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 Roger says on 3/Oct/08
mma fan, Franklin is a legit 6 footer??? That's quite a surprise, as he said himself in an interview he's 5'11''.
You seem to know his height better than himself. 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? Roger says on 13/Sep/08
Clay, thanks for posting this, Liddell is a legit 6'1.5'' at least, prolly 6'2'' straight. I also now believe slightly less than 6'2'' for Silva because of the Sandman staredown. Also, Rich Franklin, who described himself as 5'11'' did not seem to be 3 inches shorter than Silva. 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

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. |
