Silva was less than 3 inches shorter than 6’4 ish Jon Jones so less than 6’1 is a joke. This listing is probably bang on.

Show your picture with Bisping then. Otherwise your claims are baseless. So many people here say 'oh i met him he's no taller than x' are legit bs'ing 99.9% of the time.

People will think this is crazy but I don’t have Anderson being much taller than 6’0, maybe 6’0.5 feet but not a legit 6’1. I met and have a photo with Michael Bisping, I’m 6’0 flat out of bed and I was close to a full inch taller than Bisping. So me knowing with absolute certainty that Bisping is 5’11, Silva standing next Bisping is in no way 6’1.
Btw Silva was even listed at 5’11 in fights outside the UFC…

I believe he is 6'2" as billed to me he looked an inch taller than Chael and Bisping. Who claim 6'2" but are really 6'1". for some reason in the western world all guys add an inch or two.
Bisping is nowhere near 6'1 though. He's consistently looked at best 6'0. If we go by that which is probably closer to the truth, Andersn is not 6'2 but 6'1 as he's listed here.

Though the UFC is very stringent about their fighters making weight and measuring things like reach, I don't think they accurately measure height and let them claim whatever. I think it's like pro wrestling and the NBA where the size of these guys in inflated to make them literally larger than life.
Randy Cotoure at 6'2" when he's much closer to 5'10". Which is obvious in most staredowns before his fights. I think most UFC guys are a good inch or two shorter than they claim. But Anderson always looked tall in there.
Yeah it’s funny how Chael and Bisping are the same height yet Chanel’s billed 6’1 and Bisping 6’2, especially when Silva is 6’2 and taller than him

How tall is Wanderlei Silva? He’s supposedly 6’0 but so is Chael Sonnen by his own admission and Chael is visibly taller than him. So aim thinking that Chael’s 6’0 or a hair over and Wanderlei is 5’10.5ish

This is dumb, I believe he is 6'2 because their heights and weights are accurately measured, so there's no point speculating.

That's around a solid 2" difference between them, not 1" max. I don't think he's as tall as 6'1.25" however, since he looks around 6'0.75" with 6'3.25" Jon Jones and 6'4.75" Kobe. Merriman can look around 6'3" in that clip.

@Guest66 Yeah man I was surprised when I met him, I’m honest about my height, I’m barely 6’0ft tall, he’s listed as 6’2 in the UFC and like I said I was taller than him... The UFC fudges a lot of fighters heights, I’ve also met Frank Mir and Diego Sanchez, Diego was about 5’8 but he’s listed at 5’11, and Frank Mir was about 6’1 but he’s listed at 6’3. @Rampage I know it’s hard to think of Silva under 6’1 but you’re comparing him to other fighters who’s heights are also exaggerated, plus they all look a lot bigger on TV. Silva was actually listed as 5’11 I believe in other promotions before he got into the UFC, wouldn’t be surprised if Anderson’s closer to 6’0 flat than 6’1.

@Sonny Black, the moment I saw Bisping with a 5’10 1/4 listed youtuber “KSI” I realized that the man wasn’t even 6’0 flat, and I’ve estimated him around 5’11.5”. It’s pretty amazing that you’ve met him and confirmed my guess.

Well I met Michael Bisping and he was 5’11-5’11.5 range, I know this cause I’m 6’0 flat and I was slightly taller than him. When I see Silva next to Bisping I’ve got Silva at about 6’0.5 to 6’0.75 range.

Met this guy today. He had a slight footwear advantage; he was wearing sneakers, and I was wearing sandals. My eyes came up to his philtrum (the area between the upper lip and nose. I would say he’s 6’1.5”. What was really surprising was how huge his head was. On tv he always looked lackey-tall, but in person he looked big-tall.

Judging by his weigh in with Michael Bisping who I know is about 5’11.5, I’d say Silva is a shade under 6’1.
