Leung: I just watched the fight again yesterday.. and really looked at each round.. I give round 1 to shogun.. round 2 was close but I can give machida that round. round 3: shogun took that round as well.. he was landing and doing much more.. then that flurry came by machida at the end.. but if you look at it close.. shogun landed more clean shots in that flurry than machida. machida felt the last one hard so he had to clinch. even If machida would have won that flurry I still see shogun taking the 3'rd round, he was doing much more. and round 4 and 5 was all shogun.. the headkick machida threw in the 4'th was blocked by shogun.. I don't count that as a hit?!.. I mean.. I don't count shoguns two kicks that machida checked. and aggression and octagon control all went to shogun all 5 rounds.. cecil peoples is widely known as an idiot and that is that.. giving alot of bogus-criteria-points to machida he just made up himself.. like he gave him extra credit for not being taken down and not being being knocked out.. controlling the octagon by luring shogun in.. give me a break.. he was running :) and saying legkicks don't do any damage.. what!? but that's ok.. cecil showed he knows nothing about fighting when he picked karate as his style a long time ago.. now he is so happy his style gets some recognition instead of ridicule because of machida and now he's desperate to have machida stay as champ.. there will never be a "karate" guy again as champ.. muay thai/boxing is where it is at.. cecil knows it and is just clinging on to machida like machida is clinging on to the belt ;) and now machida is out because he broke his hand.. probably in the fourth round when shogun kicked his hand. I don't know if it's true though.. machida knows he needs more time to train for shogun.. or he is hoping shogun has to face someone else first and lose.. like always.. just like in the ring.. machida is running! but I'm glad shogun says that he will use the same gameplan next time.. rushing in on machida is both good and bad.. it's good because he is not used to getting hit and loses control.. but at the same time shogun could run into a counter before he connects on machida. I guess we agree on the most important part.. who's the better fighter and who deserved to win and the scoring I guess we have to disagree on. but what makes you say shogun deserved to win if he didn't win on your scorecard!? I don't get it? deserving to win to me is because he did more damage.. controlling, aggression, and landing more... but all that to me equals more points and winning the rounds?! well. this discussion could go on forever ;)

Leung says on 31/Oct/09
mId, I agree that Shogun was the overall better fighter and more dominant fighter and deserved to win but based on the MMA round by round point system I agree with the 48-47 decision to Machida. Rounds 1 and 2 were extremely close and Shogun was perhaps unlucky not to get one of those but he clearly did not win either of those rounds so you can not accuse the judges of getting it wrong. Machida won round 3 for sure. Shogun won rounds 4 and 5 convincingly but he just didn't do enough in either round to score better than 10-9. So stop blaming the judges and talking rubbish about karate bias because their unianimous 48-47 decision was correct, if you want to blame anything then it's the scoring system, sometimes the lesser fighter is victorious because of the way fights are scored and you know this.
Anyway a rematch is likely and Shogun will know what to do next time.

mId says on 27/Oct/09
Leung: I don't know what to say.. so every fan, fighter, commentator, sport-reporter and dana white (only time I agree somewhat with him).. basicly every fan who was there was wrong.. listen to the boos machida gets and the cheers shogun gets. only ones who think machida won where the 3 judges who are idiots and know nothing of the sport.. cecil peoples.. karate guy.. hmm.. who is he gonna vote for. cecil peoples said that machida landed most effective strikes.. yeah righ.. it wasn't shogun who had problem walking and looking beat up after the fight. he even said that machida took the octagon control because running backwards he made shogun come after him.. what a joke.. he ran because SHOGUN took control and was attacking and he wanted no part in it. shogun slipped or blocked every punch thrown by machida exept one that slipped through a little. he got in 2 good knees.. but shogun landed punches, elbows and KICKED the **** out of machida.. kneed him in the clinch etc.. look at any fightmetric or fight-stat.. or better yet.. just watch the fight. cecil people is a delusional karate-idiot and the other judges where just as bad. Even most of the machida fans thought shogun won.. even machida himself knew he lost the fight. I don't know what to say if you thought machida won.. I would ask based on what exept I would probably get the same answer as from cecil peoples, because only a biased machida/karate fan-boy could think he won that fight. But it does not matter because 99.9% of the world see shogun as the new champ anyway. machidas belt is a joke.. much like his "samurai-honour". only thing I agree with you on is that shogun was the better fighter. he is by a long shot the better most complete and more accomplished fighter of the two. I hate seeing a bad decision like bisping-hamill because that did not go to the right guy but THIS fight was just pure robbery.. SHOGUN dominated machida.. did everything but knock him out (because he just keeps running) and still lost. I mean.. if you have to beat the champ (meaning KO him) then what is the point of having judges in a title fight?. on every score-card (from reporters/sport-writers) they had shogun winning. but dumbass cecil people had to **** up AGAIN! he should stick to judging karate. cause he knows nothing about mma. and that's that. talking about how lowkicks don't do any damage.. have shogun give him a kick or two.. cecil peoples = idiot! way to go cecil.. rob a deserving hard working kid of his dream. forrest-rampage was alot closer and they gave it to the challenger forrest.. THERE the legkicks of forrest was scored greater than rampages knockdown. It's all about a popularity contest in the ufc it seems.. the judges must be bought, biased or just plain stupid. there is no other answer for such a bad decision.

Leung says on 27/Oct/09
mId you are exaggerating man. First time watching the fight I too thought that Shogun was the winner but then I watched it a second time and analysed each round and it was a close fight. Shogun won rounds 4 and 5 easily,
Machida won round 3, rounds 1 and 2 were close but I see Machida got them narrowly. The unanimous 48-47 decision to Machida was correct. Overall Shogun was the better fighter but broken down on a round by round basis he only won 2 of 5 rounds.

mId says on 26/Oct/09
I think shogun is the 182 cm he was listed as before pride and in pride.. then machida would be 6'1 BUT.. is machida 6'1.. look at him next to anderson listed 6'2.. there is more than 1' difference.. and if anderson is taller than 6'2 then nog is 6'4 or taller.. and he has always been listed 6'3.. even om his own website. and then you have to make bob sapp even taller than his 6'4 that he claims. it just goes on :p maybe shogun just is 5'11.. he looked the same height as his brother in their instructional videos.. and some fans feel he isn't taller than this.. I don't know.. but what I do know is that SHOGUN IS THE NEW UFC LHW CHAMPION!!! BIGGEST F*CKING ROBBERY I'VE EVER SEEN.. that was low.. even for cecil peoples.. but.. hey.. karate-guys stick togheter I guess. And if machida had any honor he would give the belt to shogun.. but no.. he starts hiding behind the judges.. f*ck him.. paper champion. he should talk about fedor not fighting anyone.. let's see him go through rampage, arona, lil nog and liddell. SHOGUN is the champ in the peoples eyes.. machida lost the fight and he knows it. he got dominated all 5 rounds pretty much.. and still won by the judges and he just holds on to his belt 'cause he knows he won't get it back.. I have no respect left for him and as you can tell.. I'm pretty upset to say the least.

mma fan says on 25/Oct/09
chuck is 6'1.5, can not be shorter than that, shogun looked 6'0 next to 6'1 Machida

Brent says on 27/Sep/09
I just met Chuck at a bar in San Francisco, I have a pic with him too. I'm 5'10.75 and he was about 2.25 inches taller than me, making him 6'1 flat, no question, end of story.

Shogun at most 5'11 1/2 I think. Here's him next to 6'1 Lyoto Machida.

mId says on 31/Aug/09
shogun is a difficult one.. he is between 5'11 and 6' I would say.. he can look around 184cm at rare times. fans who met him usually say 5'11-6. I think he is a little taller than rampage but he is shorter than damien maia who is listed 6'. and in the dvd secret's of chuteboxe.. he and his brother ninja are about the same height.. his brother is listed 5'11 and that is ninjas top height I would say. And if shogun would be 6'1 there would be much greater difference between them. they look the same in height.. maybe 1 cm difference tops. crocop has said he is exactly 186cm and shogun is shorter.. so 6'1 I can't see him as. 184 cm tops.. and if I would guess I would say the 182cm seems spot on.. he could be full 6' though.

Steve says on 29/Aug/09
So what about Shogun - 182 cm or 185 cm ? When he started fighting he was listed 182 cm, but now he have got 6'1 ... maybe somebody met this great fighter ? :D

Hi All says on 21/Aug/09
Read Glenns comments on the bottom. Ufcfan figured him out and calls him a liar back in 2007, so comical.

mId says on 13/Aug/09
he's not 5'11 to me.. he was listed 5'11 in the early ufc's. and he's alot older now. I have not heard anyone who met him say he was anything but 5'10. and he looks it too. one guy who trained with ken said he was 5'10 and he trained with ken many times and said ken was a little shy of 5'10 because they were the same height when he was barefeet and ken was in thin wrestlingshoes. ken is shorter than dana white.. look at tuf season 3. and dana white is just shy of being the same height as dan henderson (look at the blogs etc) that this site has as 5'11. 5'10-5'11 has always been what fans who met dan estimate him as and he has been listed both 5'10 and 5'11 in fights in the past.

mma fan says on 12/Aug/09
mId,Ken Shamrock is not 5'10, he is 5'11. One picture does not justify everything.

mId says on 10/Aug/09
Click Here ken shamrock with royce gracie who measured in at 184 cm in japan. like I said.. ken was shorter then 5'10.5 tops dana white. like so many people have said. ken is around 5'10.

and about dan cramer.. he only had 2 fights in the ufc and I haven't really studied him.. he's listed 6'2. the listed 6' matt he fought recently didn't look any shorter from what I remember.. I don't know matt's real height either.. so it would be a wild guess.. I know they like to add 1-2 (or in wild cases like carwin 4) inches.. but If I was gonna guess I would say 6 - 6'1 for dan. he could very well be 6'2 though but experience says 1-2 inches shorter than listed is true for most. so that's my GUESS.

Anonymouse says on 6/Aug/09
mid what are your thoughts on dan cramers height ? In his last fight against matt arroyo he didnt look much taller

Anonymous says on 5/Aug/09
no Lester, Ken Shamrock is 6'0", Tito Ortiz only had at most two inches on Ken Shamrock. And he's six-two. So Ken would actually be the same height as you.

mId says on 29/Jul/09
ken shamrock was listed 5'11 in early UFC's. I have a hard time seeing him at 5'11 these days unless you take morning height. he looks 5'10 tops. I mean.. dana white who I belive to be 5'10 - 5'11 was taller than shamrock on tuf 3 +. plus there have been many reports of people training with ken that he was about 5'10. But out of the two of us you are the one who met him so I really can't say.. I guess anything is possible. chuck at 6'1 midday-evening height I can see though. adds up pretty good.

Lester says on 28/Jul/09
Ken Shamrock is 5'11", not 6'0", which happens to be my height, I met him once and I had an inch on him.

Brent says on 28/Jul/09
I just met Chuck!!!!!!!!!!!! he was at a bar in san francisco i got a pic with him, i wll try and upload it asap. he is a solid 6'1 but still very intimidating but still a very nice guy!

Yaspaa says on 15/Jul/09
Joe Rogan said during the fight that George doesn't like to cut too much weight as its bad for the body and he wants to have a long career,20lbs seems like a lot to me.

Clay says on 8/Jul/09
George St.Pierre said in an interview here in Canada that he will be weighing 190 pounds for his fight with Thiago Alves. So he puts on 20 pounds in that 24 hour period after the weigh in, I dont know why UFC doesnt do what boxing does and weigh them right before the fight as well.

Clay says on 23/Jun/09
Cutting weight doesnt happen over night for them. About a week before they have to weigh in they graudaly start losing wieght until the final night where they hit the sauna and cut right down to 185, 205 or what have you. When Silva says he weighs 215, he means he weighs that months before he fights - and he does.

Yaspaa says on 9/Jun/09
ToAlex,215lbs and 185lbs are their off season weights,where coming up to a fight they will be about 10lbs lighter before they start to cut weight.

Yaspaa says on 2/Jun/09
Where did this 6'6.5 come from for Sylvia,he was probably barefoot backstage with Taker. Click Here

Guys, I wasn't able to meet Chuck 2 weeks ago. He was suppose to come up my block at the karate place but didn't or came another time I didn't know about.

Alex says on 12/Apr/09
I would expect Chuck to be an inch taller than me. Hopefully I get to meet him and get a pic. If I do then I'll def have Rob post it on here.

mId says on 11/Apr/09
I don't know what happened to my post so I'll post again.. machida may be 6' but thiago silva was the one who had 1" on machida not the other way around? and Alex.. a picture would be awesome but I would trust your estimate without a pic. being around 6' yourself you can see if he is like only 1" taller or if he's noticable taller.. hope you get to meet him.

Alex says on 10/Apr/09
Roger, never met him before. I may get a chance in a week. He is coming right up my street so I should meet him but question is will I be able to get a picture with him. I gotta see if they allow it.

Anonymous says on 7/Apr/09
Machida is definatly a legit 6 foot mid day IMO and he had a definative height advantage over Thiago Silva who supposedly had the same stats at least on paper. There was a clear 2 inch height advantage at least for Machida and he wasn't stretching to look taller but T. Silva wasn't really standing straight so maybe 1.5'' difference both were listed at 185cm (6'0.85'')

Leung says on 31/Mar/09
mmafan, yeah I remember him fighting at 205 against James Irvin. Silva did look a little pudgy around the mid-section in that fight, but he still destroyed Irvin easily.

ToAlex says on 30/Mar/09
Anderson Silva has confirmed in many interviews that he cuts from roughly 215lbs. That weight cut isn't unreasonable. Sean Sherk cuts from roughly 185 to make 155.

mmafan says on 29/Mar/09
Anderson is 214 Alex(his own words), no reason to lie. He fought at 205 one last year. I know, he does not look 214. he look much smaller than 214

Alex says on 28/Mar/09
Mid, I am 6'0.25ish at midday. If I met Chuck I'd be 6'0-6'0.25. Chuck has said he's 220lbs. That would mean he'd have to gain 15lbs in a day or so, kinda im possible but him at 210-215 and cutting to 205 seems possible. Anderson Silva 215 cutting to 185lbs, ehh not sure. Probably more like 200-205lbs cutting to 185.

mma fan says on 27/Mar/09
Pictures with Chuck would be very nice Alex. Liddle at 6'1.5 looks very accurate to me. Anderson Silva is 97kg(214 pounds).

mId says on 26/Mar/09
that would be awesome alex.. you are the same height as me so it would be fun to see how liddell would look next to you. I think you will estimate him as 6'1. my brother is 6'1 and a staredown (just for fun) between him and me looks like rampage-liddell difference.. and that is giving rampage a full 6' before bed.. this I don't however think he is and that would make liddell about 6'0.5.. 184cm before bed. but I have a hard time seeing liddell under 6'1 still even at night. he can look tall.. anyway.. good luck on getting a picture or even a chance of meeting/seeing him alex. btw.. I was wrong in my previous post.. apparently anderson walks around at 215.. sorry. /greetings from sweden.

Alex says on 25/Mar/09
Chuck Liddel is suppose to be making an appearance at this karate place up my street. If so I'll go and see if I can get a picture with him.

mId says on 19/Mar/09
yeah.. rashad is a big dude size-wise.. this pic will be taken down soon but here you can see that rampage sure does not look like 6'1 or maybe even 6' when you consider that silva is listed 6'2 and is one inch shorter than listed 6'3 nog.. I have other funny pics that show how short some of these guys really are. rampage is wearing nike-shox in this pic.. not sure about silva.. probably shox for him too.. Click Here it just makes the silva pound for pound argument even more stupid.. this is a guy who walks around 220-230 and cuts to 185 and fights people a head shorter than him. and dana calls him the best fighter simply because he hasn't got fedor in UFC.. Fedor is the true p4p king and he's a short HW fighting giants. plus he's never lost unlike silva who lost to 2 small japanese guys in pride. I like silva and he's a good fighter but fedor is great.. p4p and HW king. /greetings from sweden

gerguy says on 19/Mar/09
so whats the deal? 5'10.5 rashad, 6'1.5 chuck. seems accurate

mId says on 17/Mar/09
Roger: I'm just guessing so don't take my estimates as facts but I'm going with what some fighters say is there height.. what they say the doctor measured them as and then I estimate other fighters based on that. + some fan pics etc where the poster has measured and stated his height. At the end of one round in the tito-liddell fight.. I belive it's their second fight.. they stand straight and look at eachother and tito looks to be an inch taller than liddell.. I think tito is a true 6'2 he even said 6'3 on all access.. but I would love to hear more from the guy who said they measured tito at a party once and he was 6'1.5". (posted long ago on the tito page) I think that can be his evening-height. and that he would be 6'2 during the day and 6'2.5 in the morning.. and then he himself rounds up to 6'3. just a theory. but I would give liddell a full 6'1. I know someone said he was like 6'05.. but I don't know.. could be.. atleast before bed. the height listings are all over the place.. forrest griffin who looks 6'3 and is taller than tito with like half an inch was listed as 5'10 in one fight.. hehe.. crazy.. and in another fight he was listed as 187 cm.. so you never know :) but i belive him (forrest) to be around 6'3.

mId says on 16/Mar/09
Roger: the pics you have posted are not very good.. sorry.. I'll tell you why. in the silva rampage photo rampage is barefoot and silva is wearing nike-shocks. + you can't tell there but silva was actually little taller like half a centimeter than jackson there (see weigh-in video).. and the liddell jackson photo.. they are both wearing shoes.. barefoot weigh-in photo and video show that liddell is 1" - 1.5 inches taller than jackson. Something I like you pointed out (that very little people even taken notice to) was the rashad rampage staredown..unless rashad wasn't wearing lifts it shows that rampage is very close to rashads listed 5'11.. but this isn't a shock.. fans been saying this for years.. just look how crocop at according to himself is 186cm somewhat towers rampage.. this is what makes me belive liddell is 6'1 tops because there wasn't that much height difference between rampage liddell as rampage crocop (videos of them together etc).. and silva is 5'10 tops. but let's say he is 5'11 just for kicks.. with the biggest nike shocks on he is 183.6 cm going with the highest listed shocks here on this site.. he was taller than rampage with like 6 mm.. silva would have to be 5'11 before bed to make rampage a legit 6' before bed.. wich is crazy.. rampage is in the 5'11 range. same with couture.. I'm glad you point out though that they are overlisted.. sometimes it's even ridicolous.. but many people still belive it :) your estamations were good but you just had bad luck choosing pics to prove it. /greetings from sweden

most estimations were ok, before Brock Lesnar. The fact is because of brock, now we are understimating others. The fact is Brock is at least 6'2.5. Randy at 6'0 and Chuck at 6'1.5 is totally right. If you put Brock at 6'2.5 things makes sense more. We can not understitame several people only becuae of assuming Brock is 6'2.

mId says on 6/Mar/09
yeah Cliffy. I would guess you are right.. I heard from someone who was 5'10.. said he trained with shamrock on more than one occasion.. said shamrock was the same height as him.. maybe little under 'cause while the other guy was barefoot shamrock was wearing wrestling-shoes.. but he said 5'10 for shamrock 'cause wrestling shoes are so thin. and your franklin guess seems spot on.. could go 0'5 inches either way though.. he was listed 6' 183 cm when he faught machida outside the UFC. /greetings from sweden.

Cliffy says on 5/Mar/09
Shamrock's 5'10". I used to practice BJJ with some of his guys and he was always around coaching. I'm 5'11.5" barefoot and Ken was at least an inch shorter, in flip flops. I would guess that Franklin is about 6'.5", in the cage...

Shamrock is a full 5'11. He used to be listed 181cm long time ago , which a strong 5'11. I guess Rich and Michael Bisbing are both 6'0.5

I met Shamrock, several times. Barefoot I'm 5'11" even. Standing side by side we were the same height (maybe an edge to me), but he was wearing running shoes and I was barefoot. Shamrock is 5'10 max.

Namely says on 1/Jan/09
I also think Rampage is not over 6'. I'm not trying to downgrade anyone, just analyzing photos and videos. For example, I have no doubt Lesnar is 6'3+.

mId says on 10/Dec/08
And I reckon you are right Halb.. I would'nt give rampage legit 6 feet. he was shorter than jimmy kimmel too. he did however have on converse-like shoes to that show. david duchovny who says he's 6 feet or a little over is taller than kimmel.

Rick Michael Bisping is a liar as well. Listed at 6'2'' everywhere but thats funny since Elvis Sinosic, a genuine 6'3/6'3.5 was towering over him for their fight. Bisping is like 6'0/6'0.5.

Clay says on 5/Sep/08
For Shamrock/Ortiz 3 they listed them both at 6'2'' on the website. Which was just laughable. Shamrock's 5'11''.

Rick says on 3/Sep/08
Also, in case anyone was wondering, the average height of an American male is 5'9", 5'4" for the average female.

Rick says on 3/Sep/08
Anyone that follows sports--any sport--knows that height is the biggest exaggeration there is. Weight is the only stat you can truly trust. The biggest liar about his height in MMA is Ken Shamrock. I've seen him listed as tall as 6'2", which is a joke. He's usually listed at 6'1" or 6' even. Anyone who saw him in his Pride fight against Don Frye in 2002 knows he's not that tall. They were both listed as 6'1" for that fight, but Shamrock was clearly 2" shorter. At least. And I doubt Frye was claiming he was shorter than he actually is. Shamrock is lucky if he tops 5'11". Tito Ortiz, whom I despise, is clearly a solid 6'2", and Liddell is a hair shorter, so I'd list him at 6'1 1/2". Only the fighters themselves know the truth, though.

Anonymous says on 27/Aug/08
mma fan:if a fighter says his own height that doesnt mean is true ( basic reasoning ) you seems to allways supposing heights based on what the fighter says which is most likely not true.
The only height i would believe in that case would be Koscheck which i heard he said hes 5.9 during an interview and just because that contradicts his 5.10 lsiting in the ufc page.
Of course chuck lidell is tall ,6.2 is on the money.

Chuck Liddell at 6'0'' suddenly turns Rampage to under 5'11''. Use your noggen Brad.

If you believe Glenn's 6' 2" figure you can join him in the rain with an 8x10 and a Sharpie and have a cup of coffee with him. He runs up everybody to make himself 5' 8" which is a dream of his. People judged Chuck & Glenn thinking Glenn was 5' 8" and wore sneakers. Guess again.

Brad: 6 foot for Chuck is a joke he is minimum 6'1'' and I think 6'2''. And yes, Sylvia is 6'6.5/6'7, he dwarfs Dana White. That video with Undertaker was deceiving Im sure Taker was in boots there.

it was not UFC promo, it was after the fight between matt hughes and shawn sherk for the welterweight title. Tim Siliva is 6'7. He has a bad posture and he usually walks with flipflop or normal sport shoes, compare to Taker who has that big boot. Frank Mir said 6'2 himself, Lesnar is probably 6'2.5

Alex2 says on 12/Aug/08
Well Tim Silcia surely aint 6'8" as Undertaker had 2-3" on him in a UFC promo, so Id say Silvias is 6'6" max, also Frank Mir is listed 6'3" but was shorter than 6'2" lesnar.

Brad says on 12/Aug/08
He was 5" taller than Glenn who was in his "Portman's" which had an extra in inch against Chuck making him 6'. Another reason why the site failed with Glenn: gigantic boots/no proof of height vs. Chuck.People used the photo as their guide for Chuck's height.

Doesnt UFC usually inflate by 2" on alot of people (Silvia etc)

If you were talking about WWE that statement might be true.

But the majority of UFC height listings are accurate. However in some cases there are going to be some discrepancies due to the fact that for some fighters they have to round up or round down to the nearest inch.

UFC treats mixed martial arts as a professional sport and it would not inflate heights deliberately. UFC fighters with heights inflated by 2” would be small minority.

Griffin is 6'3" if he said it.

Leung says on 5/Aug/08
With regards to Forrest Griffin, I was watching UFC 60 on DVD last night and Forrest is about an inch taller than Tito Ortiz who is a solid 6’2”. Forrest Griffin’s official listing of 6’3” is accurate.

mma fan says on 29/Jul/08
he said 6'4, 280lbs in the interview he had about a year ago

Leung says on 29/Jul/08
Anyone here know how tall referee John McCarthy is? To me he looks about 6’4”.

cantstop25 says on 27/Jul/08
id say titos got him beat by an inch

thekiddd says on 24/Jul/08
And Tito is Definitely 6'2".

Anonymous on 18/Jun <-look, height's important in life, but don't assume everyone is that much obsessed with height like you. If two guys are same height, one wears bigger footwear..? come on. YOU do, not everybody. You're fuming with anger, smoke coming out your nose, all this over some athlete's height. Forrest's slightly bigger than Chuck so he's around 6'3. Simple as that. Is he a hair under? Maybe. But who cares? He's a great fighter, came a long way, now LHW champ. Maybe question your own height you measured with your palm.

Leung says on 2/Jul/08
Chuck tends to have loose stance, but when he straightens up he will be looking down upon you from his 6’2” frame.

Anonymous says on 1/Jul/08
listen guys , if you are true mma followers you would know that the old organizarion PRIDE where these guys fought before listed shogun at 1.82 cm and IMO he looks the same height than rampage.
I think that rob is not far from the truth of chuck being 6-1.5 . in this photo he is face to face with tito and tito is 6.2
Click Here
he looks just a hair under titos height making him the height hes listed here.

Clay says on 28/Jun/08
Chuck being 6'1.5 is just a guess by Rob. He is likely a full 6'2'' when he stands straight.

Joe257 says on 27/Jun/08
Check this video at 1:08, Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson are barefoot. Chuck looks about 1.5" taller than Jackson. So if Chuck is 6'1.5" then Jackson must be 6'0" or 6'.5".
Click Here

Joe257 says on 27/Jun/08
If Chuck Liddell is 6'1.5" then how tall is Rampage? I remember Chuck looked an inch to an inch and a half taller than Rampage at the stare down on their second fight. Can Rampage be only 6 ft and exagerated to 6'1"?

Anonymous says on 18/Jun/08
Its nonsense that someone says that forrest griffin is 6.3 and then the same guy says that rampage is 6 ft , if forrest is 6.3 then rampage is 6.1 the only way that ramapge can fit with the 6ft is that forrest is shorter than 6.3 otherwise rampage is taller which has ben proved hes not.

Anonymous says on 18/Jun/08
Listen mma fan , if you are so "sure" that forrest is 6.3 then you should explain this:

This is forrest near Rich Franklin.
Click Here

Someone may say that rich franklin is 6.1 but here is the thing:

Rich franklin besides robert patrick:
Click Here

Robert Patrick is listed on this site at 5.11 1/2 ,and a lot of guys say he is a hair shorter than that ,and if you look at the top of patricks head is slighty over richs head.I doubt the guy is wearing lifts since he was never billed as a lift user on this site , hes not the type of actor that was spotted or has been known for wearing lifts.
So lets back to the franklin griffin photo . No way in hell forrest looks 6.3 in that photo.if whe give rich the advantage of doubt and put him at 6 ft maximun ,i can only see forrest at 1.87 cm tops. And casually , thats the height he was listed when he fought edson paredao ( search on youtube ) way back when he wasnt famous.
I did see however a pic where forrest looks slighty taller than Tito , but they are all dressed up , so chances are forrest is wearing bigger footwear thus making him look taller,which is totally possible when you got two people similiar in height and one wears bigger footwear can look near two inches taller with no problem...and he is closer to the lence ,making him look taller as well.

Anoymous says on 18/Jun/08
The photo of Rampage and Josh Barnett has an horrible angle , how can you judge an eight with that ? You have to be no genius to see the photo was taken from a low camera angle ,which makes everybody taller than they really are ,making more difficult to judge height .For example in that photo , if it would been taken at eye level ( the best angle to judge height ) would be clear that ramapges head is not reaching josh barnetts eyebrows , is lighty under. not "above".

Plus , josh barnett is not fully straight ,hes slouching to one side , making him shorter as well.If he would be with correct posture it would be a different story.

mId says on 18/Jun/08
did you notice in ninja's last fight he now too is a 6-footer :) and he has gone from 5'10 to 5'11 and now 6'. it seems they wanna make everyone over that magic number 6 :)

but things don't add up.. what I wanna know is how tall bob sapp really is.. because he was listed as 200 cm in pride and k-1. I know they wanted him to seem like a monster.. but on this site he is listed as roughly 6'4. he even said he was this himself I belive.

but he's taller than remy bonjaski (watch their fight) who is listed as 6,4 himself too (his website says 6'4(192cm) so rounded up that is 6'4 but remy is taller than aleksander emelinenko who is listed as 6'5-6 (remy with alex-->) Click Here

but some say Alex is about 6'3 in real life and still he was little taller than listed 6'3 barnett even when barnett had wrestling shoes on.. anyway.. when Alex stands next to shogun.. shogun looks like a little kid :/ Click Here (<--scroll down and to the right)

and next to remy bonjaski vernon tiger white looked like a kid too in their fight and Vernon is almost the same height as liddell.. liddell is one inch taller the most (judging from their fight).

so either the small guys are listed way higher than they really are by at least too inches or the bigger guys are listed too low. here is one pic with remy and fedor Click Here

And Matthiew, in the rampage barnett pick I posted.. I think if anything barnett is the one not standing strait. And yes mma-fan, I will be here discussing with you 'till you get tired of me ;D Anonymous.. glad to see another sceptic in here *lol* I posted the shogun/ninja youtube video earlier too :) and Adam.. nobody's saying otherwise ;) Sorry for typing so much /greetings from sweden.

adam says on 18/Jun/08
it doesnt matter about his height if someone wants to diss his height step in the ring with the guy coz he will snap you like a twig

thekiddd says on 17/Jun/08
is 187cm closer to 6'1 1/2 or 6'1 3/4"? I know it is cutting close corners but I think it is just a itty bitty margin closer to be considered 6'1 1/2".

Anonymous says on 17/Jun/08
Shogun cant be 6 ft , his brother ninja rua is listed everywhere at 1.80 and if you watch in youtube the instructional video of both , in where they are barefoot next to each other ,they are almost the same height , if he is 6 it would be noticeable specially if you are barefoot.You cant be based on watching a fight , on fights everybody looks 6 at least weird camera angles.

Mattiew_- says on 13/Jun/08
mId Page is slightly bent on this picture plus Josh has hairs .
Taking this into consideration and I can see them being 6' and 6'3 respectively .
Plus Page is taller than every other man on this pic so he musn't be that short .
He is sporting Timberlands though ( prolly soil advantage over Josh ... so it nullifies the fact that josh is straighter .

So 6' and 6'3 seems to be accurate . Chuck 187 and Rampage 183 also look good to me by looking at their staredown ...

thekiddd says on 11/Jun/08
Rampage is a solid 6, and Randy looks a legit 6'1" to me.

mma fan says on 10/Jun/08
mId, that's exactly 3 inch, top of rampage head is above josh's eyebrow, Josh is huge, mostly weighted around 250 during his career. good job mId, hope we can discuss more in this place. forrest griffin is 6'3 for sure, he was slighty taller than 6'2 tito. We can wait until ufc 86 to see more about rampage. I watched forrest and shogun again, I am convinced that shogun can be 6'(183cm)

Anonymous says on 9/Jun/08
Guys , if you want to know the fighters height more accurately , you should looking for their heights at PRIDE ,a lot of the famous ufc fighters today fought in pride and there they list the height in cm which is more accurate than in imperial and seems they never rounded up heights ,or at least not as much as the uf does.

Some fighters height:

Shogun Rua ,is 1.81 cm , this was his height listing back in the PRIDE days , you can look for videos in google or youtube also listed at 1.82 1 cm more or less thats his height .No way he is 6.1 because he was a lot smaller than forrest griffin in their staredown and forrest is 6.2

Murilo ninja Rua: is 1.80 , use him as a comparison to measure shoguns height , because the two are similar in height. Other reason to conclude that shogun is not 6.1.

Forrest Griffin , is 6.2 , that was his height listing when he fought edson paredao and when he wasnt famous , also he is shorter than bonnar who is listed at 6.3

Rampage is a lot shorter than forrest in the tuf and thats more than an inch for sure.

Click Here

So yes IClick Here
agree he is around the 6ft mark.
josh barnett doesnt look that tall ,may be he is 6.2 bacause in a fight he had agaist yuki kondo he wasnt more than 3 taller than yuki kondo which is listed everywhere at 5.11 or 1.81.

I want to discuss rich franklins height .he is listed at 6.1 but ive seens his old listings and he was billed at 5.11. also he is the same height of robert patrick. which is listed here at 182cm. in the staredonwn against lutter he looked 6 ft.supposing that lutter is 5.11. what do you think.

mId says on 7/Jun/08
rampage was listed as 6' in his first fight against marvin eastman.. and his old webpage said 183cm (6'). But I just wanna throw something out there, Click Here <-- josh barnett has always been listed as 6'3 (even on his own webpage).. I have a cousin who is 6'3 after midnight and I'm 6' after midnight and when we spar I don't see myself as short as rampage looks in this pic with josh barnett. You are the height-masters so I'm asking you.. is this what a 3 inch difference is suppose to look like? I don't wanna bring Rampage down.. I like him, but sometimes he just doesn't seem 6'. /greetings from sweden

mma fan says on 7/Jun/08
rampage is not less than 6'0, i just saw his fight with chuck again, 1.5 inch difference is max, Randy was in Toronto 2 weeks ago, a friend of mine who is a legit 6'0 took a pic with him, Randy was slighty taller, I would say 6'0.5 for Randy, 6'1 is possible

The 19th Truth says on 7/Jun/08
I've stood next to Rampage and I am a Legit 6'0 ..maybe a hair over barefoot.......In my shoes, I'm closer to 6'1.5....Rampage is taller than me in his shoes and he doesn't walk around in boots...The dude is not small and he has a bigass head :-)

Clay says on 6/Jun/08
Good work M1d. Rampage is somewhere between 5'11 - 6'0.25 we can conclude.

thekiddd says on 6/Jun/08
He's shorter than Tito but by how much is a good question?

mId says on 4/Jun/08
Click Here <-- yes, found the video from where the rampage/chuck weigh-in pic is taken from.. look Clay.. at the end it's as clear as day.. no pic-illusions :)

mma fan says on 3/Jun/08
In weigh in, fighter take off their clothes ans shoes, after they go for staredwon, what tito does put his shoes on right after he is done with scale, in that pic tito has his shoes on, probably something like nike shox, tito in only half inch taller than chuck bare foot

mId says on 3/Jun/08
Clay- Click Here <-- yes, found the clip from where this staredown is taken from.. in the end of the video you can see how they are standing and when they show the staredown at the end you can see what I said before.. rampage looks even shorter in the vid than in the pic from that view. I know it sounds weird.. but looking at pics and videos, plus listening a little to people who met rampage.. he seems as low as 180-181 sometimes. and if this is true then shogun's old listing of 182cm (just below 6') seems right. Me myself haven't met them so I'm just guessing. But I heard from people I trust and has picture-proof that shogun is about 6' /greets from sweden

Clay says on 3/Jun/08
What the **** is going on there Tito looks 2.5 inches taller than Chuck and Chuck looks 2 inches taller than Rampage? Surely Tito isnt 6'4'' and Rampage cant be as low as 5'11'' IMO. Goes to show how much of an illusion can be created by pics.

mId says on 1/Jun/08
Click Here
<-- there's a good staredown from the weigh-in.. both were barefeet and standing strait (saw the video.. but in the video rampage seems shorter than in the pic.. weird).

Click Here
<-- there's the silva weigh-in staredown.. not the best angle to pick or judge from.

Click Here
<-- and surely tito must wear shoes in this one.. he is taller.. but not by that much :/

and also.. this is weird. we all now that shogun is listed 3 inches higher than his brother ninja.. and in shoes (even though shogun and silva like their shox)shogun is taller.. but what is up with this.. are they not the exact same height in this clip?! --> Click Here //greets from sweden

mma fan says on 31/May/08
mID, thanks for the info
rampage can not be less than 6', I wish I had the staredown between him and chuck, chuck was about 1.5" taller than him, unless chuck is less than 6'1.5(do not think so),6'1 for bisbing is good,

mId says on 30/May/08
I just wanted to add something to my comment.. Mike Bisping is listed as 6'2 and rampage 6'1 in the UFC. A fan called out bisping and said he didn't belive he was 6'2 more like 6' (he did this on sherdog's ask the fighter's forum) Anyway.. bisping replied he just got back from the doctors office and he was measured at 6'1 there. Ok.. then you see this link.. Click Here Now.. is it just me or is bisping almost 2" taller than rampage (who is listed as 6'1 himself) in some of the pics there.. especially the last one? I really belive rampage is 5'11 //greets from sweden

mId says on 30/May/08
mma fan: IVC stands for International Vale Tudo Championships and was a fighting organisation from brazil in the old days. Being a mma-fan you have probably seen some fights from there online or something and just never caught the name. Wanderlei and pele from chutebox rose to fame there. Chuck Liddell even fought there once against Pele. As the name says it was Vale tudo(anything goes) rules with no gloves.. like the first UFC's but with a ring instead of a cage. And I think I was wrong about shogun fighting there.. and I'm to lazy right now to look it up. I'm sure about his listing but it was in a different org in brazil he fought when I saw the listed height 182.He could have grown a little maybe but he still is only like one cm taller than rampage.. and some who met him even say he's a 5'11(180cm)..his website says 183cm(6'), UFC lists him as 6'1(185-186cm))If the fighters really are a few inches shorter than listed why not be honest? I mean I understand that the UFC or whatever wanna make them seem bigger and scary'er or whatever, but it's not like anybody would mess with them anyway ;D oh, and I see you have wandy at 180cm on your list.. he said so himself too in a recent interview when talking about having trouble with liddell's reach. most people who have met him say he is about 5'10(178cm) I know one guy claimed he was 5'10 and said if anything wandy was just a little shorter so he said no way was 5'11 listing right acording to him. Still Silva is one of the best fighters out there. for me it's a tie between Sakuraba, Silva, Minotauro Noguiera and Fedor :) And thanks for your reply and sorry for typing so much :) //greets from sweden

sean says on 30/May/08
i met chuck liddell at a club here in san jose, ca a couple months ago and he definitely could be 6'2".....he seems a lot bigger and taller in person....stephan bonnar was also at the same event and he didnt look much taller than liddell

Mattiew_- says on 30/May/08
IVC is International Valetudo Championship

My estimations :

Wandy 179
Shogun 183
Rampage 184
Fedor 182
Saku 182
Randy Prime 185 nowadays 184 tops even maybe 183 .


By the way Liddell is supposed to walk around at 225-230
He looks pretty small musclewise on those pics Glenn , when was it ?

mma fan says on 30/May/08
mId what is IVC, never heard of it?
these are my estimation
wandy 180
sogun 185
rampage 183-184
fedor 182
saku 180
randy 184

Slaz says on 29/May/08
Never knew glenn has a ponytail before, lol
In the secound picture he doesn't look 187 cm, maybe because they were on stairs or something?

mId says on 29/May/08
wanderlei silva: listed as 178 cm in the old IVC days

shogun: listed as 182 cm in the old IVC days

rampage: 181 cm (shogun was about 1 cm taller than Quinton Jackson in their fight in pridefc.. also I know a guy from sweden who met rampage at a ufc event and he said rampage was about his height 181 cm, but I don't know if he measured morning or evening height).

Fedor: been listed as 182 in pride but the majority who met him (and has the pictures to prove it) says he's about 180 cm.

Sakuraba: here is where it gets weird.. he was listed in the beginning as 5'9.. his website and instructional tapes and from he's own mouth he is 180cm.. later on he was listed as 6' but this is a joke.. he is shorter than fedor even with shoes on and fedor barefoot. But he is shorter than Rampage and taller than wanderlei (I'm pretty sure.. even though silva slouches alot during the staredowns.

Randy Couture: when sparring with rampage he is a little taller. He was listed as 185 cm back in the day and this could be true then but I think he is 183-184 today.

Theese heights are just my guess.. you think you have it figured out but then you see fighter A: tall guy next to fighter B: short guy and the look the same height.. what gives?! :D anyway.. if anyone met them in real life it would be fun to know.. help me out :) greets from sweden

mId says on 29/May/08
I'm an mma-fan since forever and Crocop is 186 cm (6'1) if you belive him.. he said so in a published online chat recently where a fan asked him his exact height. been trying to figure out some fighter-heights and it is tricky because the listings are all over the place depending on what org they are fighting for and even in the same organization it differs from time to time.. also, they seem to add and inch or two to the fighters. even the fighters own websites have a different height-listing, and some of them seem odd.. Frank Mir 6'1.. come on now? I think he even said himself he was about 6'2 :/ anyway.. liddell was listed as 187 cm in the old days in IVC (I think it is about right even though I've heard people who met him say he is about 6 to 6-1. He is a little shorter than tito. some fighters are listed way to high.. but for the most part I think they add an inch. also.. I think the fighters list their own height.. I know a commentator(goldberg in ufc) said during an event.. Brandon vera lists HIMSELF as 6'3. anyway.. greets from sweden :)

mma fan says on 29/May/08
werdum is closer to the camera. werdum is around 6'4 1/2, I missed the straedown between couture and gonzaga, couture is 6'0 1/2. 6'2 for gonzaga makes sense, he was at least an inch taller than cro cop

So how much is Werdum in your book ? 6'6 ? 6'7 ?? And big Tim is 7 feet tall ?
Please stop overestimating ...

Ok Clay da troll

If Gonzaga is 6'3" please can explain me this because Werdum is 6'4


and this :

Click Here



I'm waiting for your explanation .

Also why was Gonzaga listed at 6'1 by UFC on UFC 80's website ???
Gonzaga is 187cm/6'1"1/2 that's why he is billed 6'1 or 6'2

Clay says on 19/May/08
Xander a lot of the time when they have those staredowns before the fight there is some funky camera angles going on. Hell I've seen Joe Rogan look within 2 inches of a 6'2'' guy.

xander says on 16/May/08
I disagree Clay, if you watch Liddell vs Ortiz 1/2, you will see some differences! Ortis is maybe 1 cm taller than liddell

Clay says on 14/May/08
Gonzaga is a legit 6'3'' he had Crocop by 2 inches in their staredown. Liddel and Ortiz I think are the exact same height at 6'1.5.

Nelssoni says on 30/Apr/08
Openeyes..just open your eyes man, glenn comes under his eyeline so he is atleast 5inc shorter

openeyes says on 28/Apr/08
..you'd think a 6 ft 1.5 in would tower over a 5"8 guy, but even when standing as straight as possible he only looks 4 inches taller than glenn... to me liddel looks 6 ft tops in these pics..

Anonymous says on 1/Mar/08
rampage jackson should be really short. he is listed at 6.1 but he was several inches shorter than lidell in the pre fight staredown ,and its funny because the ufc lists forrest at 6.3 and bonnar at the same height and when they are together bonnar is taller by 1 inch or more.

JJ says on 22/Feb/08
I've taken a picture with Randy before, in 11th grade, when I was 5'11" flat and we were the exact same height with me having tennis shoes (.75") and Randy in dress shoes (also .75"). Randy is definitely not above 6'.

mma fan says on 22/Feb/08
yes Dave, 6'6.5 is estimation for Sylvia.

Thats because the Undertaker is a legit 6'8''. Sylvia is 6'6.5 legit.

I met Dean Lister and Diego Sanchez out together at a bar in San Diego. Both were at least three inches under their listed heights of 6'1" and 5'11". I'm 5'10.5" and they were both noticeably shorter then me. Diego seemed like he might even be as small as 5'7". Regardless of height though Dean Lister has one of the biggest heads I've ever seen!

MMA Fan says on 1/Jan/08
Chuck Liddell looked substantially taller then Wanderlei Silva during the fight. Silva has been listed between 178cm - 182cm, but is typically listed at 180cm. What's interesting is that Silva was listed at 178cm during many of his early Vale Tudo fights when he was in his early 20s, and is still listed at 178cm on the official Pride FC website.

randy couture is obviously taller than 6'8 tim sylvia.

Cuca says on 31/Dec/07
they are all big guys. 1 cm more or less. The problem is that they are so big that perhaps a 6ft fighter looks less than that, but its only an ilussion. Look what happends when a girl enter the cage..

Height Detective says on 28/Dec/07
I saw a picture of chuck and silva in the pre fight press conference , in where both are facing off ,and they are the same height ,when in previous staredowns silva was looking up at lidell ,interestingly in all these pre fight press conferences ,when fighters are dressed up, they all look the same height .
Then in the weight ins for the fight and the staredown that day barefeet , one looks taller than the other ej. lidell -rampage , lidell -silva franklin -silva
Or they are given lifts for the pre fight press coneference , or one is ordered to wear sandals while the other boots .

Hey guys , any idea of Mike Swicks height ?

In the video shamrock is about three to 4 feet behind big show but show still has over a foot on him lol. Also the undertaker is looking really really tall against shane

dana white says on 17/Dec/07
ok time to clear up some misconceptions. liddell is rounded up to 6'2. cro cop is a solid 6'1. he was towered by gonzaga, who is really >6'3. mike tyson may have been 5'9 when he won the heavyweight championship at 20 years old. but when he was 24, he was officially measured before a fight on HBO. he was 5'10.5 barefoot. fedor looks talker than he is, but he really is only 6'.

Ace says on 12/Dec/07
Kinda random, but I'm pretty sure (if not positive) that Matt Hughes is struggling with 5'8". I recorded the Ultimate Fighter finale and when they awarded barefoot "5'8" Mac Danzig his prize, Matt hughes seemed barely an inch taller than Mac and he(Hughes) was wearing dress shoes.

Jason says on 9/Dec/07
I've always said Randy's 6'0''.

Yo, The Guy says on 8/Dec/07
Also, there's a pic going around of Wanderlei Silva/Couture at their gym which their nearly identicle in height! Seeing Randy corner Dan Henderson on TV, with Dan being 5'10 (what he was measured at against Frank Shamrock), Randy is either a short 6'0 or a solid 5'11 guy.

Yo, The Guy says on 8/Dec/07
It's hard to pick any heights in MMA. To the person who said Fedor was 6'0, if you look at pics with him and Tyson, and Tyson being 5'9-5'10, Fedor's got to be only 5'10-5'11. Mark Coleman is 6'0, and Cro Cop was originally listed as 6'1 but was towered by Gonzaga who might even be 6'3.

AAAA says on 1/Dec/07
He isn't as thick here as he looks on TV... Arms are more wiry than I expected

lol, great observation there vegas, this video shows a lot. In the video the undertaker with great posture is taller than jbl, i know that he wore lifts during this time, but he is tall er by 2 to 3 inches so outruling it he still is taller. And if you pause the video at 2:33 you really notice the height difference. NOW this is the ideal picture that is needed level picture etc. 6'7 would be around were the top of the metal is on the titaltron. This looks like a peak bigshow that may have actually been 7'0.5 to 7'1'

dave says on 25/Oct/07
Shamrock has the proportions of a 6 footer, so I think he has lost an inch in height since his youth and is now 5'11''.A strong 5'11'' I would say though.

Vegas, Big Show makes everyone look tiny...

Vegas says on 19/Oct/07
shamrock looks tiny beside big show here, hard to buy even 5'10 for him here Click Here of course big show is really just 6'7, lol

Alex says on 18/Oct/07
Shamrock back then when I was younger I thought was 6'0-6'1, but looking at him now, he's 5'10. He sure looks 220 something pounds at least.

dave says on 17/Oct/07
Alex, Shamrock always striked me as a 6 footer in wrestling but after looking at some more pictures - I think he really is only 5'11''. Ortiz towers over him in many of their staredowns. Serra is 5'6.5 - the shortest "elite" fighter is Sherk at 5'5.75 or 5'6 I think.

Dunken says on 16/Oct/07
Serra is 5'6. he was considerably shorter than 5'10ish GSP.

Rich Franklin is 6 ft or 5.11 1/2 ,here is a photo of him with Robert Patrick who is listed here at 182 cm , and both look the same height.I posted in the Robert Patricks thread time ago and it was earased , just can find it now.
Plus in the xcience and damagewear website he is listed at 5.11 ,and in early fights when he wasnt a star in the UFC they listed him in the tale of the tape at 5.11 or 6 ft just in their post Shamrock fights he began to be listed at 6.1 , plus in the Ultimate Fighter 2nd season when Rich was the coach he picked Rashad as his teammate , and rashad is around 5.11 and when they stood next to each other and Rich gave him the shirt of his team , they were the same height.
Ken Shamrock is listed in his oficial website at 5.11 205 lbs its stated in an article inside the website ,other UFC fighters heights:

Anderson Silva , probably is 6.1 1/2 since Okami is taller than him. Watch this photo.
Click Here
and this one
Click Here
That , or okami is taller .

Josh Koschek is 5.9 , he said it himself in the post fight interview after he fought against Jeff Joslin ,(available at the UFC website ) he said "it was a though fight ,a 5.9 guy vs a 6ft guy " pointing of course that he was the 5.9 guy.

Diego Sanchez ,is not 5.11 as he is listed he is listed at 5.8 in the xcience website and he looks it.

Forrest Griffin is 1.87 cm , as he was stated when he faced Edson Paredao when he wasnt famous ,then in the UFC he was upgraded to 6.3.

Albert says on 29/Sep/07
That first pic that ace posted shows Couture and Ortiz with Bobby Jackson who has been measured as 5'11 in nba pre-draft measurements. If the pics are barefoot then Couture looks 5'10 and Ortiz looks 6'-6'1.

Ace says on 17/Sep/07
Rich Franlin is barely 6ft. Anderson Silva had at the very least 2 inches on him, and he's suposed to be 6'2". I know that you can't always be certain on what ufc fighters heights are according to how their listed on the ufc, but you can use basic deductive reasoning to find out what they're not. Look at Matt hughes, He's listed as 5'9", but he's the exact same height as Frank Trigg who was listed at 5'8" for the longest time. Same thing with Randy and chuck, They were the same height (within .5 of an inch) when they fought. I literally watched the barefoot staredowns on my comp as I have their last two fights. Tito is 1 inch taller than coutoure, 1.25 at the most, I wached the staredown on my comp. Chuck appeared to be an inch shorter than Tito, Chuck's gotta 6'1". His tallest height possible is infact 6'1.5", but that is more unlikely than 6'1". download the fights and wacth the staredowns they're barefoot. Hes the same height as Randy.

Anonymous says on 17/Sep/07
Okami looks bigger than 6'2 though. He gives the impression of what a guy who is 6'2 in shoes would look. I think he's about 6'2.5 or almost 6'3.

A lot of the fighters are listed with in-shoes height though (+1-1.5 inches) which makes no sense given they obviously don't fight with their shoes on! Rich Franklin looked barely 6' next to Okami. Mike Swick looked about 5'11.

mma guy says on 14/Sep/07
I met Tito once since I did a little muay thai and he was there along with Ken Shamrock. Tito is one of the few that is not exagerated. He's 6'3" but Shamrock seemed closer to 5'11" or maybe he had bad posture. I see Randy Couture about the same as Shamrock.

mma fan says on 9/Sep/07
I used to think cro cop was 6'1.5, but now I am convinced he is 6'1. Randy should be 6'0.5

Dunken says on 9/Sep/07
Crocop is around 6'1.

Zlatan says on 8/Sep/07
Does anyone know how tall is Mirko Cro Cop?

Art says on 28/Aug/07
Cotoure has pretty crappy posture though, I'm pretty sure he's no less than 6-1 when standing straight.

Jason says on 27/Aug/07
Couture was about an inch shorter than a 6-1 listed NBA player in a pic I posted here a long time ago.

dave says on 27/Aug/07
Tito has stated he is 6'3'' so he is at leasat 6'2'', and he looks all of it. Yeah...Ortiz is 6'0'' Alex.

Ace says on 26/Aug/07
Tito is 6'2", and is slightly taller than both Chuck and Randy who are the same height. Randy Couture is 6'1", hes one inch shorter than Tito, and about an inch shorter than gonzaga. You can see this on his fight versus Tito (UFC 44), and his fight vs Gonzaga (UFC 74). I have both fights on my comp. Check this out:

That and the fact iv'e have yet to see see chuck appear taller than Tito. Although Tito has appeared taller than both Chuck and Randy on different occassions.

dave says on 24/Aug/07
Tito had .5 or .75 of an inch on Chcuk in their barefoot staredown. Tito has stated he is 6'3'' as well which stretched out he may very well be. People trying to downgrade everyone just make me laugh. Shamrock 5'10...Tito 6'1, Stallone 5'7''. Give me a break.

mma fan says on 24/Aug/07
chuck and tito are the same height, tito wants to show he is taller all the time, that's why at weigh-in right after he goes on scale, he puts on his shoes and wait for his opponent to come without shoes on standing face to face and take a picture, that's the picture you guys saw which shows that tito is 1.5 inch taller than chuck, in fact both of them are 6'2

Jason says on 23/Aug/07
Never seen him face off with Liddel, but that's how he's looked before.

dave says on 22/Aug/07
Hahaha Ortiz 6'1'' flat? Ortiz is slightly taller than Liddel...who flat out towers over 5'8'' Glenn as we see.

Jason says on 22/Aug/07
Shamrock was no heavier in his wrestling days than pre-wrestling in the UFC. He checked in at 215-220 back in the day. I would say Ortiz is actually no more than 6'1'' flat ... they very frequently exaggerate height in MMA, also.

dave says on 22/Aug/07
Well Ortiz is a legit 6'2'' (probably a little over) and he has 2.5/3 inches MAX on Shamrock.

Jason says on 22/Aug/07
dave says on 21/Aug/07
''Alex - Shamrock is just a smidge under 6'0''. The guy was nearly 240 pounds in his wrestling days, and with a ripped physique. It would be impossible for a 5'10'' guy to be that. Stop trying to downgrade everyone.''



Alex is right. It's because the announced weights are a work, not because Shamrock is nudging 6'0''.

Albi says on 15/Aug/07
CroCop is obviously 6'1, but that -1cm on Liddell I cannot understand. Rob has this bad habit of cutting 1cm out of a lot of people's heights which isn't good for his credibility. If Glenn says 6'2, then maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave it at 6'2. Against Ortiz he looked same height. Against Jackson he also looked the same because he would duck a lot, but when he stretched out he was clearly taller. He may very well be 187, its just that without a good proof this downgrade seems biased.

Bob says on 26/Jul/07
Have you always had long hair glenn?

J-Dog says on 25/Jul/07
Tito is listed at 6'2" but the weird thing is during a UFC All Access he says he is 6'3".

MD says on 22/Jul/07
Alex,

It's funny how much they overlist these guys, huh? I've seen Shamrock listed from 5'11" to 6'1", but most of the time the latter. lol

Shamrock Fan says on 22/Jul/07
Hi Alex,

If you check out Ken Shamrock's own homepage his height is 5'11". I believe this is accurate.

Alex says on 20/Jul/07
Tito Ortiz was no more than 6'0 compared to 5'10 Ken Shamrock.

Ace says on 18/Jul/07
Tito is about an inch taller than Chuck. Randy, whos definitly 6'1" (pros vs. joes and after seeing the majority of his fights) and chuck are both the same height. Chuck is closer to 6'1" if anything. He looks 6'1" with Glenn. I do realize that i am talking about a half of an inch just in case any of u think i am crazy.

Chris says on 16/Jul/07
well, It's difficult for professional models and athletes to lie about their heights. As for UFC, just look at their weigh-ins before fights. You can only go over 1~2lb(s), and if any more than that, you need to cut weights like right away. I watched Liddell VS Jackson II(whose billed height is 6'1), and he DOES have about an inch or two over him. besides, 6'2 is 188cm, how can you tell that 1cm difference? I'd say he's a legit 6'2. oh, and I'm sure Mccarthy is over 6'2, because Tito Ortiz is a huge(big-boned) 6'2 and Mccarthy still towers over him.(like 3 inches) anyway, Chuck is 6'2.

mma fan says on 9/Jul/07
vow, there is another MMA fan, but I am the original one, looooool, kidding. Ian BJM looks around 6'3 to me.J-Dog list the fighters that you wanna talk about, then we discuss about their height.

Eclipse says on 1/Jul/07
Rob- why the 1/2 inch downgrade?

mmafan says on 29/Jun/07
chuck liddell is about 6'1. I am 5'9 and have stood beside him several times.

Da Man says on 28/Jun/07
Was he drunk here? You should check out the infamous drunk Liddell interview on youtube!

glenn says on 28/Jun/07
thanks kingknick! its always good to hear.

J-Dog says on 28/Jun/07
MMA Fan we should do a list of MMA fighter's true heights.

KingNick says on 27/Jun/07
Glenn, I know you've heard this a ton of times, but that is clearly the best picture on the site, awesome!!

glenn says on 27/Jun/07
ufc fan cant comprehend gauging like that.he is slow.show pity on those less fortunate.

Jordan says on 27/Jun/07
UFC Fan, How the hell can you say Glenn is 5'6. If that is the case Liddell is only 5'11.5. Stop arguing against yourself b/c your saying chuck is 6'2 which would put Glenn at 5'8 or 5'9.

Anthony says on 26/Jun/07
Glenn is 5'8. Why must this always be debated.

Tony says on 26/Jun/07
lol good pic glenn not taking sh!t from nobody,but he can make you sleep in a sec.

glenn says on 25/Jun/07
smarter than me? oh your so,so,right.how many photos do you have with celebs? ever met anyone besides your landlord?

ufc fan says on 25/Jun/07
smarter than you I'm at least I'm not a liar like you

Josh says on 25/Jun/07
6'1 the most.

venus says on 24/Jun/07
His height is quite tricky, he wears thick sole boots. I believe he's 6'1.5.
