How many 1990s MMA fighters have a reach on record?

14 of 95. 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 14. It is not extrapolated to the others.

Why do some decades have no page here?

A decade is published only where at least 30 fighters belong to it. Below that a median is a rumour, so no page is emitted and nothing links to one. A fighter's decade is also measured, not estimated — it is the decade holding more of their dated bouts than any other, and a fighter with fewer than three dated bouts belongs to no decade at all.

How this era is compiled

Every published fighter this site files under 1990s MMA — 95 of them. Membership is stated by the source, never assigned to fill a cohort.
The decade is MEASURED, not projected: it is the decade holding more of a fighter's dated bouts than any other. A fighter with fewer than three dated bouts has no decade here and appears in no era cohort.
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
