There's already been a thread about it a couple of months ago.

"Tallest ufc fighter - 6'8, gan mcgee"

Great research department. SEMMY SCHILT.

4

Semmy is in the 7 Foot Range, but isn't Giant Silva 7'5" or something?

5

Schilt is 6'11", and beat Pete Williams and lost to Barnett in the UFC.

6

"(IMO Giant Silva isn't an actual fighter) "

Um, OK. You don't have to like him, but he has MMA Fights and that Fact can't be changed.

Semmy has been in the UFC hasn't he?

7

gan is 6 8

ane that would be tied with current UFC champ tim sylvia

and hong man choi I think would be the tallest mma fighter at what, 7 2? he's taller than giant silva though I think who is 7 1 or 7 2

8

that sucks it's only UFC

maybe they feel it's more legit or regulated because of the nsac

also I have always had a beef with people saying "heavyweight titles won"

it's heavyweight title defenses

there's a big difference

9

also, I think technically the biggest UFC fighter would have been emmanuel yarbrough 6 8 610 pounds

*sorry for all the consecutive posts on this thread

"also, I don't think Schilt has fought in the UFC"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah That is priceless.

ElMac was correct. TUF noob....LOLOLOL

Sorry, didn't see the other thread about it...does look like some ufc propaganda tho.

I'd have thought it would be that way already, but hopefully with the recent increase in popularity we'll see all inclusive, accurate "mma" listings & records soon.

Ultimate fighting. shakes head Jesus.
