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 HereAnd 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

I remember that about Anderson Silva. I also remember seeing him billed as 178cm in pride which is just plain ridiculous.

Mattiew_- He seemed 2cm taller than Fedor and 2 cm shorter than CroCop ...
where did you see him with CroCop?

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.

Agree with MMA fan, Randy's 6' or 6' 1/2 and rounding up.

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.

"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

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.
