UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and NBA champion Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray are used to being at a size disadvantage in their respective sports. Standing at 5-foot-6, Volkanovski typically finds himself matched against fighters a few inches taller. On the basketball court, Murray may typically be guarded by someone close to his 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, but will have to deal with defenders over seven feet tall on a regular basis. No matter the height difference, Volkanovski has the advantage of knowing each opponent has to fit into his weight class, while Murray doesn’t have that luxury.
