Brezt Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'd love it if we knew those kind of stats for our Tycoon fighters. Well reach would be intresting but you should have some benefits to it same as some bad effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Long legs should be weak TDD, while having good knees to head and high kicks, while short legs should be good for takedown offense and defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brezt Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I would like to see Jon Jones leg reach compared to other fighters leg reach in the divison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockg Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 "Guys, you have to understand. I've rolled with this guy and his legs are unbelievable. I mean like nylon wearing, sexyama, turn me into a store bought food eater legs! HE IS THE NEXT JON JONES!!!! LEGS! LEGS! KICK! TAEKWONDO! JIU JITSU! LEGS OF A GOD!! SO LONG I ALMOST SWITCHED SIDES!!!" Oh sorry I went full Rogan. (I love Joe, but he loves his kickies) Who gives a shit about leg reach? Reach is overrated except in a few instances. Mr. Jones being the most exceptional fighter using length (punches, kicks, elbows, knees) that we've seen. Reach and kick length are relatively small factors for most fighters. If you have long legs but they don't retract fast, get ready to get dumped on your head. If you have short legs and you go for body/head, good luck with that unless they are bent over from exhaustion. If you don't know how to close the gap, all of the above doesn't matter because you will get smacked up by a longer fighter. If you know they are long, that long fighter is probably going to get pummeled in clinch or grounded, or will be weak in exchanges/get punished on their long joints. There are too many factors, and length just isn't the end all be all people make it out to be. It is important in Boxing, but this is MMA: where Cormier can dominate HW and then lose at LHW, all while haveing less size and reach of a lot of 185ers. Reach is great to assess, but most fighters don't use it right. Its almost like KO Power in a way; effective, underutilized and neutralized by a good gameplan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want hand size, toenail lenght and boob size next! On a more serious note, I find all these stats irrelevant not only because they're so partial with information but mostly because of the measuring standards involved. How many times have you seen the guy with the higher height value being so much shorter than his opponent? The only physical stats I would be interested would be weight values at the weigh in and just before stepping in the cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 More info is good I guess... Dunno where they are measuring this to though... Foot to "inner thigh"? Torrelio is right in a lot of instances unfortunately - the measuring leaves a lot to be desired on too many occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
