How this is worked out
- Every bantamweight MMA fighter in the dataset with both a reach and a height recorded.
- Reach advantage is (reach − height) ÷ height as a percentage.
- Medians, not means — one 7-foot outlier should not move the division's typical figure.
Reach advantage = (reach − height) ÷ height × 100
