Now, you know, when it comes to the UFC, fighters come in all sizes. But today, we’re talking ‘bout them tall ones in the welterweight division. You know, not them big heavyweights, but the ones that still pack a punch. Now, some folks think, “Oh, them fighters all the same size!” But nah, that ain’t true. Some welterweights stand tall like them trees, while others be shorter, but we ain’t talkin’ ‘bout them short ones today. Let me tell you who’s the tallest among them welterweights.
Neil Magny, now that’s a name you gotta remember. He’s one of the tallest fellas in the welterweight division. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches, that’s pretty tall for a guy weighing ‘round 170 pounds. Now, I don’t know about you, but that’s a lot of height to deal with in a fight. Magny, he’s been in the UFC for a good while now, fightin’ all them tough guys. He uses that long reach and tall frame to keep them shorter guys at a distance. It’s like tryin’ to punch up at a tree sometimes! And let me tell ya, he ain’t slow either. Magny can move, and with that height, he got a good view of what’s comin’ at him.
But Max Griffin, now he ain’t as tall as Magny, but he stands at a good 6 feet. That’s about the average height for a welterweight in the UFC. But even though he’s average in height, he ain’t average in fightin’. You don’t need to be the tallest to be the best, but it sure helps sometimes, ya know?
Now, let’s talk ‘bout someone even taller. You got this fella, Matthew Semelsberger. He’s 6 feet 2 inches tall, which makes him one of the bigger boys in this division. That height gives him a bit of an advantage when it comes to reach, and you know them taller fellas can sometimes keep them punches from landin’ too easy. He’s had his fair share of fights in the UFC, and that height helps him in the octagon. It’s like havin’ an extra weapon, but you gotta know how to use it right, else them shorter fighters will get inside and mess you up.
Now, I ain’t gonna forget Randy Brown. He’s right up there too, standin’ tall at 6 feet 3 inches. You can see them legs and arms stretchin’ out, makin’ it real hard for his opponents to get close. Them tall fighters like Randy, they always know how to make the best outta their size. He’s got them long limbs to strike from a distance, and that helps him stay safe while dishin’ out damage to the other fella.
There’s also Jason Witt, but he’s on the shorter side, around 5 feet 10 inches. Now, he might not be one of the tallest, but he knows how to fight them tall fellas. That’s the thing ‘bout UFC, height ain’t everything. You gotta have heart, and Witt’s got plenty of it.
Sean Brady, now he ain’t as tall either, comin’ in at about 5 feet 10 inches like Witt, but he’s a tough one. He’ll fight anyone, tall or short. Sometimes, these shorter guys know how to handle the tall ones, and you gotta respect that. It ain’t all ‘bout height when you’re in the cage.
So, to sum it up, when you look at the welterweight division, you got all kinds of heights. But the tallest ones, like Neil Magny, Randy Brown, and Matthew Semelsberger, they stand out not just ‘cause they’re tall, but ‘cause they know how to use that height. And it ain’t just about standin’ tall, it’s about fightin’ smart. The welterweight division might not have the giants like them heavyweights, but these tall fellas, they still pack a punch. And that’s what makes the UFC so excitin’, you never know what you’re gonna get in that cage.
Next time you’re watchin’ a fight, keep an eye out for them tall welterweights. They might just surprise ya with what they can do!
