    Half the guys at the top are like 6’5+ (Zhang, Hrgovic, Dubois, Joyce, Bakole) and Parker is 6’4 on paper. So yeah overall they’re overrepresented, there are supposed to be way more 6’3 guys than 6’5 guys in the world but look at the top 10 list and there are more guys 6’5+ than 6 to 6’3

    As I said, Dubois is barely taller than uysk, there’s no way he’s 6’5. Same goes for Parker, who isn’t much if at all taller than Dillon Whyte, another dude who lies about his height.

    You’re right Dubois looks about an inch taller
