Fighters should be around the same HEIGHT for it to be fair

volkanovski has the solution

Used well height is a huge advantage…but elite short guys spend a lifetime fighting taller guys and have to know how to negotiate height disadvantages.

I am 5’7.

It’s easier to learn how to use height against shorter opponents than vice versa.
If it were easier, shorties would rule the gym.
Reach is a paradigm of superiority, it’s simply an advantage, just like power or endurance.

In all fairness Max would beat Shogun

It mattered when Jones landed that kick on DC. DC would not have been able to land a high kick on him.

It would have mattered for Volk as well if Islam met him with a knee every time Volk closed the distance.

Look at Prochazka landing a knee on his shorter opponent like fucking Shao Kahn.

Yoel Romero vs Sean Omalley would be epic
