How this country is compiled

Every published fighter this site files under MMA — Brazil — 278 of them. Membership is stated by the source, never assigned to fill a cohort.
Reach advantage is (reach − height) ÷ height as a percentage, so fighters of different sizes compare directly.
Medians, not means — one outlier should not move the typical figure.
A cohort is only published at 30 fighters or more. Below that a median is a rumour, so no page is emitted and nothing links to one.

reach advantage = (reach − height) ÷ height × 100
