Question
How do they measure reach in the ufc?
HI Jason,
My own person belief is that is from the underarm (where arm joins the shoulder) to the tip of the middle finger. But their are several ways to do it. I don't follow the UFC, and I am not sure how they do it, but it is probably similiar to boxing.
here is a few links on that they may help you
