be the taller guy because I don't get brain damage for a living.
 
So you can be 5'11" and grow your BIs easily? Sounds good
