When you have a long reach, that means you can probe and test your opponents more without getting exposed easily. Sometimes, the long-reach fighters need to sacrifice explosiveness for power, but one good hit and it lights out for your opponent. Just look at what Conor McGregor did in his prime. Seeing the striking benefits of a longer reach is easy, but how about grappling? First of all, it helps you immensely with your takedown defense.
Keeping your opponent at a distance means they have to shoot in to close the gap and take you down. This is less by almost 2. Can't wait for the rematch between Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski. It was apparent when the two fighters faced each other in the octagon that Volkanovski had the reach advantage merely on paper.
This discrepancy can be attributed to the incorporation of shoulder-width while calculating the reach of a fighter. Also, outstretching the hands can result in inaccurate measurements.
UFC fighters punch with their fists closed, and so, rather than measuring from fingertip to fingertip, reach should be measured from fist to fist. The body proportions and height are metrics that need to be carefully considered while calculating reach. Leg reach of a fighter also depends on these metrics and so to only consider the length of the legs of a fighter would lead to imprecise results.
The 'Tale of the Tape' for any bout contains 'reach' as one of the traits for comparing two fighters. Hold your arm parallel to the floor as it crosses over your body and then repeat the exercise with your other arm. This provides a good stretch for both your arms and shoulders, which helps you to maximize your reach.
Part 2. Stand with your back flat against the wall and your shoulders straight. Stand up as straight as you can and make sure that your feet are flat on the ground. Position your heels against the wall so that your back lightly touches the wall. Check that your shoulders aren't hunched forward or pulled back and that they are resting comfortably. Lift your arms up to create a straight line from your shoulders to your elbows and aim to get both of your arms at a right angle to your body.
Make sure that your arms are parallel with the floor and that your shoulders feel loose and relaxed. Alternatively, stand in front of a mirror while you are measuring your reach so that you can check your posture.
Face your palms to the wall and align your fingers with your elbows. Turn the backs of your hands so they face outward. Look to each side and check that you can see a straight line connecting your middle fingers and your elbows. Make any necessary adjustments to your position if you need to. Stretch your arms as far as possible while maintaining this position. Keep your back and arms straight, and your elbows aligned. Stretch outward along the wall starting with your shoulders and then with your elbows.
Try to stretch your arms as wide as possible so that you get the best measurement of your reach. Part 3. Get your friend to mark the points that your middle fingers reach on the wall.
Your friend needs to use a piece of chalk or a pencil to make the markings on the wall. Ensure that the points where your middle fingers hit the wall are measured and not any other fingers, as otherwise, this will give an inaccurate result.
Measure the distance between the 2 points on the wall. Use a tape measure to measure straight against the wall. Start at the first marking that your friend made and measure directly to the second marking. Make sure that the tape measure isn't angled or twisted while you are using it, as this may give an inaccurate result. The measurement is your reach. Record your reach in the appropriate units. It's important to record your reach straight away in case you forget it!
Write it down on a piece of paper or record it on a device like a smartphone or a laptop.

Korean Zombie is also listed as 5'7 with a 72 inch reach, but his real stats are reportedly 5'9 with a One factor that over values ape index is finger length, because wingspan is measured fingertip to fingertip.
Since striking is generally done with a closed fist. Fighters with large hands, more specifically long fingers may read very long, but if you measure from the begininng edge armpit to the middle knuckle of a closed fist as they stick their arm out, will give a more accurate portrait of reach advantage.
Thanks Arioch. However ape index doesn't only take reach into consideration. It compares height to reach. For instance, Alexander Gustafsson has a long reach of 79" but stands at 6'5" tall. If we subtract his height from his reach, we find out has a positive ape index of only 2" despite his long reach. So height is also a critical factor. A long arm span or reach is an important physical attribute in boxing. A good percentage of boxing champions have enjoyed a significant reach advantage over most of their opponents.
The UFC has introduced leg reaches in their tale of the tape. Though not crucial, they can still have a slight influence on how a fight will play out.
NBA teams place a great emphasis on the wingspan of their players, and some believe a long wingspan can even offset any disadvantage in height. Hand size is important for a quarterback. Nearly every play has the quarterback handling the ball, and small hands mean less ball control.

There are surely players who can succeed despite having short arms, but they're more the exception than the rule.
Hand-eye coordination is an important skill but is often underrated in most sports. In sports, it's used from start to finish. It's essential for all athletes to possess strong hand-eye coordination.
