Feb 9, 2025
Summary
Taller UFC fighters have an advantage in reach, making it easier to land jabs and teep kicks from a distance.
The tallest fighter currently in the UFC made a splash on his debut by winning in just a matter of seconds.
Three reigning UFC champions make the top 18.
There have been many monstrously tall UFC fighters to step into the cage over the years. From Kendall Grove to Stefan Struve, fighters that tower well above six-foot-tall have found plenty of success inside the Octagon, with many making full use of their athletic gifts to dominate their opposition.
At time of writing, there are currently 18 fighters under contract to the UFC who stand at six foot, four inches or more. Below, they have each been ranked according to their height. When a tie exists, we have used their official reach to break it.
Whether it's bamboozling foes with a reach advantage or making use of longer limbs to lock in devastating submissions, a number of these larger-than-life fighters have made a real impression inside the Octagon.
