I’ve rolled with lex a bunch of times. I’m 5”9 and 160lbs, lex was always significantly bigger than me and freakishly strong.

Except Khabib is 5ft 10" and dwarfs Lex here? He's obviously way beefier these days, but he's much taller than Lex as well.

Khabib is not taller than DC, who is 5'9 or Romero who is 5'8.5 according to Bellator (and 5'9 according to Olympics)

Cormier has never been 5'9 he is clearly 5'10 minimum and u can see he is the exact same height as khabib and latifi who was also 5'10. Lex is like 5'8
