But you guys got to remember, Sweden still has his rods in ... could be a different story, possibly slight improvement in terms of mobility and also aches might or might not be still present.

You are already 33 years old and hoping to reach UFC level at 35-40. This plan is even without LL. If you are about 40, your career as a UFC fighter (perhaps any MMA fighter) is done. Only few legendary fighters can continue competition over 40. If you can't reach UFC before 35 or so, you will be much better off to find some other jobs.
That being said, if you do even LL, it will definitely slow down your career for UFC, at least like 2 years or much more. In this scenario, I don't see much time left for you to continue being a UFC fighter, even if you somehow make into UFC. You'd better focus on either UFC or LL and choose your career or life.
Good luck!
I don't know how you got the idea that I'm 33.

But, I made it in to the pro’s. I think my lower ability of today is still far greater than the average Joe.
I’m still the fastest in our Team when running 6km. Maybe that says a lot about the younger generation more then me. =)
Left knee still ache today. It is a minor challenge to stand up from sitting down bc of the soreness. But that’s the name of the game.
20% is quite a lot actually. The increase in height is worth the loss in athleticism.
We can improvise our style in a way that doesn't emphasize on muscle strength, such as BJJ.

That's a valid theory. Maybe 20% becomes 10% without rods.

Yes, it hurts more and knees ache and tendons can be stiff. I need to fight smarter today than I used to.
It was truly the greatest feeling winning my first big tournament after LL. Now I compete worldwide - again. =)
I ran 8km yesterday, went to the gym and fought several sparring matches in the evening.
Today I’m pretty sore. Left knee ache more than right. I was able to run to catch the train this morning - that felt a lot, but it was possible.
You’re safer doing maximum 5cm on tibias. I did 7. Not a great idea!!
What about 5 cm on femurs (im 24 y/o right now and 178 cm)
it will be very cool to have a heigt increase and get back to normal conditions
Quote from: Bruce Wayne on November 14, 2019, 05:11:24 AMWould you elaborate? Based on your own LL experience, would you say that you will lose significant athleticism?
the thing is not the broken bones themselves. they just heal and become as strong as before even stronger sometimes regardless of being stretched. The main compromise comes due to the stretched muscles and ligaments. ll done within 10% of the initial length or in rare cases 15% of it, would definetely allow you to return athletic abilities as before but most of the people do it for cosmetic reasons and they go over these threshholds.
Although alot of muscle weakness that comes from stretched muscles can be negated through great nutrition and muscle training in gym over 1-2 years but then again there is also another problem that is of balance. Im not saying your balance in everyday activities will be effected. One would only feel balancing a problem if he was competing in competitive sports with other athletes. This is mostly because 1, ur body was not used to the new centre of gravity and new position it balances now suddenly and secondly the proportions of other limbs cause a slight mismatch.
That is why I said probably not. You wont be effected in you everyday activities, normal jogging/running doing regular sports even. But competitive sports, you will definetely loose the edge.

then get your body used to it?
Dude you need a reality check. If you're not ufc level right now what makes you so confident you can go that level basically handicapped in a young men sport? Are you delusional?
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Quid pro quo.
