There's a video on youtube of him with Alex Jones who's 5'10", Joe looked about 2 inches shorter.
=============================================================
There's no effing way Alex jones is 5'10. Alex is 5'7 at best.

oh no he is not this tall. i saw him in vegas a couple years back and his entourage TOWERED over him. and his entourage was standing evenly with the rest of the crowd. I'd give him 5 6 at the most
Ever seen him doing a UFC interview right after a fight? Joe is in shoes while the fighters are barefoot but he holds his own against guys 6'0-6'1. He is 5'8''.
Again...5'8'' with his type of build comes off a short - whats hard to understand here. Doug says on 1/Jun/10

Being tall is "automatically" manly? I have lots of friends 6'+ who are the biggest wimps you've ever seen.....also I've had 6'+ guys call the cops on me (yes!) because in a confrontation i've snarled at them or whatever.
I don't buy the theory that having longer limbs "automatically" makes you "manly"! lol
BTW I am 5'6.5! Anonymous says on 12/Apr/10
Dont think he looks 5'7.5 more like 5'8 no less, not more either. Look at hi next to UFC fighters, he looks about the same height or a little taller as guys who are 5'9" but obviously he is wearing trainers. still the makes him 5'8
And yeah, 5'10 is def not short. So many celebs clai 5'10" are 5'8 or so, but legit 5'10 is a solid average maybe a tad bit over. Agree, that 5'9 can look on the shorter side of average but it is still average too. Unless your in Holland 5'10.5 is average/tall Traiter says on 10/Apr/10
CD, I'm 5'10 and I feel average. I don't think I'm short. You should measure your if you're skeptical because 5'10 is not short. TRUTH says on 9/Apr/10
I was saying that Paq is around 5'6 and that FMJ (Floyd Mayweather Jr) is around 5'7 - which they are.
Maybe you should think about the point of my post, rather than simply trying to put others down. What you say only proves my point further anyway, cuz I'd rather get in a ring with nearly ANYONE other than Pac! anonymous says on 9/Apr/10
Did this Guy truth really put paquiao at 5'6/5'7" ahahahahah maybe you should change your name. He was boxing at 115lbs in the Philippines in their "super feather weight" which is probably average for a grown Filipino man lol. He was 4 to 5 inches shorter then 5'10" "golden boy" he MIGHT tip the scale at 5'5.5" CD says on 7/Apr/10
I'm 5'10.5 and to tell the truth I feel short when I walk around. I don't think I'm less of a man but it's the nature of the beast I'm short. When some people look down at someone else they could think there better. CD says on 7/Apr/10

@6'1 Height equals 'manliness'?
Best Footballer on Earth - Lionel Messi - 5'6
Best Boxer on Earth Pacquiao/FMJ - 5'6/5'7
Best footballers of all time Maradona - 5'5 and Pele 5'8
'Toughest' actor of all time - Bruce Lee - 5'8
These are activities intrinsically linked with 'manliness', and yet it seems as though perhaps your theory works in reverse!
Anybody that walks around thinking their height has anything to do with their actual identity is extremely limited. And anyone who thinks they're tougher, stronger, more physically capable due to their own height (or lack of it) is in for a rude awakening when they get out into the real world, my friend!
Height has nothing to do with power, intellect, penis size, aggression, cardiovascular fitness, health at all! PB says on 20/Mar/10
@6'1 yeah being 6'1 and 160lbs doesn't mean squat. And no I do not have a complex. I'm 6'0 flat in the evening. I think more than anything you have a complex, Seeing as how you equate height to manliness. Kirk says on 19/Mar/10
m1d, late response, but would you call Georges St Pierre short? Even if he 5'8? Givve says on 19/Mar/10
5'7.5 sounds about right
My dads peak height used to be 5'9.5, but now I give him 5'8.5 at best. 6'1 says on 17/Mar/10
@PB, those short "manly" guys have to constantly eat and workout to maintain their manliness, being tall is manly and you don't have to do anything to maintain. And, you definitely have a height complex PB PB says on 4/Mar/10
lol@mId and the others who moan about height. In real life people could care less about a few inch difference. It doesn't matter if you are 6'5 if you look like a concentration camp victim. I know a lot of guys who are that tall and are quite frankly all bone. They cannot even wear tshirts because their arms are just too skinny. I know most short guys at my gym who could break most people in half and look way more manlier. Oh and I'm 6' by the way, just in case you accuse me of having a complex. Anonymous says on 3/Mar/10
Cro Crop probably just measured his height and got 186cm, He is likely in range of 185-187 but ufc rounds him at 6'2-188, It is not him who does it, It is the ufc, they also have Shane Carwin at 6'5 which is silly, They asked carwin himself and he said he is barely 6'2, which means he is a solid 6'1 maybe, weak 6'2- 186-188. supes78 says on 27/Feb/10
I just met him yesterday after his comedy show here in town. I was surprised that he wasn't as short as I'd been led to believe. I'm 5'9 and he was almost at eye level with me, and we were both wearing sneakers. I put him at 5'8. Clay says on 26/Feb/10
I've made no bones about it Im short at 5'9. mId says on 26/Feb/10
crocop is always listed 188 but he has said himself in an interview that he was exactly 186 cm.. now.. if this was in the morning, evening or with shoes on I don't know.. but I think it's safe to say that crocop is about 184-185 cm. fedor is about 5'10.5 - 5'11 Anonymous says on 22/Feb/10
He looked like 3-4 cm shorter than Crocop - with his shoes on, who knows what kind of shoes. Can't remember how tall Crocop is compared to Fedor, but I have a pic with Fedor and Igor, and the shortest height that was given to Igor during Pride fights was 173 cm, and Fedor was about 5 cm taller, so about 178 cm. I remembered Crocop being like 185 cm, but obviously he's shorter then. Still I'm ready to believe that 5 7 1/2 (aka 171,45 cm) for Rogan, unless he used some kind of lifts.
Most people are actually shorter than they thought themselves. (Not to mention claimed) There was a doc where extreme tall people were measured, and they were often told to be several inches less than they thought.
So, if Joe had 1,5" heels, Crocop was only 179 cm max. Cant believe that. Maybe Joe had some kind of early 70's glam rock boots? (My guess is Joe is really 5 8.5 like he said, but those heights, even if accurately measured, can be from one's youth and measured in the morning. Also some people stand more crouched than others) txs says on 18/Feb/10
i agree with mld, i felt short at 5'10.5" but now at age 50 i'am 5'8" and i feel real short. at parties or family gatherings i'am the shortest person their, even my 13 to 16 year old neices are taller.my wife is 40 and she is 5'9". mId says on 16/Feb/10
then I should be called tall here.. I'm not. I'm average. 5'10 here is the lower end of average I would say.. if you are under 5'10 you are always looked at as short. Like if someone describes you to another.. I know one guy who is 5'8 and he is seen as VERY short. that's the way it is.. don't matter if the average would be 5'10.. people still consider it short. it just means there are alot of short people then :) Kirk says on 15/Feb/10
Yeah, m1d, the average in your country is 5'10. Looked it up and most of the guys are that height mId says on 14/Feb/10
5'9 is not average here in sweden anyway.. it's short for a man. I think we have a average of 5'11 here.. maybe even 6' today. and I know my height.. I'm 6'1 morning.. 6' before bed.. and that is with normal posture. (no attention-posture) measured myself, by doctor and laser.. in the army I was even measured 184 in the evening/night. txs says on 13/Feb/10
does anyone know if shrinking 2 1/2" is normal. i was 5 10 1/2 in my 20's and 5'8" now that i'am 50. my wife is 5'9", her height has not changed. she's 10 years younger. Kirk says on 12/Feb/10
No it's not, m1d, 5'9 is the average for guys since that's was measured in most guys. Maybe you're not your height because you assume and not actually measured. I honestly thought I was 6'2-6'3 until I was measured at the doctor's. txs says on 11/Feb/10
i was 5'10.5" in my 20's but at 50 i'am only 5'8" is that normal. mId says on 10/Feb/10
well my friends who are 5'10 considers themselves short and jokes about it.. and like I said I'm short at 6'.. as I explained average does not really exist here anymore.. we just say 185 cm is tall.. under short. I mean I guess you could say 5'11-6' is average but then 5'10 is still on the shorter side.. and couture is not 6'2.. more like 5'11.. about the same as coleman.. shogun was taller than coleman and he's been listed as 182 for years. shogun is about 6' damien maia listed 6'1 (184cm in a fight in poland) is atleast 1" taller than shogun.. so don't really bother with the listed height.. all fighters add 1-2 inches.. and even more in some cases.. like listed 6'5 shane carwin.. he says himself he is 6'2.. but he dows not even look like it.. some people even say he is 6' but I can give him 6'1. Kirk says on 7/Feb/10
I met Georges St. Pierre at a autograph signing in Las Vegas and he is significantly shorter than me, like 5'8"-5'9". Does he look short to you, m1d?!? I'm 6'1 and from far away I swore he was being humble with his height as he is listed as 5'10 but he looked taller from far away. Then as the person in front of me took a picture with him standing up, I saw the top of his head as the same height as my chin. And I'm 6'1. I honestly thought he was as tall as me. It's the body composition, not how much they weigh if that's what you're trying to say. Anonymous says on 7/Feb/10
IDK if this is true, hes standing next to Couture after this fight, and looks about the same height as Couture who is 6;2 Anonymous says on 5/Feb/10
mId, I agree that "tall" doesn´t start until 6´1" but I don´t understand the way you think. +6´1" is automatically tall while under 6´1" is immediately short? Haven´t you heard of thing called average? Also saying that somebody looks like a boys just because they´re not tall is really insulting. Doesn´t their face, body type among other physical characteristics mean anything? Is it really only because of their height? Anyway who says stuff like that about their friends. Also, I admit that I haven´t read all your posts, but you seem to be writing from the perspective of some sports in which the norm is to be well above average in height. Like for instance, of course a 6´0" basketball player is gonna look short, no ****! In the "normal" world he most definitely won´t be that. mId says on 26/Jan/10
Jackanapes.. no you would consider him average.. just like you would consider me average.. unless you are one of those guys who think tall starts at 6'.. I can see after reading what I wrote again that it was put wrong.. and you are right.. it didn't make any sense.. I meant I should be average to 6+ guys. but at the same time I was having another discussion about how here in sweden younger guys don't use a gray area.. it's just tall or short. so basicly 185 + is tall and under short. but how I would call it is 178 - 183 is around pretty average. under short.. over tall.. I used to say 178 is short but this weekend changed my mind.. friends of mine who are 178 for some reason looked much nearer in height to me than before.. in the past I thought they looked so small next to me. I still see them as on the shorter side but not as much as before. In sport terms they are still a little short but I guess I can bump them up to shorter side of average. but anyway you slice it.. 5'8 is still short. he'll I think I'm short sometimes. I too think 185 is tall under looks short really. it depends on the situation I guess.. I can feel tall sometimes and other times short.. but that's what it feels to be average ;) Jackanapes says on 25/Jan/10
@ mId
"just because I can go and find many shorter than me does not make me tall. I can go find many 6+ to remind me that I am not tall.. to them I am not "average".. I am just short. just like 5'8 would be to a average guy at 5'11."
You're basically saying anyone shorter than you or anybody else is defined as being short to them. That's incorrect. I'm 6'1 but if I know a guy who is 5'11 I don't consider him to be short. mId says on 21/Jan/10
LOL@ mId "my 5'10 friends don't even look like fullgrown men.. they look like boys."
i'm a tall 5'10" and would be more than happy to hear you say that to my face. i believe i would teach you what being a man is all about. it's easy trying to bait people over the internet, i can only hope you're as honest with your comments in person. i'm sure in sweden there would be an equal teacher.
----------------------
Well.. first of all.. you can't be a tall anything at 5'10. you are not even 180cm.. hell' I'm 6' and I ain't tall.. second.. Why would I be afraid to speak my mind to you in person? because I think that a guy like george saint pierre at 5'10 look more than a teenager than let's say randy couture or quinton jackson, you are going to kick my ass? I've been into martial arts a pretty long time and vale tudo a good 15 years so I hope I would be able to atleast survive against you. I'm no tough guy by any means.. so you could probably take me (why be the internet tough guy).. but are you that unsure of yourself because of your height that you have to kick every taller mans ass just because they have a different opinion than you? you have alot of asskicking to do then ;) I mean.. it's not like I heckled you on the street.. this is a forum for height-discussion. and you can be a man at 5'3.. that's not the point.. the point was that to me my 5'10 friends look like boys/teenagers and not grown men. and I stand by that comment. you are not one of my friends so why are you offended? I'm 6' and I feel the same way.. that I'm going to be trapped in this teenager body my whole life ;) I think 185cm is the ideal height for a man.. over is bonus and under is just.. well.. not quite finished growing to what I would say a fullgrown man's height should be. but hey.. that's just me. and If you still wanna kick my ass because of my opinion.. well, then I guess you have to try my good sir :) but even if you kick my ass.. nothings changed.. you're still shorter than me ;) dlm says on 17/Jan/10
@drk
um yes, under 5'10" is considered short if you are a white male. i have no height complexity and i very often feel kinda short (and i'm a short 5'11"). in different regions in North America I can feel a bit tall, others very short. on average, nothing more than regular average.
unless you are beyond normal range, height really only matters when combined with a number of other factors. if you are short and it bothers you, dedicate yourself at being above average in those other factors and you won't ever think twice about your height.
if you can't do that, chose one that you have control over and matters more in pursuits of successs.
if you can't do any of the above...smile, life is still beautiful and will be over before you know it anyways.

yeah.. I have a cousin at 6'4-5. another one at 6'3.. his brother and my rother are both 6'1.. ny dad is 6'0.5.. this is all before bed heights.. so at 5'9 here in sweden you will feel and look short.. no doubt. like I said.. when I go down to 6' before bed I feel and look short. I can't belive feeling average and not short at 5'9. Daniel_Sweden says on 22/Dec/09
the average height for men (24 - 34 years) in sweden is 180cm (5'11) only the dutchman and the danish people are taller than the swedes..and that is a fact..
my cousin is a legit 190cm (6'3) and he is pretty tall..an example of a big height difference is Stallone 5'8.5 - 5'9 (174-175cm) vs Hogan 6'5.5 (197cm) as Thunderlips in rocky 3 mId says on 22/Dec/09
well.. I guess people see it differently in America then.. like I said.. here we just say 185 is tall.. under is short.. the older generation. 50+ can say average build of 180cm sometimes. but the younger generation just looks at 180 as short. In k-1 (kickboxing) matches here.. the commentators will say stuff like.. at 183cm he's is really to short for this sport.. no joke. seems 6'1 is the new limit for being competitive. it's like when fighter Anderson Silva from brazil at 6'1-6'2 calls matt hughes at 5-8-5'9 a dwarf. I mean.. it's the way we see it. a guy like tyson griffin, matt serra or sean sherk.. they are almost legit dwarfs in our mind. some laugh when they fight.. and feel sorry for them.. people comment like.. nahw..they can't reach the other one.. it's not fair.. it's like midget-wrestling. good guys but they are crazy short in most peoples minds. JoeyJ says on 21/Dec/09
mId i have no idea what your talking about....6'0 is considered "short" in the NBA because the average player's height is about 6'6 so your comments would make sense regarding players in the NBA (but theyre mostly the tallest people in the entire world), but compared to the overall population of the world your comments are just flat out wrong mId says on 20/Dec/09
Joey: well if you are 6'1 before bed you are indeed tall.. you are not as tall as your friend but you are still tall.. and the same goes for a 5'3 man or a 5'10.. they are still both short.. I would say 5'11-6' is pretty average heights.. under that is the start of short.. definetly under 5'10 is short. especially here in sweden. I'm about 6' before bed.. about 6'1 in the morning and nobody here calls me tall.. I'm infact gonna hear short more often than not here because it seems we don't have "average" here.. even though I belive we have a average of about 5'11-6' people just see it as 185 is tall.. under is short. my brother who is 6'1 before bed sees me as a shrimp even though it's just 1 inch difference at most. still everybody calls him tall and see me as short or say stuff like -your not that tall.. I hear it all the time from relatives and such. so when people like max says 5'8 isn't short.. c'mon.. 5'8-9' is really little here and would be called short.. because it is. if 6' ain't tall here then certainly 4 inches shorter ain't average.. it's short. and I don't think it's that different in America.. look at all your tall sport-stars.. and.. I mean I've heard Americans call 5'7-8 people hobbits. but hey.. everybody sees things differently.. while 5'8 to me is short it's not to max.. so who's to say it is or isn't short. Kirk says on 19/Dec/09
Yes, "mId", because you know the whole country averages my height which is 6'1. You've got to know that not everybody except 30% of the US is over 6 feet tall. I don't understand how anything below 6 feet tall is short to you? Do you live in Holland 2.0? JoeyJ says on 17/Dec/09
to mId, im 6'1 and my friend whose 6'7 considers me tall....he knows that he is extremely tall so he doesnt compare peoples' height to his...to him the average person is still 5'10 so anything over that, esp over 6'0 is considered tall even though its not compared to him JoeyJ says on 17/Dec/09
on the ufc after fight interviews i saw him interview two fighters that were both listed as 5'10 and he was exactly the same height as both of them...obviously he was wearing dress shoes so id say hes between 5'8-9' mId says on 13/Dec/09
max.. it's still short. infact.. anything under 6'1 looks short to me. my 5'10 friends don't even look like fullgrown men.. they look like boys. 5'11(180cm) is average height. over that is tall.. under is short.. but even when I go down to 6' at night.. I feel and look short. just because I can go and find many shorter than me does not make me tall. I can go find many 6+ to remind me that I am not tall.. to them I am not "average".. I am just short. just like 5'8 would be to a average guy at 5'11. christ.. I know one guy who is 5'8 and we look at him as he is 5'4.. I doubt I even seen a fullgrown man lower than 5'8 in my life exept one or two little persons. it's nothing bad or that you are less of a man if you are under 5'11.. it's just that you are shorter than the average height wich make you short. max says on 12/Dec/09
for ****s sake 5'8 isn't "short", stop saying he's short. 5'8 is well within average height range and is a very normal height. "Short" is anything under 5'7, because standard height deviation is 5'7-6'1 for adult white males. mId says on 6/Dec/09
Clay: if everybody knew that you shrink up to 1" and it was common to measure in the morning (just like it is with weight) then I would have no problem claiming 6'1. this is not the case now though and people measure at different stages during the day.. and if I take my lowest then atleast I will never "add" height. thing is.. there is a limit as to how low you can go.. it's not like you keep shrinking.. you shrink one 1" tops. I can see both arguments when it comes to true height.. but for me.. I feel better claiming what I am at my lowest (because I can be at my lowest very fast if I lift heavy things or something directly in the morning) so I will never be measured under what I claim.. and the extra height is just water in the discs before it gets squished out during the day (simplyfying it).. so I consider this bonus-height. so it makes perfect sense to me that we should take evening height. I don't even like when people stand in like "attention" when they measure. it's ok to straighten out.. but some people do it just to get taller than they are in a everyday standing situation. but hey, that's just me.. I don't like to cheat myself :) see.. another problem with this is.. my brother is 1" taller than me.. and for some reason.. he don't shrink during the day.. he is maybe a little taller in the morning. in the evening we are one inch apart.. should I really claim we are the same height just because we are the same height in the morning? because as the day goes on the difference between us is getting more and more evident. Kirk says on 6/Dec/09
Joe probably wears lifts so no ones know his real height to be fair. That's why he probably looks short one day and tall the next. I saw him one time on TMZ being interviewed and he was as tall as the two girls he was with. Now three things could be possible. One the girls are average height and he's short. Two, the girls are tall and he is his listed height. Three, the girls are wearing heel and so he looks short. Clay says on 28/Nov/09
Once again mId is evening height legit height to you. The day has 24 hours. Evening is not even 1/3 of the day. mId says on 22/Nov/09

Saw Rogan in person during a UFC fight. He is at least 5'8 no questions, could pass for 5'9 or 10. He is also pretty big for his height probably 180 lbs at least. Wouldn't mess with the guy either he knows how to fight. |
