How this division is compiled
- Every published fighter this site files under flyweight MMA — 151 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

What this cohort does and does not say
- How many flyweight MMA fighters have a reach on record?
- 82 of 151. Reach is stated in the English Wikipedia infobox for those and absent for the rest, so every reach figure on this page — including the median — describes only the 82. It is not extrapolated to the others.
- What does the median reach advantage mean for flyweight MMA?
- That the typical flyweight MMA fighter's reach exceeds their height by 1.51% of that height. It is a ratio rather than a raw span, so it compares directly against any other cohort on this site — which a reach in inches does not. Half of these fighters are above it and half below; it is not a standard or a target.
