Working out Reach

[Simmonds2Hislop]

Hey guys

I don't ussually post on this board but wanted to know how they work out the reach of the fighters,

Is it just their wingspan? Or do they take into account length of legs due to kicking?

Wingspan seems about right.

EDIT: MMA/UFC. I forgot to specify that.

Lol no, they don't take legs into account. Although, maybe that's why Jon Jones' reach is so ridiculous...

Yep, measured from the tips of the fingers at 90 degrees out from the body.
