    Spread arms out to each side and measure finger tip to finger tip

      I agree with mtnmedic but now they do measure from armpit to fingertip or armpit to closed fist to ensure they get an accurate measure of reach in case an athlete has a wide upper body.

          Those numbers are arms spread tip to tip.

            in ufc when they say there reach its tip to tip, which should usually be your hight. So, you can tell if a fighter has a above or below average reach if its higher or lower than there hight. Ex, a 6' fighter should have ~ a 72" reach.

              But that is what they still use in the UFC, right?
