brodequin222 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 He is listed as 6'1 but i have a hard time believing that with pics of him next to Cristiano Ronaldo who is also listed at 6'1 and if that height is correct than Cain looks like he may even be 5'11 1/2. Anyone have an opinion on this? or seen him up close? How tall do you think he is Thank you!

BART-O-LINI Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 These heights for fighters can be controversial. If you look at Anderson Silvas early fights in the ufc, it lists him at 5'10. He is 6'2. Leonard Garcia is listed at 5'10, and he is no taller than 5'7. Not sure if ufc actually measures them, or they just take the fighters word. But, this goes for all sports.

Yesterdays_Hero Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I remember hearing somewhere that the UFC literally takes the fighters word when asked for their height. This would explain 6ft 5 Shane Carwin when in reality he is a weak manlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontline_Rioter Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Lesnar is listed at 6'3" and it looked liked he had 3 inches on Velasquez. It doesn't really matter 6 even 240 lbs is enough to keep that strap. He could be a bully and cut weight to take Jones belt but his training partner is going to straighten that out soon enough.

Sisti Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 yeah, that happens in a lot of sports where fighters list their heights differently than what they really are. the biggest culprit ever was pro wrestling where they'd list someone like hulk hogan 6'7" or something when he was more like 4 inches under that. the same with giants because that was part of the gimmick. if i had to guess, i'd say cain was 5'11" and i think they exaggerate because they like the idea of selling their best overall fighter as over 6 foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth388 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 yeah, that happens in a lot of sports where fighters list their heights differently than what they really are. the biggest culprit ever was pro wrestling where they'd list someone like hulk hogan 6'7" or something when he was more like 4 inches under that. the same with giants because that was part of the gimmick. if i had to guess, i'd say cain was 5'11" and i think they exaggerate because they like the idea of selling their best overall fighter as over 6 foot Hogan was listed as tall as 6'9" early in his career, which is absolutely laughable. Andre the Giant was another guy that was listed at as much as 7'4", but when he faced Hogan at Wrestlemania 3, he appeared to be just 4-5 inched taller than the Hulkster. Also, Jorge Gonzalez being billed at 8'0", but was only (!) 7'6"-7'7". Moral of the story: pro wrestling statistics are not to be believed.

rodrodMMA92 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ronaldo was wearing cleats and spikes his hair. Cain is like 6'5" on a good day just like Carwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit being a smart@*$ between his height and cain there would be 3 inches only. IF he's saying that it's because he could see that cain was indeed taller then himself which would be barely noticeable with less than 2 inches differences. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
