Clay: yet he is the same height or even taller than rampage when they spar and train together.. hmm? funny.. I could be wrong but I thought you and the others here were saying I was crazy thinking both rampage and couture are under 6'.. and you were like.. no.. they are 6'-6'0.5" and never go under it. don't tell me you have had a chance of heart and joining me over here at the dark side? :)
Leung says on 19/Nov/09
Clay,
I am a little shocked at your Couture estimate because you are usually quite accurate with your MMA heights, but 179-180 cm is off the mark considerably. I believe 183 cm is spot on for Couture. Clay says on 19/Nov/09
I've been calling BS on Couture's height for a while now. 6'1'' is impossible to believe and the fact UFC lists him 6'2'' is laughable when he's towered by guys like Lesnar and Vera. Does look 179-180 CM. mId says on 18/Nov/09
Ian.. what? patients?.. how do you know his height? now.. I've been here arguing for a long time that randy ain't a full 6' but under 5'11 even I have a little problem seeing that?. granted.. 180 is under 5'11 so anything is possible. but please.. elaberate. vlquince says on 17/Nov/09
I think a lot of athletes either lie about their height or their PR person tells the public something different. I think Randy is either 5' 11" or 6 even. No way is he 6' 2". If you look at the stare down in the middle of the ring, Brandon Vera was at least 3 or 4 inches taller than Randy (providing Vera is 6' 3"). Ian says on 16/Nov/09
Randy Couture is a little under 5'11"ft tall. He is one of our patients here in las vegas. Yaspaa says on 16/Nov/09
Prime 6'0 - now 182.5 Martin says on 16/Nov/09
Randy can be 6'0 because Brandon Vera who is 6'3 towers over him. mma fan says on 15/Oct/09
Randy is in 5'11.5 to 6 range(182 to 183cm), nothing more or less, there are tones os pictures of Randy and GSP on ultimate fighter reality show Matthiew_- says on 15/Oct/09
Seems pretty accurate to me Couture is a 185cm prime and 183 to 184 ( straight ) ,nowadays ...
I would also like for a Fedor page to be opened because the guy is an enigma , he can look small with shoes on , but he wears almost always flats and has bad posture ...
There are reports of people that met him , about him being 5'10 but I find it hard to believe ...
What is funny is that he often doesn't appears that small inside the ring , next to let's say , Tim , Big John McCarthy (6'4 + shoes ) , Cro Cop ( 186 cm ),
and numerous countless other examples...
He looks to be a legit 181/182cm guy barefeet ...
He is billed 5'11.5 (182cm) on his own website .
Damn I wish I'd met him , because I've got troubles seeing anything under 5'11.
180cm seems to be the aboslute minimum I can see him . Anonymous says on 14/Oct/09
Randy towered over 5'10" GSP. Anonymous says on 23/Sep/09
I've actually met Randy and taken a picture with him when he came to my home-town for autograph signing. This was in my junior year of high school (2006). We had similar footwear. He had boot-type shoes on and I had Nike Shox. I was the same height or possibly a little taller than him, but not more than 1/2 inch. And I was 5'11.75" back then. Joelle says on 19/Sep/09
Can a page for Fedor be opened? Electric says on 6/Sep/09
I'd say Randy's about 5'11". Mike says on 5/Sep/09
I met the guy @ a gym opening on Long Island. The dude is short. 5' 10" to 5'11". I'm 6'1" and I towered over him. Don't get me wrong the guy is THE MAN!! He's just not 6' 2"...NO WAY. mId says on 3/Sep/09
kori: because ufc overlists their fighters with as much as 3 inches sometimes. randy is 6 tops. theese days maybe even 5'11. kori says on 2/Sep/09
in ufc hes listed 6'2 how can he listed here at 6 Leung says on 31/Aug/09
That was a great fight. Randy looked 6'. Chris says on 30/Aug/09
Randy was several inches shorter than Antonio Nogueira last night (who is billed at 6' 3") I think he is 5' 11" these days. Anonymous says on 30/Aug/09
Randy is MAYBE 6ft but certainly no taller....when he stands next to Joe Rogan, who is 5ft 7 or 5ft 8 they look the same!!!! mId says on 13/Aug/09

randy couture sparring with 5'8 frank trigg.. I know the 6'2 listing is a joke.. but how tall do you think randy is? I don't even think he is 6' today. Yaspaa says on 25/Jul/09
he hasn't lost any height,he was just never 6'1. McLovin says on 15/Jul/09
He is constantly listed in UFC at 6'2" Clay says on 15/Jul/09
I dont get this stance that Lesnar cant be over 6'2 either. Yes, listed that by the NFL....but they will also downgrade by a half inch as well. Clay says on 15/Jul/09

ed
Brock less than 6'2.5 is very unlikely, Randy is 5'11.5-6'0 nowadays, he has lost about an inch in the last few years ed says on 10/Jul/09
it's imposible that randy couture is six feet tall... if you see the fight against lesnar ( 6 ft 2) u'll see that there is almost 3 inch difference.. maybe randy it`s just 5 11.25 Clay says on 8/Jul/09
If wanderlei Silva is 5'9 then Matt Hughes would be 5'6, lol. mma fan says on 8/Jul/09
yes he was with nike shox, considering his shoes, he is nowhere close to 5'9.5. how possibly you believe Rich franklin is 6'1 and Wany is 5'9.5, it is just impossible, I saw their fight twice, the height difference was 1.5 max. Rich in my opinion is 6'0.5 and wandy is 5'10.5-5'11 mId says on 8/Jul/09
I have a relly hard time seeing wandy at 6' morning.. I mean.. a fan who said he was 5'11,5" had him by 2-3 inches. was he barefoot or was he wearin his nike shox as usual? 5'9 is too short but 5'9.5 - 5-10 is more what I belive him to be in the evening.. he looks shorter than tops 5'11 dana white. thekiddd says on 5/Jul/09
Machida is more like a legit 6' IMO. mma fan says on 5/Jul/09
I met Wandy yesterday @ revolution gym in Toronto, very humble and nice guy. He was not very big. He should be walking around 205 nowadays. I can assure you that 5'9 claim in nonesense. He looked about 5'11 to me. Just compare his height with other fighter you should get around 5'11. He is an inch shorter than Rampage(fought 3 times), he was about 2.5 shorter than liddle in thier staredown in the octagon and he was about 1.5 inch shorter than 6'0-6'0.5 Rich Franklin Clay says on 28/Jun/09
Brock is 6'2 or 6'2.5, and he has Randy by 3 inches there. Funny thing is UFC listing Couture at 6'2, LOL. mma fan says on 26/Jun/09
GSP is not under 5'10 not even a hair, but I can believe Randy being 5'11.5 nowadyas. He has lost about an inch in the last 5 yeras. Rich Franklin should be about 6'0.5 Leung says on 24/Jun/09
I agree Clay, it’s bizarre if Danimal perceived himself taller than GSP. Quintus says on 24/Jun/09
looks under 6'0 compared to brock lesnar at 9:54 Click Here mId says on 24/Jun/09
well.. I just said what danimal posted. not stating any FACT's and just because you say FACT doesn't make it so either. mma-fans who met couture are really arguing over if couture is 6' or 5'11-ish.. and he was really short (just a bit taller than 5'10 tops wanderlei) when standing next to rich franklin and wanderlei (pictures from germany). rich is 6'1 tops. most say 6'. and couture was visibly shorter than franklin so it's not a FACT that couture is a full 6'. It is a fact however that couture is taller than GSP, but we can only speculate their height's. Clay says on 23/Jun/09
mId says on 3/Jun/09
GSP's website says 5'10.5" I belive. I can only belive that as morning height for him. I think he would be 5'9.5 tops before bed. Danimal who posts on this site said GSP was a little shorter than him when he met him. I belive Danimal says he himself is 5'9.5 in the mid-day/evening? right? It's posted here on the Frank Trigg page I belive.
Danimal was also hitting the cold ones when he met GSP and even if he percieved himself as taller, it doesnt mean he is. I sometimes think Im 2 inches shorter than someone based on where our eye levels are but when we stand next to eachother in the gym there is like a .5-1 inch difference. GSP is 5'10'' because Couture was only 2 inches taller. FACT. mId says on 23/Jun/09
why don't you learn to read tony before you bring that attitude? am I missing something.. you say Danimal said he was an inch taller than GSP.. And that's exactly what I posted. I said quote - Danimal who posts on this site said GSP was a little shorter than him when he met him. end quote. now english is not my first language but I'm pretty sure that means that GSP was shorter than Danimal when they met. So I'm not sure what you think I'm wrong about or don't remember. but please feel free to correct me if I'm missing something.. but please ditch the attitude.. because in this case you look like a fool.

GSP should be 5'10", if you compare him with people he have fought. 1.5 to 2 inch on Penn and huges. Aslo Randy had about 1.5 to 2 inch him. 5'10" looks very reasonable for him Anonymous says on 2/Jun/09
GSP is my hero and I would love to KNOW his true height. My guess would be that Matt Hughes inflated his height from 5'8" to 5'9" so when GSP fought him he had to inflate his to 5'10" because he's taller. Does anyone KNOW GSP's height with confidence and evidence? mId says on 25/May/09
ANON: hehe.. I've seen that thread on sherdog. he posted some info in other threads also after that. He measured again and I belive he was 6'1 IN nike shox in the morning-early afternoon. I don't think he knows about shrinking during the day. so he could be lower even. you can't see but shogun is also wearing shox in that pic. he loves his shox.. same with wanderlei. most fans will agree that fighters are almost always overlisted by 1-2 inches. fans who met ex. shogun says he is around 5'11-6' (he's been listed 182cm before in brazil). I think that is his midday-height. damien maia who is listed 6' both in UFC and in brazil before has him by 1'. /greetings from sweden ANON says on 24/May/09
A 5'11.75 guy has pictures of him with Wandy and Fedor, both shorter than him.

I guess Matt Serra is around 5'5 ,after watching the fight last night, Hughes had 3 inch on him. Lyoto looks 6'1 to me , I remember some people said he is not even a 6 foooter Anonymous says on 23/May/09
I saw a TV special where they said that Dana White was 6'0" but after seeing him standing next to 6'1" Lyoto Machida and 5'6" Matt Serra, on the UFC 98 video blog, I have to say Dana White is really only about 5'10". Also I noticed that Dana does not seem to have much of a neck, his head is really close to his shoulders and since he has a wide back it makes his lack of neck be more noticeable. thekiddd says on 21/May/09
Fedor is nothing close to 6'. He's about 5'10" or 5'11" but is billed at 6'. mId says on 21/May/09

yeah.. michaels estimates sound right.. it's not a question if randy and rampage are 6'1.. it is are they even under 6'. and dana is not even 6' morning height in my eyes.. 6' 50 cent has him by 2 inches and bisping at around 6'1 towers over him.. same goes for 5'11 listed rashad evans.. dan henderson who is listed at this site at 5'11 (listed at one fight 5'10) has him by 1-2 cm.. dana was also listed 5'11 for the tito-boxing fight and they were probably giving him an inch extra too ;) Michael says on 21/Apr/09
I live in las vegas and have met randy couture on multiple occasions.
I'm a solid 6'1" and he is definatley shorter than me. (I didn't note his footwear, but I'm always wearing flat vans.... so).
Hes 6'0 flat if not less.
I used to have a picture with him and my 5'10.5" friend Jake.
Randy couture wasn't that much taller....
I mean hes a huge man. Just not an incredibly tall one.
The UFC exaggerates stats. I've met Forest Griffin (at the starbucks I work at), Rampage Jackson (at the Las Vegas Speedway), and Randy Couture (once in a casino, and once at the airport).
All of them are off by atleast an inch.
Rampage was shorter than me.
Griffin was about 1.5 inches taller than me.
Couture was shorter than me. Joe257 says on 19/Apr/09
For whoever wants to know, Dana White is supposed to be 6'0" tall and 210 pounds. Heard it on a TV news special. mId says on 16/Apr/09
eh.. I (mId) posted that last comment about fake promotional-stills etc.. not MMAFAN.. I just noticed that my name-cell had MMAFAN in it?!? anyway.. have a nice one. mmafan says on 16/Apr/09
My opinion: there is more than 1cm between fedor and randy.. the affliction promotional was made so they would look eachother more in the eye.. (almost all posters and such are fake, like the tyson-spinks promotional stare-down.. they were looking at manican-dolls(spelling?) and pasted in together) about the affliction.. I saw some behing the scenes thing when they did it and and they angled the camera a little and made randy tilt back a little bit. fedor is 5'11. maybe even 5'10.5. he sure ain't no 6' I think Dan henderson at about 5'11 is little taller than him.. there is a photo floating around of them together full body shot. mmafan says on 10/Apr/09
fedor is 5'11.5(182cm) and Randy is a legit 6 footer, there is a slight difference between them. Tones of peictures form a Affliction promotional video(they were supposed to fight) mId says on 30/Mar/09
Matt.. fedor is probably not 6' he's more likely 5'10.5 - 5.11... I have yet to hear from one fan who has met him say he's over 5'11. fighters themselves say he is not 6'.. fedor even said so himself. but you are right couture is taller by half and inch to an inch. they are both barefoot in the pic but you can't see it.. Click Here /greetings from sweden Matt says on 30/Mar/09
Couture is very clearly taller than Fedor, and Fedor isn't shorter than 6'0''. I'm convinced people using this site are here to make themselves feel better for being average. Jordan says on 21/Mar/09
Lesnar is 6'2 tops. mId says on 6/Mar/09
dana is 1.5 inches shorter than listed 5'11 rashad evans and about 6' 50 cent. looks like a barefoot hendo is a fraction taller than dana in sneakers too. he's not 6'.. maybe 5'11 tops.. I belive 5'10.5" for dana. thekiddd says on 5/Mar/09
Lesnar is not 6'3"! Clay says on 5/Mar/09
Dana is easily 5'11 if not 6'0. mId says on 5/Mar/09
ok.. now I'm really confused.. I was expecting couture and rich franklin to be the same height but rich looks 1 - 1'5 inch taller than couture (video and pics from germany promotion couple of days ago).. and couture looks about the same height as wanderlei silva. most fans say he's 5'10 TOPS) I'm beginning to belive randy has shrunk from 6' down to 5'11 now. mId says on 2/Mar/09

Even though the UFC list Randy at 6'2" I always thought he looked only 6'0". Dana White is 6'0" (presumably) and him and Randy look the same height. And Brock Lesnar must be 6'3" from his stare down with Couture at UFC 91. mmafan says on 8/Feb/09

Ken Shamrock is 5'11 give or take a quarter inch. mId says on 17/Jan/09
I can't see ken over 5'10.. and the rich franklin henderson staredown just showed it to me even more.. dan is 5'11 max and there wasn't that much of a difference in height with him and franklin compared to ken and franklin. mma fan says on 16/Jan/09
lol, why would Dan Henderson fight a grappling match???? he is not that good on the ground, Frank should be around 5'9, ken is not that short, he is 5'11, and yes Royce Gracie is in 6'0.5 range, he is much taller than people think. He towered(barefoot) over Joe Rogan who is more than 5'9 in his shoes mId says on 16/Jan/09
mmafan: frank shamrock.. it was a long time ago.. and it was a grappling fight I belive.. it was in an octagon but I belive there was no striking.. just you tube it my friend. and dan is a bit taller than frank shamrock.. but I just saw ken barefoot pretty much towering over frank (frank had shoes or socks I belive) in a staredown. (promo for their fight) and ken is not tall man.. I can show you pics of 6-6'1 royce gracie towering over ken. mma fan says on 13/Jan/09
mId,
when did Dan fight Shamrock???? whcih Shamrock you mean? Frank or Ken? was it mma match or grappling or wrestling? it could be a very good comparison if these 2 ever foght!!!! chris says on 13/Jan/09

He's just been anounced in the new stallone film the expendibles with Dolph lundgeren, jet lee and jason statham so that should give us more insight into the heights of all 4. The Ben says on 5/Jan/09
Ive just randys book (its a good one) and he seems very truthfull as regards to all aspects of his life, weight and height included, he even says how shocked he was at his 1st ufc when they did the weigh ins on normal home style scales, he seems like an athlete who knows his height and weight and has no need to lie, I believe he's 6'1.
Big respect to him as well for everything he's accomplished... Clay says on 1/Jan/09
Ok ok b rad87 i guess ur right. After watching the videos i see it too... Randy really is no more than 5 ft 1 0. Thank u 4 enlightening me. Geez, u must really be a great guy b rad mma fan says on 31/Dec/08
lol, B_rad87
I suggest you see more pics and read more comments before calling everyone an idiot, Randy is at least 6'0 Clay says on 18/Dec/08
Moron, Rogan is 5'8 and wears DRESS SHOES when he does the interviews while the fighters are barefoot. Rogan is at 5'10 in shoes and Randy is 6'0'' barefoot, give or take .25 of an inch. And Brock is 6'2-6'2.25. B_rad87 says on 15/Dec/08
Mma fan, i dont have to stop nothing. Go change your panties and watch the lesnar and couture post fight interview and take not of the 2~3 inch height difference between rogan and couture. rogan is 5 ft 7. Makes couture no more than 5 ft 10 maybe 5 ft 10.5. So there ya go ladies. B_rad87 says on 15/Dec/08

You are all idiots.the rock at 6'3 had at least an inch on brock. No way is brock any taller than 6'2.5 making randy at best 5'11. But more like 5'10. And no way is g.s.p. Any taller than 5'8.5. And matt hughes is a midget. U all should kno they pad their heights. Like tim sylvia at 6'8 is a joke. Look at the staredown between him and 6'3 arlovski and u can see tims 6'6 at best. I also find it funny how serious u all take this site. mma fan says on 8/Dec/08
thanks Leung, hope to hear more from you
there you go, now Randy is 5'10 and GSP is 5'8, Are you really sure matt hughes is a legit 5'6??????????????, I think he just pushing itttttt(lo), B_rad87, you downgrade everybody by 2 inch, the think is Brock is taller than 6'2, not Randy shorter than 6'0. Brock is at least 6'2.5 B_rad 87 says on 5/Dec/08
Ok anyone who thinks randy is a 6 footer, just watch the pre fight staredown between randy and brock. Brock at most is a strong 6"2 and he easily had 4 to 4.5 inches on randy. There was no camera trip, just the truth bout randys height. Hes at most 5"10.5. And thats being gracious. And st. Pierre is a 5"8 guy just compare him to a legit 5"6 matt hughes. So stop trying to make these dainty men seem so much bigger. B_rad 87 says on 5/Dec/08
U need to downgrade randy. Next to a 6'2 brock. Randy easily was 4 inches shorter. Hes 5'10 at the most Tony says on 24/Nov/08
Rob I know you would change it , why ? cause your a smart man . Thats Why . I think this listing is accurate on point this guy is 6 barefoot I can buy that . I also Can buy Lesnar is 6'2 because of a more realistic accurate height assesment with Randy this will put all into prespective ....... hopefully Leung says on 23/Nov/08
mma fan has demonstrated that he knows his stuff. His posts are accurate, straight to the point, and they make a lot of sense in this discussion of UFC fighters. Good stuff, keep it up buddy. mId says on 21/Nov/08
no worries mma fan, like I said I listen to all posters here but there is a limit as to how low and how high I think they can be. less than 5'9 from GSP no.. but 5'9.. maybe. I just saw a picture of GSP and rashad evans some fan took while at the hard rock cafe pool or something.. they were in shorts and everybody around barefeet so I assume they were too. rashad (listed 5'11) was leaning in big time in the picture and was about as tall as GSP. I have a lot of pictures saved.. and I wish I could post them all.. some funny ones making fedor 5'10 if frank trigg really is 5'8 as listed here. and then that would make couture 5'11 too. and then one were mike swick is taller than couture and about as tall as liddell :) and brock lesnar..well.. let's just say that he is easily 6-5 6-6 if wanderlei is 5'11 :D bu the weirdest one is a fan pic from the liddell horn weigh-in staredown where you can see that they are both barefeet and even though it's not the best angle.. you can tell that horn is obviously taller than liddell and that can't be right.. like I said to a poster below.. even weigh-in eye-level pics can play tricks with you. I have bisping and hamill eyelevel weigh-in pics.. bisping looking 2 inches shorter. both claim 6'1 though. but when hamill is next to lesnar.. lesnar is like 3 inches taller :/ if bisping really is 6'1 wich he can look.. then hamill is 6-2 -> 6-3 making tito ortiz 6-4 and lesnar 6'5 -> 6'7.. but that CAN'T be right.. what's going on with some pictures.. I'll post them soon.. don't worry ;D mma fan says on 20/Nov/08
mId , I was not trying to insult you or something. I appreciate your contribution and I definitely gain from your knowledge and other people as well, the only thing bothers me, you just believe someone says, that he saw this fighter and they were this or that, and you always go for the lowest, like someone says GSP is less than 5'9, which is totally impossible. I and other people are looking forward to hear more from you mId says on 20/Nov/08
mmafan.. I don't want to argue with you. but I wanna tell you were I'm coming from. take away fan pictures, claimed 6-foot fans opinons training with them and other stuff away. Alot of fans say that wanderlei silva in reality are 5'9 and change.. and if you look at pride 10 it says .. wanderlei silva is 5'9,6".. this is pretty acurate with his 177cm in his vale tudo fights in brazil. there are plenty of other fighters to compare to aswell.. but lets just take wanderlei.. if this height was true. do you see 2,4" between him and rampage and between him and shogun.. I don't. I see max 1,5". that's just one of the reasons I belive rampage and shogun to be under 6 foot (legit). and to me both rampage and couture sure looks more than one inch shorter than self-claimed 6'1 michael bisping in pictures too so.. But like I said.. if you or the others here don't want to hear my opiniun anymore.. I'll stop posting.. no worries man :) mId says on 19/Nov/08
do you want me too post more pics and hear my take on it or do you want me too shut up.. like I said.. I don't care if I'm wrong or right.. I don't win a cookie if he's 5'11 :) and I respect everybody's opinion. And I hear you anonymous.. you are right about camera angles. but sometimes those weigh-in staredown photos don't make sence either.. I know it sounds crazy cause it is as clear as day.. but I did say if you ask me I would say silva is taller than irvin still :/ mId says on 19/Nov/08
well.. all that we all can do is speculate.. we don't know what these peoples heights are. everywhere I go I see some people say for example couture is 6'2.. liddell is 6'4.. then some say randy is 5'11 and liddell 6 - 6'1. if it was just me who says it then I'd probably be wrong.. and I'm not saying I'm right. I'm the first to admit that I don't know for sure. but I listen to what some people say and look at their pictures and then pictures off fighters or fighters with other celebs and then I say what I think. And I don't mind if someone diagrees with me. If I would meet randy and know for sure.. measure him even.. and say for example 5'10.. people would still say I'm crazy and that he is 6'2. and that is fine.. listen man (mma fan).. I belive you and me are "arguing" over 1 inch man. and I can say that I'm pretty sure he's between 182 - 184.. you say 6 feet I belive and I just say that there is a possibility he's a little under. when it comes to randy other fighters I just say what I think and then often provide some pics so people can see why I think so. and let people make up their own mind. I'm not trying to convince anyone.. I don't care if people listen to me or not.. I don't take it that seriously :) but if you can say that you are sure that they are NOT a hair under 6 foot.. you have proof? why can't I say that I think they are under? no point in having comments here then.. just a picture of glenn or rob and then their estimate. comments are for other people too say what they think and debate. If people like you think that they are not a hair under 6 feet then it doesn't matter what I say here anyway :) and the last thing I want is for exaple rob too change something for what I say. like I said.. I'm the first to say.. I don't know for sure. I read all comments and if someone say they met him and say he's 5'11.. and then say no, 6'1 when I met him.. I belive both in a way.. 6'2 though I can say is not right unless all others are taller than listed etc. mma fan says on 19/Nov/08
mId , you broght up some good evidence and argument, but you see everybody short,it has been awhile that you try to convince people that rampage and rand and some other legit 6 footer are 5'11, they are not, these guys are not even a hair under 6 foot. Anonymous says on 19/Nov/08
mId,with due respect,there are height variations between the pre fight or in the cage images simply because of the angles those photos were taken.Is obvious that in the cage , they use strange angles so even 5.9 guys look 5.11 at minimum.I think that the Tonys photo of silva and irvin was taken eye level , barefoot and same ground level for both , so we can give that pic a lot of credit if you ask me. The rest of the images taken by UFC and the in the cage images are not a reliable source they are taken from low angles to diminish the height differences between fighters ,that obvious specially when the fight is about to begin and the ref calls the fighters to the center of the cage.Inmediatly the camera lowers it angle so the height differences are less noticeable and people can swallow the heights they put in their website. Leung says on 18/Nov/08
What’s wrong with you guys? Come on, wake up. It seems that some of you guys are going out of your way to try convenience us that Couture is under 6’.
Anyone with decent sense of height can see that Couture is a strong 6 footer, he’s 6’ plus change. mId says on 18/Nov/08
Tony,, I know anderson looked shorter than irvin at the weigh-in staredown but he was taller than irvin when they fought and the pre-fight staredown if you ask me. I know it's some weird ****.. same thing happened when bisping fought hamill.. bisping says he's 6'1.. hamill is listed at 6'1.. weigh-in staredown there is an inch at least between them with hamill being the taller of the two. but in the fight bisping looked taller.. sometimes you have to look at more than one pic. not saying you are wrong but just what it looked like to me. but you are right about randy beeing 5-11 -> 6'0. //greetings from sweden Tony says on 16/Nov/08
down grade this guy Brock Lesnar Towered over him 2 and half inches at the weigh in last night
i clearly proved silva's height with the picture of him and irvin toe to toe
i will find some more pics of randy compared to legit heighted individuals cause this listing is innaccurate and not fair and brock's seems more like favoritism just being listed at 6'2 i saw randys toe to toe with brock on the yahoo sports section towered over this guy 2 and half inches
in my opinion randy couture is a couple MM under 6 foot compared to the photo of him and George Rush St pierre and one of your people rob "danimal" meeting him at a bar and putting him at 5'9 in shoes George St Pierre well really danimal said he was an inch shorter than himself meeting him at the bar and danimal being 5'9 and 3 quarters
it just makes sense to put this guy at 6 foot at the very least not the 5'11 in my opinion dont give this guy what he wants a lie being bought into to make himself feel more secure about his height which alot of people try to accomidate
demote Randy and promote Lesnar anything less would be purely retarded and would compromise the facts and the accurately gauged heights on this website nick says on 16/Nov/08
well rob, with 100 percent certainty couture is shorter than 6'1 there was a 3 inch difference between him and brock barefoot. 6ft Sean says on 16/Nov/08
Just watched UFC 91 there, Couture against Lesnar. On the tale of the tape Couture is said to be 6' 2" and Lesnar 6' 3". When standing face to face before round 1 Lesnar had at least 2 inches on him. I think he is on the 5'11" to 6' range AceC says on 16/Nov/08
Don't take this the wrong way, but how do you have Brock Lesnar at 6'2" and Randy Couture at 6'1". It is literally impossible for Couture to be ONLY 1" shorter than Lesnar. Lesnar is at the very least 2+" taller than Randy. I think Randy needs to be downgraded or Lesnar upgraded. Maybe you just didn't get around to it... Doink says on 15/Nov/08
Looked about 6-0 at the UFC 91 weigh-in if Lesnar is a legit 6-2.
He is nearly 46, so he could be shrinking some at this point. mId says on 2/Nov/08
sorry.. It was further down on the tito ortiz page they talked about him measured at a party once. mId says on 2/Nov/08
I wanna hear more from the guy further down on the page that said they measured ortiz at a party once at 6'1 and a half. that would make so much sense.. then chuck would be 6'1 and randy 5'11 - 6'0 same as rampage and shogun.. shogun was listed as 182 cm in old vale tudo fights.. wanderlei at 5'10 and rampage own website said 183 cm. this I what I think they really are (max) but you never know.. they might just be what they say they are... at least in the morning.. If you go by crocop's I'm exactly 186 cm (6'1) words.. then it makes sense. /greetings from sweden. thekiddd says on 1/Nov/08
No video or site that says he says it. Until then, it is not true. WS says on 30/Oct/08
Randy has admitted to people I have spoken to that he is JUST UNDER 6'1". I met Ortiz in Vegas after a fight and doubt Tito is all of 6'2", over 6'1" for sure. It is VERY common in the UFC to round up fighters' heights by 1" - 3". thekiddd says on 23/Oct/08
Not Necessarily. Ortiz is exactly 6'2" and is also listed as 6'2" in the UFC. nick says on 18/Oct/08
5'11 1/2, he needs to be downgraded, you have to understand that if he was a legit 6'1 that they would peg him at 6'2 or 6'3 Hmmm says on 8/Oct/08
People who excersise alot and those who fight can gain height late in their lives, due to the healing of micro fracture that occur in their feet and, lengthening of their spine(depending on their excersise) unknown says on 6/Oct/08
he kinda looks 6 -flat mma fan says on 4/Oct/08
Roger
I would like to see, where he decribed himslef as 5'11, and how did you see him 3 inch shorter than Anderson Slive
Click Here
Rich was about 1.5 shorter than Silva, not more than that mma fan says on 14/Sep/08
Okami 6'2
silva 6'1.5
Franklin is 6'0, he used to be listed at 5'11 in some sites, The guy is a legit 6 footer Anonymous says on 13/Sep/08
Roger,and also when silva is near okami there is quite a difference
Click Here
Which is strange since okami is listed everywhere at 6.2. Could be 6.3 ?Or is that silva is 6.1 1/2...The thing with silva is that hes so long and long limbed that he gives the illusion of being 6.4 on screen.
Silva and henderson
Click Here
Roger, im wondering how tall is franklin.When you say that he described himself at 5.11 when was that ? Do you mean he said it on tv or interview ?He was listed at that height at the beginning of his career.The problem when you compare his height with other fighter is that you dont have the security that that other height is real too.On his official site , there is a photo of him and robert patrick ,both looking the same height. patrick is listed here at 182cm.
So silva should be 6.1 and a half and rich 5.11 and a half , i cant see okami at 6.4 lol.
Franklin and Lutter
Click Here
He looks slighty taller than 5.11 lutter , i dont know if lutter is 5.11 for real though... Clay says on 13/Sep/08
Franklin looks 6'0. When did he say 5'11? Clay says on 9/Sep/08
I think Silva might be 6'1.5 because he was slightly shorter than Sandman James Irvine. And I have changed my opinion on Rampage the guy is at least 6'0 he held his own against Liddel who is at the very least 6'1.5 my buddy ran into Liddel and Matt Hughes at a club in Vegas. He's 5'11 (my friend) and Chuck had an easy 3 inches on him. Hughes was looking 5'8.5/5'9. Dave-o-Clock says on 6/Sep/08
If you guys go here you can see a couple of pictures with him and Bobby Jackson Click Here Bobby looks slightly taller than Randy, but Bobby is also wearing shoes. This means that Randy is roughly the same height as Bobby, whatever that is. I'm inclined to believe 6'0" because I seem to remember Randy being listed as 6'0" in his early UFC fights. Anonymous says on 3/Sep/08
Charlie , if you have met all those fighters , i think that you would have some photos to probe your height estimations , otherwise all what are you saying is not more than hot air ,simply because obvioulsy wanderley is not 5.11 or the shortest 5.11 I ever seen, may be you dont know you real height (quite possible) and if you still think he is 5.11 compare him with rampage and shogun there is more than an inch difference in height , plus If franklin is 6.1 why hes the same height as robert patrick listed here at 5.11 1/2 ?
If anderson silva is 6.2 then Okami is 6.3 because on sherdog both okami and silva are doing the staredown barefeet and okami has a good inch or more over silva.
You have to be a complete illiterate in mma to think that the height fighters say or is listed is the true , some yes most not if not check henderson ,rampage diego sanchez ,koscheck all listed 1 inch or more over their real height. mma fan says on 2/Sep/08
Charlie,
you are right with your estomation in my opinion. Many people think MMA fighters all lie about their height. Anonymous says on 2/Sep/08
GSP's website has his height at 5'10.5". I seriously doubt he is taller than this. No one's own website would have their height as less than they really are. MurderAxe says on 1/Sep/08
I'm a big fan of W.Silva, i watched almost every fight of him, and i used to see his introduction back in the times of "vale tudo" in Brasil when he fought without any gloves, and he was introduced with 5'10, this days they say he is 5'11 Charlie says on 31/Aug/08
Also guys Wanderlei Silva is a legit 5'11" honestly cause he is slightly taller than me and I am a little over 5'10" so he isnt 5'10" also Dan Henderson is a legit 5'11" not 6'1" like is sometimes posted, Rich Franklin is a legit 6'1" no shorter and Anderson Silva is at least 6'2" NO LESS, Forrest Griffin to me looks over 6'3" he is tall for a LHW, Kazuo Misaki is a legit 5'11" also, I have around 370+ pictures with MMA fighters on my myspace so check em out if you want and feel free to leave me a message, comment or ask to be my friend, later. Charlie says on 31/Aug/08
Guys I have met Tons of MMA Fighters and have met Randy at least a half Dozen time and he is a lot taller than you guys think, I am over 5'10" myself but under 5'11 and he has got to be at least 6'2" NO JOKE!! and GSP is honestly at least 5'11" they understate his height, GSP is more than 5'10" and Randy is around 6'1" in my honest opinion, I dont bull**** about people's heights and it is interesting to me also, Karo Parisyan and Diego Sanchez both Lie about their heights cause neither of them are 5'10" they are both probably 5'9" or less! For Real!! Clay says on 28/Aug/08
He looks 6'0 flat next to George there. David says on 28/Aug/08
GSP is a legit 5'10, heres him with Couture, taking into account GSPs slight lean/hunch, how tall does Randy really look there? He's pushing pretty hard to be 6'.
Click Here David says on 28/Aug/08
Don't just look at the height though, look at head size, shoulder width, where the elbows begin and end. Wandy looks to have very similair frame to Couture. If Wand was 5'10 what makes Couture what, 5'11 MAYBE 6 if Wand was wearing some strange shoes. Anonymous. says on 27/Aug/08
absolutely anonymous.Wand is more like 5.10 not more , i know this because he was shorter than rampage by a good inch and a half in their staredown in Pride.I posted a picture about this in the dan hendersons page.He must wears big boots or something cuz i saw a pic where he is close in height to jardine also.
Tony , interesting what you say about franklin. I figured out he was shorter specially with a pic of him near robert patrick looking the same height , go to his photo gallery and watch it in his official site. By the way ,anyone have saw him on the flesh to confirm this ? Anonymous says on 27/Aug/08
Wanderlei must be standing on something because I don't believe he is over 5'10. He looked 5'10 compared to Chuck in their fight. No way Randy is that small. David says on 27/Aug/08
Wanderlei Silva is listed at 5'11 and heres a pick with him next to Couture, roughly the same height, even taking into account funky camera angles.

I remember that about Franklin Tony. I always figured him to be 5'11.5-5'11.75. Tony says on 21/Aug/08
"Tony says on 14/Aug/08
wow ufc always billing people taller than they are"
Not always- they billed Anderson Silva at 5'11" in his first fights, when he is clearly 6- 2 minimum. I think theyre just really inaccurate generally.
They deflate height or add height to make there fight cards more even
Anderson silva is only 6'1 clearly looks an inch shorter than "James Sandman Irvin" in there toe to toe pre fight weigh in Click Here
And even in there fight Irvin was still clearly a inch taller
This would also explain why rich franklin was an inch and half shorter than Silva when they fought
If infact Rich Franklin is 5'11 and half cause all of his old fight cards and Bio's Stated 5'11 mId says on 21/Aug/08
mattiew.. do you mean the pics where couture is wearing a backpack and crocop is in sandals? if so.. those pics were not so good to judge height from. in thoose pics randy looked taller to me.. and much bigger but this can't be the case.. I have the pics so I can post them someday.. crocop said he was 186 cm exactly. but is that morning or evening height? anyway.. I can buy that as the lowest for crocop..randy and rampage I would say are pretty even. I think they are 6 feet exactly during the day ;) they looked dead on even in their sparring fight. there is also a video on youtube where randy and frank trigg (that this site also has) sparring. maybe you could judge from that. people who have met them have different opinions. even with pics you can't be sure. some people posting pics say they are 6'1 and shogun, rampage etc are 2 inches shorter than them. some claim they are 5'11 and them rampage is like 2 inches taller.. who's lying :) all I know is that barefoot ninja and shogun are about the same height.. look at their instructionals. and shogun and rampage where about the same height to in their fight. and then rampage and couture where even.. so.. yeah.. I would say 6' during the day.. and 5'11 at night.. especially for rampage and shogun. damn I'm writing much.. sorry /greetings from sweden Anonymous says on 20/Aug/08

He was older than 25 when he was at Oklahoma state. I believe he was like 27 or something when he started wrestling there. He was the division 1 runner up in 1992 so he would have been 29 then. PJ says on 15/Aug/08
Agree with MMA fan, Randy's 6' or 6' 1/2 and rounding up. Mr Money says on 14/Aug/08
There's a picture of him looking shorter then 5"11 Bobby Jackson(pre-draft measurement) from the NBA. He's got bad posture so that might have something to do with it. randy couture lol says on 14/Aug/08
"I once saw a card or something on the internet of him when he was wrestling at Oklahoma State and it had his height as 6'0." u keep growin until ur 25 but not by much so he probably grew 1 inch bc i believe hes 6"1 just bc he said he was randy is honest Anonymous says on 14/Aug/08

my guess : peak 185/186cm
nowadays 184cm
He seemed 2cm taller than Fedor and 2 cm shorter than CroCop ... mma fan says on 13/Aug/08
6'1 is fairly close. More like 6'0.5, nothing less than that. The difference was 1.5 inch when he faught Tito and 1 inch when he faught chuck. |
