I don't understand what you're getting at. Can you elaborate?

I'm almost always the smallest guy in the gym. Tapping out big dudes is a point of principle by now.

I'm thinking the average is driven up because of the bigger weight classes. What's the average for WEC?

I'm 5'8 and all you tall motherfuckers can blow me.

I'm 5' 11" but according to my tailor I have the reach of a 6' 3" man. Yup fear the ape arms! It does seem that most fighters are pretty tall these days. 6' 1" seems almost minimum.

Anyone under 6' is short and small.

Also: +1 to what FriendlyFire said.

Guys who are about 5'8 tend to put themselves at 5'10.
Happens all the time. The taller guys tend to be more honest though
5'11 can be translated into 6', or just under 6'.
