This is just in MMA. A short-reach hard hitter can make a better living in boxing than in MMA.

Mike Tyson (5'10" 71" reach) got into a real street fight with pro-heavyweight boxer Mitch Green (6'5" 240-lb 82" reach). Word is that Mitch tried to inimidate Tyson, sucker punched him and tried to rough him up.

Tyson knocked him out and broke his face.
