Mixed martial artist, Megan Anderson is hands down the biggest female fighter in the history of UFC, the closest other female fighters to her size are either Holly Holm and Germaine De Randamie - who are still several inches below her.
UFC lists Megan at an impressive 6" but we all know (don't we?) that UFC has a bad history of inflating their fighters' height - It is questionable that they even measure their fighters' height - not as far as we know. Though Megan Anderson is legitimately huge - she made Amanda Nunes look really short in their face-off, who is just under 5'7" in real life.
After looking and comparing Megan to people like Amanda Nunes (5'6.5"), Chris Hemsworth (6'3"), Dana White (5'10.5"), and many others we think she is just under the 6" mark - so still no competition to Gabi Garcia - the mother of all female fighters - at least size-wise.
The real height of Megan Anderson is 5'11" or 178 cm

Data painstakingly extracted more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. Expect up to half an inch of discrepancy from real life. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height.
