The UFC’s tale of the tape comes directly from boxing, showing nationality, age, height, weight, and reach.

However, an MMA-specific addition is coming: Leg reach, as measured from the hipbone to the heel. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan has long called for just such and addition. Mike Bohn has the story for MMAJunkie.

I think it’s a real positive for the sport, said FightMetric live statistics producer and research analyst Michael Carroll. It could be a really interesting measurable, and I think it’s long overdue.

We know what arm reach is, we know what a sizable discrepancy is in arm reach. Jon Jones with his 84.5 versus, say, Dan Henderson with 76. That’s a huge difference. But what’s a huge difference in leg reach? I have no idea. It’s going to take a little while on the analytical side of things to figure out what’s a good length in proportion to what weight class you’re in and what’s a sizable discrepancy. A sizable discrepancy in leg reach might be much smaller than arm reach.

It’s far too early to tell, but if there’s a way a fighter can maximize the way that he lands kicks and minimize the way his opponent lands kicks in any way that has to do with their reach, they’re going to look like absolutely striking geniuses.”

Another overdue figure is the weight at which a fighter enters the cage. What other numbers would you like to see?
