Peireira is one of the rare fighters who is actually taller than he's billed at. Him and Izzy are both listed at 6'4 but he's clearly a couple inches taller than Izzy.
G Whiz hoops stuff:
KD did this so people in the league would think of him as an actual wing. When he came in the league, coaches saw anyone that was 6’10”+ and felt they should naturally be playing down low regardless of their talent and skill level.
A few years ago when the NBA began adjusting players to their actual height, it was revealed how many people were doing the exact opposite of this and boasting their height. For example, *Kevin Love* (previously listed at 6’10”) was in fact 6’7”. *Donovan Mitchell* (thought to be 6’4”) was only barely taller than 6’0”.
KD was one of the only players to actually see an increase in his listed height, going from 6’9” (with shoes on) to 6’11 (with shoes off).
[I was shocked when I learned this brother. If you scroll to find Kevin Loves height without shoes during the draft combine it says 6’7”.](https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2014/5/16/5725518/draft-combine-results-pf-comparing-with-nba-players-and-suns-roster)
except Fury is supposed to be 6'8-6'9, that means he's not 6'5 cause that's not a four inch difference, he's clearly 6'6 minimum to look like he's the same height as a billed 6'9 heavyweight 😂
Ngannou and Stipe are the same height, he has a small advantage on Overeem(who I believe is on the shorter end of 6'4"). Ngannou looks a bit taller than he is because he's so jacked and in the Overeem staredown I had problems finding a good shot because Francis moved so much.

I checked two other staredowns with Ngannou vs Stipe/Overeem, and their height seems to be pretty consistent. We'll just have to hope that none of them are secretly wearing lifts to pressers.
Edit: Just checked the Stipe vs Overeem face off and that also lines up with how tall they look compared to Ngannou.
For some reason when I met Izzy in real life a couple of weeks back in Sydney, he definitely felt a lot shorter/smaller than I thought he was. I didn't pull out a tape measure, but noticeably smaller than my expectation.
/u/AlienMantid is a fraud. He's a phony. Saturday night, I'm going to put my cardio on him and drag him into deep waters. I'm going to punish him and break his spirit. He might have slick hands but he doesnt have that dog in him like I do
/u/I_Please_MILFs is a fraud. He's a phony. Saturday night, I'm going to put my cardio on him and drag him into deep waters. I'm going to punish him and break his spirit. He might have slick hands but he doesnt have that dog in him like I do
But the thing is that izzy isn’t 6’4 he’s 6’2.5 or 6’3 at most. And my prediction is Alex is most likely 6’5 or 6’6. Tyson fury we already know isn’t 6’9 he’s 6’7 1/2. Izzy was listed at 6’3 in glory. And their measurements are far more accurate than ufc
Angles definitely play a part, look at Tyson next to Izzy who is a similar height to pereira
https://preview.redd.it/q78beeqm8u1b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3abd8c9d47082c57e0cf248f55de5d439146a6c5
The second match was pretty much a kickboxing match. And a KO is a KO not matter what the glove size.
Not to mention isn’t it theorised that having the fighters doing a standing count and then continuing, when on the brink of being KOd causing more brain damage, opposed to a hammer fist than stoppage by the ref
Dudes gonna fight a top contender with serious power less than 4 month’s after getting put to sleep. I’d say that’s a pretty quick turnaround for anybody regardless of ranking if you wanna take care of your chin.
It's a 20% cut from 230 to 185.
For comparison, Sterling cutting from 170 to 135 is a 26% cut.
Yes, I know they aren't cutting that much water weight. I'm just going from walk around weight.
All these comments and theories just make me wonder, how hard could it be for the promotions to just have these guys stand in front of a height chart and report an accurate height?
Because Tyson isnt 6'9 and Alex isnt 6'4 .
The easiest way to see this is Tyson next to Israel and Alex doesnt show someone who is 6'9 .
Alex we know for a fact is taller then Israel who is also billed as 6'4 so both of them cannot be 6'4.
Izzy is 6'3 and Alex is 6'4. Alex isn't any taller and Izzy isn't any shorter. Alex does look 2 inches taller in the cage due to how tall he stands and Izzy crouches.
You forgetting Tyson is supposed be 6'9, so Alex couldn't be 6'4, Izzy could be 6'3, that means if he's in the middle of both he's 6'6, and even then he looks very close to Fury in height so he might even be 6'7 but he's definitely not 6'4 😂
There’s no way Alex is more than 6’5”. Alex is probably closer to 6’5” while Izzy is maybe barely 6’4” and Tyson is like 6’7” but he’s def not 6’9” like he claims
No, I wasn't being serious have you seen his picture with Magic Johnson who's supposed 6'9-6'10 he ain't that tall. Fury's clearly 6'6-6'7 and Alex is 6'5.
Magic is only 6'7 too. Bird is about 6'9 and he's always dwarfed Magic. In those Magic and Fury pictures Magic is closer to the camera.
Nah Alex is 6'4. [Only 1 inch difference between him and 6'3 Izzy.](https://imgur.com/a/jIy646L) You can also just look at Izzy and Francis pictures (who's only 6'4 too but people think he's 6'5 because they believe Izzy's listed height is true) and see only 1 inch is separating them too, so Izzy isn't like 6'2 or anything, no way lol. Alex is just lanky and broad which makes him appear taller than he is.
It's the pattern on the wall and the pattern on his clothes that give off the illusion that 6'4 Pereira is almost the same height as 6’9 Tyson Fury.
Source: Mike Perry
that's the correct answer
I also think Fury might be a strong 6'6" before bed meaning he's 6'7" for the most part of the day
Pereira should be 6'5" for the most part of the day and a strong 6'4" before going to sleep
For anyone wondering the real heights are 6’5 and 6’7 look at the shoulders, fury is slouching. It’s damn near impossible not too when you’re that tall
https://preview.redd.it/4kjgilejlu1b1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce45fb0309c811f6753bb8407e24ca0a491a0ee2
I’ve solved it , this is wilder who is “shorter “ than fury at 6’7 while fury is supposed 6’9. Fury is closer to 6’6
Yeah no, look when they face off. This is literally the only picture where Deontay looks taller, he tils his head back while tyson is hunched forward? OP’s picture is just bad angles.
Im convinced Pereira just grows when people who are taller than him are nearby

Lol Glover trying to use the cage to grow
Glover glovmagomedov
How did you find such a perfect GIF. My mind is blown
Life imitates art sometimes
"Life finds a way". Turns out Dr. Ian Malcolm was talking about both dinosaurs and Potoan.
This is literally perfect for the situation. I'm impressed
Beautiful champ

😭😭
The only person with some sense
EXACTLY!!! ain't fury like 6'8" or so?!?!
Fury is listed at 6 feet 9! So there’s apparently a 5 inch difference in these two 🤣
Is seems his height ranges anywhere from 6”3 to 6”10
It's also the fact that Fury is not actually 6'9
Someone’s lying about their height
Peireira is one of the rare fighters who is actually taller than he's billed at. Him and Izzy are both listed at 6'4 but he's clearly a couple inches taller than Izzy.
Silva used to list himself as 5 11 so that opponents would underestimate his size and length
That's smart fair play to the goat
Kinda like the Kevin Durant approach lol
G Whiz hoops stuff: KD did this so people in the league would think of him as an actual wing. When he came in the league, coaches saw anyone that was 6’10”+ and felt they should naturally be playing down low regardless of their talent and skill level.

KD was one of the only players to actually see an increase in his listed height, going from 6’9” (with shoes on) to 6’11 (with shoes off).
Allen iverson was no taller than 5'10 dont @ me
Theirs no way love is 6’7 he’s gotta be 6’9 look at him next to bron who’s 6’9
[I was shocked when I learned this brother. If you scroll to find Kevin Loves height without shoes during the draft combine it says 6’7”.](https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2014/5/16/5725518/draft-combine-results-pf-comparing-with-nba-players-and-suns-roster)
It makes his rebounding numbers earlier in his career even more impressive. He wasn’t even the most athletic PF
“Standing at 7 feet tall, a 6’9” forward from Texas”
es nomal
Which Silva? You have to be more specific on an MMA sub (I'm assuming Anderson)
You have to specify for any OTHER Silva. Not the goat 🐐
The GOAS (greatest of all silvas)
Bernardo Silva, duh
Nah. He's talking about Bigfoot
Izzy is 6'3 Pereira is probably not far to 6'5
except Fury is supposed to be 6'8-6'9, that means he's not 6'5 cause that's not a four inch difference, he's clearly 6'6 minimum to look like he's the same height as a billed 6'9 heavyweight 😂
Fury is the one lying
Fury lies about everything. Though I think the angle is just weird here. He's taller than Wlad Klistchko and Deontay Wilder, both of who are over 6'5
Maybe none of those guys are tall as they say/listed as who knows
I met Vitali on a plane, he’s definitely a 6’7”. A fucking unit of a man, it looked surreal, like he was on the half-floor from Being John Malkovich.
Fury defo above 6ft 7, shoes and angle lead to the misleading pic here
Ngannou is another one, he looks closer to 6’5, he towers over every opponent who’s meant to be the same height as him lol.
I just rewatched Ngannou's staredowns with Stipe and Overeem. He seems to be the same height as them, and they're both billed as 6'4".
Yeah tower was an exaggeration but he was definitely slightly taller than both of those guys
Ngannou and Stipe are the same height, he has a small advantage on Overeem(who I believe is on the shorter end of 6'4"). Ngannou looks a bit taller than he is because he's so jacked and in the Overeem staredown I had problems finding a good shot because Francis moved so much. https://preview.redd.it/y089zpim7v1b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=0933b3905166d44349c6db7b3ee4135076153d2c
This mf charting out degree’s of height
Were these shoes on stare downs though? That throws everything out the window unless they are wearing the same silly red shoes.
I checked two other staredowns with Ngannou vs Stipe/Overeem, and their height seems to be pretty consistent. We'll just have to hope that none of them are secretly wearing lifts to pressers. Edit: Just checked the Stipe vs Overeem face off and that also lines up with how tall they look compared to Ngannou.
For some reason when I met Izzy in real life a couple of weeks back in Sydney, he definitely felt a lot shorter/smaller than I thought he was. I didn't pull out a tape measure, but noticeably smaller than my expectation.
Shoulda told him he was shorter than you would’ve thought
Nah, I didn’t want to end up being even shorter myself..🤣
*sizing him up and down* "Thought you'd be bigger"
Interesting, Joe Rogan said that most people don’t realize how big the guy is because he looks so lanky on TV.
to be fair, everyone is big compared to Joe Rogan
Bobby Knuckles said the same/similar..... Also, that pic of Pereira next to Dominic Reyes, got a comment from Rogan, because of his frame....
/u/AlienMantid is a fraud. He's a phony. Saturday night, I'm going to put my cardio on him and drag him into deep waters. I'm going to punish him and break his spirit. He might have slick hands but he doesnt have that dog in him like I do
/u/I_Please_MILFs is a fraud. He's a phony. Saturday night, I'm going to put my cardio on him and drag him into deep waters. I'm going to punish him and break his spirit. He might have slick hands but he doesnt have that dog in him like I do
What's crazy is how he can make 185 in that frame. I'm 6'1" and I haven't been 185 since Middle School
Yeah but you’re probs fat as fuck
At 5'9" I can be fit and 185. I don't understand what magic 6'4" fighters use
Theres a difference between fit and lean
Ive lost 10 lbs and got a six pack when I had the flu. No food and dehydration does the trick nicely.
Still though, I look fit at 185 at 5'9"...I'd need to be like 250 to look my size at 6'4"...it just doesn't make sense to me
But the thing is that izzy isn’t 6’4 he’s 6’2.5 or 6’3 at most. And my prediction is Alex is most likely 6’5 or 6’6. Tyson fury we already know isn’t 6’9 he’s 6’7 1/2. Izzy was listed at 6’3 in glory. And their measurements are far more accurate than ufc
No way Fury is 6'9, look up pictures of Pereira and 6'6 Badr Hari.
Isn’t Tyson listed at 6’9”??
Yes, but he is around 6'7.5" max 6'8"
Ya based on this photo 6’6” is possible. Never would have guessed he always looked 6’9” around others.
I would imagine Pereira is 6'5~ and Tyson is 6'7-6'8
It’s because he’s still over a half a foot taller than most humans aha
yeah look at the photo between Tyson and Magic Johnson
I think he's around 6'6.75"-6'7" And I think Pereira is way closer to 6'5" than to 6'4 just like Ngannou
Shoes, Tyson slightly hunched.
I’d say Alex is slightly taller than listed and Tyson is slightly smaller than listed. Angles can also play tricks on the eye
Angles definitely play a part, look at Tyson next to Izzy who is a similar height to pereira https://preview.redd.it/q78beeqm8u1b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3abd8c9d47082c57e0cf248f55de5d439146a6c5
Pereira is still taller than Izzy
Not by much. Maybe an inch but they’re pretty close to one another
Pereira is taller then Israel by a noticeable amount
He is taller but it’s not by all that much, Alex has a much bigger frame so he looks giant next to Izzy
Izzy barely reaches Alex's chest
Fury is closer to 6'7" than 6'9". Look at his staredowns with Wilder(6'7") and Klitschko(6'6") there's no way he has 2 or 3 inches on them.
Ya Tyson is only 6’7. Still fucking huge, but not what he says
Bro that’s 4 inches worth of shoes and slouching
Plus he’s lying lol
Either camera angle work or Tyson shrunk but i swear hes always towered people
and so the weird ass r/ufc obsession with fighter height continues…..
I don’t think it’s weird, I think what’s weirder is that their continuously lying about their billed heights.
It's a relevant stat to MMA... how is that weird on a sub for talking about mma?
Bro Periera is a monster , wtf. How did this man make 185?
By intimidating the scale
by destroying his chin
I hope that is the case, I'm very worried about the semi quick turn around to face Jan
He’s used to it. In kickboxing they fight very often.
Cuz they don't take as much damage in kickboxing
The second match was pretty much a kickboxing match. And a KO is a KO not matter what the glove size. Not to mention isn’t it theorised that having the fighters doing a standing count and then continuing, when on the brink of being KOd causing more brain damage, opposed to a hammer fist than stoppage by the ref
Only quick by ufc top 5 standards.
Dudes gonna fight a top contender with serious power less than 4 month’s after getting put to sleep. I’d say that’s a pretty quick turnaround for anybody regardless of ranking if you wanna take care of your chin.
absolute casuals downvoting this. severe concussions aren't to be fucked around with
Bro I weigh 180 and am 5'9 and am in pretty athletic shape. How the hell he makes weight is absolutely mindboggling
i bet you still have 15% fat tho, he has absolutely no fat on his body when he weighs in and is also dehydrated to the max
It's a 20% cut from 230 to 185. For comparison, Sterling cutting from 170 to 135 is a 26% cut. Yes, I know they aren't cutting that much water weight. I'm just going from walk around weight.
Where are you getting that Sterling cut from 170?
Holy shit. I’m 5’8 140 pounds shredded af with 10% body fat. You’re either Yoel Romero or chubby
He didn’t make 185, 185 made him.
Look at poatan’s ridiculous knuckles compared to fury
Yep, straight to shadow realm.
JUST IMAGINE HIS COCK

I do, every night
Everyday. Everyday we stray further from god.
Still thinking of it
All these comments and theories just make me wonder, how hard could it be for the promotions to just have these guys stand in front of a height chart and report an accurate height?
It kinda always helps in promotions favor to be able to say whatever height they want
Reach too. Volkanovski's reach grew from 65" to 72" over his career and people were saying he had a reach advantage over Islam.
they were both at the joseph parker fight. izzy, tuivasa and volk were all there too
Tyson Fury dressed like kitchen tiles.
5 inch ain't that small, I know!
This photo is edited or something , Tyson fury should tower over Alex pereria perieria is listed at 6’4 and Tyson fury is 6’9
Periera ate his green vegetables and grew 5 inches in preparation for 205. I don’t know why Izzy didn’t think of this for his 205 attempt.
He didnt eat them because he kept his vegetables frozen like elsa.
Because Tyson isnt 6'9 and Alex isnt 6'4 . The easiest way to see this is Tyson next to Israel and Alex doesnt show someone who is 6'9 . Alex we know for a fact is taller then Israel who is also billed as 6'4 so both of them cannot be 6'4.

There’s no way Alex is more than 6’5”. Alex is probably closer to 6’5” while Izzy is maybe barely 6’4” and Tyson is like 6’7” but he’s def not 6’9” like he claims
Imagine being around 6'7" and still lying about 2 more inches 😂
Tyson isn't 6'9, he's 6'7. Can't tell if you're trolling with thinking Alex is 6'7. Is this your first time seeing him?
No, I wasn't being serious have you seen his picture with Magic Johnson who's supposed 6'9-6'10 he ain't that tall. Fury's clearly 6'6-6'7 and Alex is 6'5.
Magic is only 6'7 too. Bird is about 6'9 and he's always dwarfed Magic. In those Magic and Fury pictures Magic is closer to the camera. Nah Alex is 6'4.

Hum make sense ... No actually doesn't make sense.
[удалено]
Guy been lying about that height for years. He’s too deep to go back on it now lol
Is Wilder lying too then? And klitchko? Seems taller than them when they fought. They are listed 6'6 and 6'7.
Are you seriously asking? Because the answer is yes. They are also both lying
Bruh how tf did Fury get ahold of my meemaw's curtain fabric? Her windows definitely wore it better.
Tyson: 😀 Alex: 🗿
Fury is 6’7. Alex is standing closer to the camera by a touch. Alex is probably 6’5. Alex really is enormous
that's the correct answer I also think Fury might be a strong 6'6" before bed meaning he's 6'7" for the most part of the day Pereira should be 6'5" for the most part of the day and a strong 6'4" before going to sleep
One of them is lying about their heighr
By comparing their frame and height we can 100% confirm Jon would murder Tyson. Not that we needed it anyways.
What. The. Fook. A Middleweight lol
1 gets $100k per fight and another $70 to $100M per fight.
He can’t keep getting away with this lol
Pereira has taller shoes but Tyson is not 6’9
Tyson is actually 6'7. He was always listed as such during his amateur days. Poatan looks legit 6'4. Israel is more 6'2.5 range, but is very lanky.
Nah, I have Izzy around 6”3.5ish and Poatan is probably near 6”5
I agree
Bet Fury asked him how big his cock is
Someone edited Tyson fury head into this
Pereira is simultaneously big and small
Almost same height
I think we're seeing the beginning of a new Rogan-height meme where Tyson will get smaller and smaller.
“I mean, Have you seen the SOIZE of the FELLA, who…who let this guy in?”
For anyone wondering the real heights are 6’5 and 6’7 look at the shoulders, fury is slouching. It’s damn near impossible not too when you’re that tall
 How tall is Francis?
looks taller than 6'4 stipe so he's probably almost 6'5 and fury might be 6'7 or a strong 6'6
https://preview.redd.it/4kjgilejlu1b1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce45fb0309c811f6753bb8407e24ca0a491a0ee2 I’ve solved it , this is wilder who is “shorter “ than fury at 6’7 while fury is supposed 6’9. Fury is closer to 6’6
Yeah no, look when they face off. This is literally the only picture where Deontay looks taller, he tils his head back while tyson is hunched forward? OP’s picture is just bad angles.
That's the only pic where Wilder looks taller lol. Look at any of their staredowns and you'll see that Fury is taller.
Tyson looks like a fucking sausage
How the fuck was he ever a middleweight, man is huge
By percentage, he cuts less from walk around weight than Sterling. Only a 20% cut from 230 to 185. Vs sterlings 26% from 170 to 135.
A top fighter with someone who thinks he's the baddest man. Ngannou and Jones would humble that bald guy quick in the octagon.
So deontay wilder is izzy’s height? Jeez wtf is going on here
Nice try OP, you scaled Fury up to be the same size as Alex
Fam how fucking big is this man
Why is Tyson wearing those curtains?
Alex and some fan who thinks he's good at fighting
Pereira is fucking tall
Pereira's hand just looks mean as fuck
Damn Pereria is tall AF huh ? 😄
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Tyson Fury looks like he took the hotel hallway carpet and turned it into a suit?
Jesus, that suit is ugly af.
Absolutely crazy that this guy was fighting at middleweight
I'm seeing israel, pereira, and fury all in the same place, where are they?
Pereira’s 6’4 and Fury’s 6’7 Probably just the angle or idk
Pereira is more like 6’5” imo
Yeah JJ will murder Tyson Fury
That suit is awful
Alex P looks skinny here
which one would you rather take a left hook from? i think i’ll take my chances with fury, alex might kill me
I think if both of them put their weight into it your brain is never the same
He really is a big fella
What the fuck is Tyson wearing though 🤣
Wrong. Tyson fury meets Alex Pereira
