(ufc) where do they measure from and where to?

Question

to find out a persons reach? some guys are taller with shorter arms some guys are shorter with longer arms! do they mesure from your arm pit, from your chest ect.. to your finger tips or to your knukles when you make a fist.. if you don't know or want to say something that doesn't answer my Q tell some one else!

Answer 1

from shoulder to outstretched arm(end of fingertips)

not a 100 %

Answer 2

stand upright with your arms pointing stright out to the side, parallel to the floor.

stretch you arms out to the fullest extent.

measure from the very end of your fingertip all the way to the other fingertip.

thats your reach.

its misleading cuz guys with broad shoulders with have inflated reach because it measure across the body as well as the length of the arms.

the distance from fingertip to fingertip is usually pretty close to your height.  try it.
