I dont know why they do that! most fighters height is overstated…Dan is 2 inches shorter than his listed height. Randy has claimed he is close to 6′1 and not 6′2 listed. Chuck is listed as 6′2, and I think thats accurate. I’m 6ft. and when I met him he was about 2 inches taller…very interesting

Hendo trained in Big Bear’s high altitude for the first time getting ready for the Silva fight. He said it screwed up his body.

Palhares’ status as a BJJ badass had nothing to do with his submission win over Salavery. He was long considered one of the best BJJ masters at 185 prior to being signed by the UFC. that’s actually why the UFC signed him–because he could threated A.Silva.

the UFC typically inflates a fighter’s record. I don’t know why, but they’ve always done that.

also, most fighters i’ve spoken with say that their “official record” as listed on most websites does not include a lot of their earlier fights from smaller venues.

in a lot of cases, their actual record probably exists on a fine line somewhere in between what’s listed as their “official record” and what the UFC has listed.

Not necessarily. I know that people get jumped in the ghetto all of the time but you don’t see Kimbo Slice being the toughest in MMA.

Dan doesn’t sound that excited with UFC…man if I was them I would be keeping Hendo real happy so that he doesn’t jump ship.

so u could tell that Dan wasn’t 6′1 compared to A.Silva 6′2 when they fought.. I heard that Wanderlei Silva is 5′9 also..

definitely gotta give pride fighters an edge on toughness due to head stomps, soccer kicks, etc. rules were much more brutal in pride
