An analysis of all UFC championship bouts in which one fighter held a height advantage of ten centimeters or more shows shorter fighters winning 31 to 29 overall. The edge for shorter fighters is even more pronounced in lighter weight classes, where they lead 20 to 9, and among strikers in those divisions the margin stands at 12 to 7. Alexander Volkanovski went 6-0 in title fights against opponents taller by 12 centimeters or more, while Israel Adesanya posted a 6-0 record against fighters shorter by at least ten centimeters in his weight class.
