lol, great observation there vegas, this video shows a lot. In the video the undertaker with great posture is taller than jbl, i know that he wore lifts during this time, but he is tall er by 2 to 3 inches so outruling it he still is taller. And if you pause the video at 2:33 you really notice the height difference. NOW this is the ideal picture that is needed level picture etc. 6'7 would be around were the top of the metal is on the titaltron. This looks like a peak bigshow that may have actually been 7'0.5 to 7'1'
dave said on 25/Oct/07
Shamrock has the proportions of a 6 footer, so I think he has lost an inch in height since his youth and is now 5'11''.A strong 5'11'' I would say though.
Vegas, Big Show makes everyone look tiny...
Vegas said on 19/Oct/07
shamrock looks tiny beside big show here, hard to buy even 5'10 for him here
Click Here of course big show is really just 6'7, lol
Alex said on 18/Oct/07
Shamrock back then when I was younger I thought was 6'0-6'1, but looking at him now, he's 5'10. He sure looks 220 something pounds at least.
dave said on 17/Oct/07
Alex, Shamrock always striked me as a 6 footer in wrestling but after looking at some more pictures - I think he really is only 5'11''. Ortiz towers over him in many of their staredowns. Serra is 5'6.5 - the shortest "elite" fighter is Sherk at 5'5.75 or 5'6 I think.
Dunken said on 16/Oct/07
Serra is 5'6. he was considerably shorter than 5'10ish GSP.
Height Detective said on 14/Oct/07
Rich Franklin is 6 ft or 5.11 1/2 ,here is a photo of him with Robert Patrick who is listed here at 182 cm , and both look the same height.I posted in the Robert Patricks thread time ago and it was earased , just can find it now.
Plus in the xcience and damagewear website he is listed at 5.11 ,and in early fights when he wasnt a star in the UFC they listed him in the tale of the tape at 5.11 or 6 ft just in their post Shamrock fights he began to be listed at 6.1 , plus in the Ultimate Fighter 2nd season when Rich was the coach he picked Rashad as his teammate , and rashad is around 5.11 and when they stood next to each other and Rich gave him the shirt of his team , they were the same height.
Ken Shamrock is listed in his oficial website at 5.11 205 lbs its stated in an article inside the website ,other UFC fighters heights:
Anderson Silva , probably is 6.1 1/2 since Okami is taller than him. Watch this photo.
Click Here
and this one
Click Here
That , or okami is taller .
Josh Koschek is 5.9 , he said it himself in the post fight interview after he fought against Jeff Joslin ,(available at the UFC website ) he said "it was a though fight ,a 5.9 guy vs a 6ft guy " pointing of course that he was the 5.9 guy.
Diego Sanchez ,is not 5.11 as he is listed he is listed at 5.8 in the xcience website and he looks it.
Forrest Griffin is 1.87 cm , as he was stated when he faced Edson Paredao when he wasnt famous ,then in the UFC he was upgraded to 6.3.
Albert said on 29/Sep/07
That first pic that ace posted shows Couture and Ortiz with Bobby Jackson who has been measured as 5'11 in nba pre-draft measurements. If the pics are barefoot then Couture looks 5'10 and Ortiz looks 6'-6'1.
Ace said on 17/Sep/07
Rich Franlin is barely 6ft. Anderson Silva had at the very least 2 inches on him, and he's suposed to be 6'2". I know that you can't always be certain on what ufc fighters heights are according to how their listed on the ufc, but you can use basic deductive reasoning to find out what they're not. Look at Matt hughes, He's listed as 5'9", but he's the exact same height as Frank Trigg who was listed at 5'8" for the longest time. Same thing with Randy and chuck, They were the same height (within .5 of an inch) when they fought. I literally watched the barefoot staredowns on my comp as I have their last two fights. Tito is 1 inch taller than coutoure, 1.25 at the most, I wached the staredown on my comp. Chuck appeared to be an inch shorter than Tito, Chuck's gotta 6'1". His tallest height possible is infact 6'1.5", but that is more unlikely than 6'1". download the fights and wacth the staredowns they're barefoot. Hes the same height as Randy.
Anonymous said on 17/Sep/07
Okami looks bigger than 6'2 though. He gives the impression of what a guy who is 6'2 in shoes would look. I think he's about 6'2.5 or almost 6'3.
A lot of the fighters are listed with in-shoes height though (+1-1.5 inches) which makes no sense given they obviously don't fight with their shoes on! Rich Franklin looked barely 6' next to Okami. Mike Swick looked about 5'11.
mma guy said on 14/Sep/07
I met Tito once since I did a little muay thai and he was there along with Ken Shamrock. Tito is one of the few that is not exagerated. He's 6'3" but Shamrock seemed closer to 5'11" or maybe he had bad posture. I see Randy Couture about the same as Shamrock.
mma fan said on 9/Sep/07
I used to think cro cop was 6'1.5, but now I am convinced he is 6'1. Randy should be 6'0.5
Dunken said on 9/Sep/07
Crocop is around 6'1.
Zlatan said on 8/Sep/07
Does anyone know how tall is Mirko Cro Cop?
Art said on 28/Aug/07
Cotoure has pretty crappy posture though, I'm pretty sure he's no less than 6-1 when standing straight.
Jason said on 27/Aug/07
Couture was about an inch shorter than a 6-1 listed NBA player in a pic I posted here a long time ago.
dave said on 27/Aug/07
Tito has stated he is 6'3'' so he is at leasat 6'2'', and he looks all of it. Yeah...Ortiz is 6'0'' Alex.
Ace said on 26/Aug/07
Tito is 6'2", and is slightly taller than both Chuck and Randy who are the same height. Randy Couture is 6'1", hes one inch shorter than Tito, and about an inch shorter than gonzaga. You can see this on his fight versus Tito (UFC 44), and his fight vs Gonzaga (UFC 74). I have both fights on my comp. Check this out:

That and the fact iv'e have yet to see see chuck appear taller than Tito. Although Tito has appeared taller than both Chuck and Randy on different occassions.
dave said on 24/Aug/07
Tito had .5 or .75 of an inch on Chcuk in their barefoot staredown. Tito has stated he is 6'3'' as well which stretched out he may very well be. People trying to downgrade everyone just make me laugh. Shamrock 5'10...Tito 6'1, Stallone 5'7''. Give me a break.
mma fan said on 24/Aug/07
chuck and tito are the same height, tito wants to show he is taller all the time, that's why at weigh-in right after he goes on scale, he puts on his shoes and wait for his opponent to come without shoes on standing face to face and take a picture, that's the picture you guys saw which shows that tito is 1.5 inch taller than chuck, in fact both of them are 6'2
Jason said on 23/Aug/07
Never seen him face off with Liddel, but that's how he's looked before.
dave said on 22/Aug/07
Hahaha Ortiz 6'1'' flat? Ortiz is slightly taller than Liddel...who flat out towers over 5'8'' Glenn as we see.
Jason said on 22/Aug/07
Shamrock was no heavier in his wrestling days than pre-wrestling in the UFC. He checked in at 215-220 back in the day. I would say Ortiz is actually no more than 6'1'' flat ... they very frequently exaggerate height in MMA, also.
dave said on 22/Aug/07
Well Ortiz is a legit 6'2'' (probably a little over) and he has 2.5/3 inches MAX on Shamrock.
Jason said on 22/Aug/07
dave says on 21/Aug/07
''Alex - Shamrock is just a smidge under 6'0''. The guy was nearly 240 pounds in his wrestling days, and with a ripped physique. It would be impossible for a 5'10'' guy to be that. Stop trying to downgrade everyone.''
Alex is right. It's because the announced weights are a work, not because Shamrock is nudging 6'0''.

Albi said on 15/Aug/07
CroCop is obviously 6'1, but that -1cm on Liddell I cannot understand. Rob has this bad habit of cutting 1cm out of a lot of people's heights which isn't good for his credibility. If Glenn says 6'2, then maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave it at 6'2. Against Ortiz he looked same height. Against Jackson he also looked the same because he would duck a lot, but when he stretched out he was clearly taller. He may very well be 187, its just that without a good proof this downgrade seems biased.
Franco said on 26/Jul/07
kick ass picture (2nd one) :D
Glenn looks like : "do you want a sandwich?" LOL
Chuck reply : "I'm going to eat you" :D
to be honest he actually looks 186cm not 187cm but the 1st picture he is stretching and pulling his head high looking 188cm.
Chuck is 186cm

Tito is listed at 6'2" but the weird thing is during a UFC All Access he says he is 6'3".
MD said on 22/Jul/07
Alex,
It's funny how much they overlist these guys, huh? I've seen Shamrock listed from 5'11" to 6'1", but most of the time the latter. lol
Shamrock Fan said on 22/Jul/07
Hi Alex,
If you check out Ken Shamrock's own homepage his height is 5'11". I believe this is accurate.
Alex said on 20/Jul/07
Tito Ortiz was no more than 6'0 compared to 5'10 Ken Shamrock.
Ace said on 18/Jul/07
Tito is about an inch taller than Chuck. Randy, whos definitly 6'1" (pros vs. joes and after seeing the majority of his fights) and chuck are both the same height. Chuck is closer to 6'1" if anything. He looks 6'1" with Glenn. I do realize that i am talking about a half of an inch just in case any of u think i am crazy.
Chris said on 16/Jul/07
well, It's difficult for professional models and athletes to lie about their heights. As for UFC, just look at their weigh-ins before fights. You can only go over 1~2lb(s), and if any more than that, you need to cut weights like right away. I watched Liddell VS Jackson II(whose billed height is 6'1), and he DOES have about an inch or two over him. besides, 6'2 is 188cm, how can you tell that 1cm difference? I'd say he's a legit 6'2. oh, and I'm sure Mccarthy is over 6'2, because Tito Ortiz is a huge(big-boned) 6'2 and Mccarthy still towers over him.(like 3 inches) anyway, Chuck is 6'2.
Editor Rob
there are just as many, if not slight more 6ft 1.5 guys in this world than 6ft 2. The UFC only list in even inches so lots of erroneous listings will exist. Probably half of them out by 1/2 inch.
mma fan said on 9/Jul/07
vow, there is another MMA fan, but I am the original one, looooool, kidding. Ian BJM looks around 6'3 to me.J-Dog list the fighters that you wanna talk about, then we discuss about their height.

has anyone got a pick of chuck with the referee "big" john mccarthy? My mate met him the other night, got a picture with him. My mate is 6'2.5 and was bang on level with big john who the ufc have as 6'4"

UFC Fan, How the hell can you say Glenn is 5'6. If that is the case Liddell is only 5'11.5. Stop arguing against yourself b/c your saying chuck is 6'2 which would put Glenn at 5'8 or 5'9.

yo: Crocop is 6'1, if that much. he was a fraction taller then 6' Fedor when they fought in Pride (

Click Here). not the best angle, but you can't tell Josh is taller.

i figured the staredown would be good fun.
J-Dog said on 22/Jun/07
Chuck Liddell is a strong 6'2" if anyone has seen him in anything else besides this picture you would agree he has never looked anything below 6'2" ever. I would guess he is slightly above 6'2" as in 6'2.25" et cetera.
Maybe possibly 6'1.5" but people forget Chuck doesn't care about his posture and is usually slumping.

chuck is a true 6'2 glen looks more like 5'6 and 5'7
Bleemo said on 21/Jun/07
When UFC first started out before it went mainstream Ken Shamrock was always billed at 181 cm which is potentially his real height. The reason I remember this is because this discussion came up before about UFC guys going over to WWE and get their heights exaggerated. I do think that his wide build made him look a little shorter then he really is.
The UFC has definately became more showy now though.
glenn said on 21/Jun/07
chee-you know everything.your right,im 5-6.and for starts,lidell is 6-2.not 6-1.thank you tom.how ya been?
Texas Tom said on 20/Jun/07
Chuck looks in the neighborhood of 6-2 to me. And, Chee, Glenn is for sure 5-8. I am 5-8 & 1/2 in the evening, and when we met, we were virtually the same height.
Derek said on 20/Jun/07
Chee- I see 5" tops. 6'1" and 5'8" respectively.
Chee said on 20/Jun/07
Met him in Vegas 3 times. He's 6' 1". He's taller than Glenn by 6" easy. You should measure Glenn, he isnt 5' 8"
Jason said on 19/Jun/07
I used to completely believe MMA listings (well, most) once upon a time and thought Shamrock really was 6'0''. I still remember my Mum commenting, watching a fight, that he didn't look 6'0''... lol
Anonymous said on 19/Jun/07
I'd say Shamrock is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5'10-5'11.5. I think his build makes him look shorter than he really is.
Alex said on 19/Jun/07
Shamrock is 5'10 I think.
Frank said on 19/Jun/07
They list Ken Shamrock at 6ft 1 and there is no way he is that tall he was shorter than Brett Hart who is 5ft 11 to 6ft

Chuck is my cousin actually and he is definitely 6'2. my brother is 6'1 and chuck is slightly taller.

Hey Halb, it was the same thing in the Franklin/Okami fight this weekend. Okami is listed as 6'2 and Franklin 6'1; but Okami had about 2-3 inches on Franklin. I think UFC inflates heights and Pride does not. Another example is Anderson Silva. Listed as 5'11 in Pride and towered "5'11" Chris Leben in his first fight in UFC. Then all of the sudden was 6'2 for his fight vs. Rich Franklin.
Halb said on 18/Jun/07
I watched the one inManc a feww weeks ago...Both Cro Cop and Gabriel were listed at 6'2. Yet there was at least a 1inch diff between them then they stood head to head.

Man, chuck is getting smaller. He was much Wider and much more muscular before
Jason said on 17/Jun/07
I'd say he must have been, Bobbe, to be nice enough to pose for two photos, with one being a face-off lol. Pretty kool. Comparing him to Glenn, he certainly doesn't look under 6'1''.
Anonymous said on 17/Jun/07
I definitely think they inflate heights but not weights. awhile back, UFC's official site had everyone's heights a couple inches less than what they bill then what they list them for PPV fights. For example: Matt Hughes was 5'7 & GSP was 5'8 (Listed as 5'9 & 5'10 respectively PPV). They've since changed it to match with their PPV heights. Oh, my friend met Josh Koscheck and said he was 5'8 tops as well. he's billed as 5'10. i do think Chuck is 6'1-6'2 so they don't inflate everyone.
Anonymous said on 17/Jun/07

6'1 or 6'2 seems right. can't wait for Wanderlei Silva to kick his ass.
Anonymous said on 17/Jun/07
They definitely round heights (you don't see guys listed with the 1/2 inch), but I imagine UFC would get in trouble with NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission) if they inflated guys' heights and/or reach more than a fraction of an inch, as that impacts betting.
Derek said on 16/Jun/07
Looks closer to 6'1", but nothing under that.

UFC is pretty good about billing their fighters according to actual proportions. They're not interested in freak shows like the WWE and will usually have heights rounded off to the nearest 1/2 inch and weight to 1/2 a pound.
