Stay strong my fellow short kings. DJ and Henry are some of the baddest men on the planet and both are successful. You aren't at a disadvantage due to your height unless you make it so
My Muay Thai sparring partners that give me the most strife are angry short women and guys. The Napoleon Syndrome is real when they comit those body shots
@@KRodBabay ahaha those women are givin you trouble bc you’re jus bein a gentleman. treat them like you would the men i’m fairly confident you’re pummelin them
@@STI.Ricardito One difference is, they have to fight dudes basically until late teens, because women’s Muay Thai doesn’t have nearly the following. The best woman that make it to the top, had to beat really good Nak Muay before even getting there.
I’m 6’2 and my hardest opponents to spar with , grapple with are the small guys there guard covers almost all openings and so much harder to shoot on or grab and get leverage on
First thing that comes to my mind would be the grab the back of the head with two hands and deliver a knee to the face you would be able to whip there head down with your your hands while your bringing your knee up at the same time ?
@@esketit1707 you're not looking to knee sparring partners in the head. One of the hardest things about being the taller guy in sparring is the weapons that are the best for keeping people off you aren't that effective at lower speed and power levels.
Yeah it's like the same concept of shorter guys having a smaller strike zone in baseball. In wrestling they would tell to look for picks, slide by's, arm drags, snap downs, etc. but I'm not even sure how well that translates to MMA since a lot those are set up off the collar tie, anything that's not a leg attack though basically. A lot of TD's are set up by strikes in MMA so IDK though, be interesting to hear what Henry's advice would be. Sucks getting burried and having to dig out a single on some little 4' 5" tank.
Yeah but your reach is affected by your torso, so max may have shorter arms his torso is longer, so has its own "reach" which would be longer than volk's
max has a way longer reach than people realize... he just has really narrow shoulders and UFC calls your wingspan reach... He has longer arms than volk for sure
@zydrate4069 he doesn't tho... that's one of the things he's talked about before. In a post fight interview after his Edgar fight he talked about his "T-rex arms"
Wise words guys. Just being shorter is not a disadvantage, letting it affect your confidence is. In the striking game once you get inside most of what we throw is thrown upwards against taller guys. This uses gravity to our advantage making it like uppercuts which have more impact. Plus if you're faster you can avoid his range
2 legends, Dog, I been preaching this my whole life lol I’m 5’9” everytime some who’s over 6’ gets crazy, I tell em everytime, this ain’t my first rodeo homie. N I’ll lose sometimes, don’t get me wrong, but most times I end up stompin they ass out. Don’t talk if you ain’t wit it.
I’m 5’8 some say that’s average but most men 6ft and taller will obviously call me short or say you too small and not gonna lie it cracks me up cause they just don’t know 😂😂
Bro for real I’m 5’8 and I weigh like 220. I be benching 250 for reps and doing crazy cardio. But every time I try to say anything they always say cope harder 💀 lmao
I used to get picked on young for being short later on I learned mma and it helped me not just having confidence but ways to defend myself from taller people:) much love for mma fighters/fans 🙏
Unfortunately I have to agree. Most of my difficulty especially if I was caught on my inside, was shorter powerful guys busting me up as I was struggling to adjust my targeting.
I'm 42 and only 5'2 ,growing up I had many fights in alsorts of scenarios. I loved fighting it came easily and natural. 1 of my biggest regrets is not pursuing fighting as a profession.
DC and Volkonovski are good examples of this. I wish we see more of this. Mike Tyson also is especially by todays standards short heavyweight yet I have complete confidence that in his prime he beats everyone today easily. Explosivness, quickness matter more than range and size.
Brah, Henry is the ChatGPT of MMA training. Rogan, Jon Jones, and many others, refer to him as “the best game planner and tactician in the sport.” This may seem counterintuitive to say, but it’s his ability to listen that makes him great. Even as DJ is talking right here, you see Henry focusing on listening and absorbing everything he’s saying. He’s humble enough to understand that EVERYBODY can teach you something new no matter what. You literally see it in his face when his brain is receiving and storing the information to his hard drive. It’s a beautiful thing and something that we’ve lost as a society. This takes discipline beyond belief and a non-stop dedication to not let the ego overshadow your eagerness to learn. We can ALL take huge lessons from this short clip. Especially in a time where everyone thinks they’re special and subconsciously think they know it all. Keep it up TripleC. We need you bud, this sport needs you. That warrior mentality & toughness paired with the reasons I listed above, is why you’ll go down as the 🐐 of Combat Sports. Now LFG and show the 🌎 whose the best.🙏🏼
Size doesn’t matter if the skills are in your favor…but if you have two guys who have equal skills…whoever is bigger has an advantage…this is why their is weight classes guys…
You would have to be significantly more skilled to beat a big person if you’re a small person. So if they’re untrained then maybe. Also weight classes do not exist for skill.
Yeah being shorter is beneficial but being longer and having reach is also a great advantage if you know how to use your height prime example is Obviously Jon Jones like what he did to a much shorter DC
Yep they can talk about pros of being short all day, it won't change the fact that someone taller with equal skill and similar weight to height ratio would utterly annihilate.
@zen shhh he still hasnt realised everything in the world has pros and cons and its the exploitation of said cons and usage of said pros in a warfare situation that matters, its all mental and the battle is won by the strongest mentally on the day, one day some grock 5"6 will pull his skinny bean pole arms out of their sockets and beat him with them, hell learn how much stronger and explosive we are then and how much more in control of our bodies we are than some gangly mutant looking thing that takes an extra year to fire its signls round its body.
@@Kspice9000Jones is not equal to or near the skill level of DC, that's a damn insult 😂 All Jones does is outsmart his opponents, that's how you be the best.
Can’t speak for MMA, but sparring short dudes in boxing was always such a challenge. Slipping punches felt damn near impossible with that height difference, and they could change their angles so easily and put me off-balance
You guys are the exception. You're talented enough that you're able to compensate for a reach disadvantage. The general rule still stands. For those of us with normal levels of athleticism, reach is a real factor in stand-up. No doubt shorter guys are harder to take down, though.
There are positions in grappling/BJJ/wrestling where being shorter/stockier is an advantage & positions where being taller could be, in striking when EVERYTHING (hands elbows feet knees) is allowed + you have to be concerned about takedowns & people are “the same weight” it’s also a give & take. It’s harder for a much taller striker to land a power KO shot to the chin/head for obvious reasons & a shorter fighter has to be OK w/ taking damage/risk to get on the inside, but if taller fighter is worried about a takedown too it lessens that risk then once inside body shots/upper cuts are there but in a clinch against a fence the taller fighter might be better off. Lots of give & take
The reason Max struggled is mainly because he has a terribly short reach, he always had to strike first and take risks. It’s the main reason he’s taken so much damage in his career, if he had a longer reach he might still be on that legendary win streak. Size absolutely matters in the fight game, and a fighter who knows how to use their length is an absolute nightmare. Look at every ufc champion, do want of them have a short reach relative to their division?!
For real bro. I'm 6'3 and not really heavy for my height. So everytime I compete in Judo tournaments I get matched against short and jacked dudes that are extremely hard to throw. Once the fight gets to the ground though, I have an easier time submitting them with my long limbs but other than that it's a nightmare to fight short guys in judo
First of all phenomenal series from Triple C and Mighty Mouse. Also is there an advantage since shorter fighters generally are more experienced fighting taller (or regular height) fighters at the lighter weight divisions than the other way round?
You can’t just make a sweeping claim like that. All body types have inherent advantages and disadvantages and it comes down to the skill, defense and fight IQ of the athlete and how they build their style around their strengths to mitigate their weaknesses. I’m sure you could put out a video with equally compelling arguments on why being the taller man is an advantage

Sounds like a skill issue
Your such a good role model for young blokes. Kids and women too but mainly the young lads that need direction. The world needs more males like that.
These two together gives me hope for the world.
It's not only the shortness of the individuals it is more the combination of both being short and also being stocky wide thick frame.
Using Volk vs Max as an example is hilarious. Volk is short but has a huge reach, Volk's 71 inch to Max's 69 inch. 😂
was going to post this too lol
Yeah but your reach is affected by your torso, so max may have shorter arms his torso is longer, so has its own "reach" which would be longer than volk's
Yea I was thinking this too. I think he even had a bigger reach on Islam. Volk kind of is an outlier
