all the top guys at lw are 5'9+ though, rda, eddie, benson, khabib, cowboy, gil, hell i just read fergunson is 6'0
those 3 are definitely lanky though
Pretty sure whatever the rest of those guys are, Nate and Cowboy are at least one or two inches taller. But yeah I don't think with Pettis it's as much of a height thing as it is a strength and wrestling technique thing. He has no wrestling background, and supposedly he also cuts very little weight to make 155, so he's almost guaranteed to get outmuscled by some of these other guys. He's got alot of work to do man, I really think he should go the Conor route and step down to 145 and fight smaller guys while he works on his wrestling. I doubt he will though because he's had success at 155 and was the champ, he might see it as taking a step back, but I think it'd be great for his career.
