here is alistair just moments after getting the shit beaten out of him by shogun. his trainers were bitching something like "these chute boxe guys are some tough sobs, relentless, killing machines, they must be into something (i.e.: steroids)". Whata bunch of cry babies. Sent to the hospital by a guy 5 inches shorter than him.
sometimes height advantage can work against you in a fight...
height can actually have strength disadvantages in regards to levers, leverage, center of gravity, etc.
all things equal, fighting someone shorter is harder than figthing someone taller, especially if its around 6" or so.
seen a lot of fighters press an altercation when toe to toe with someone taller, funny thing same couple guys tried to avoid a fight when faced with someone shorter with equal skill,,, didnt make much sense back then but time teaches
