Strange comment. It has nothing to do with genetics; it's about social priorities/status and how certain places maximize human capital. It's the same reason that certain U.S. cities and regions produce great basketball players, others great wrestlers, others great football players, etc.Proof that genetics > all
Where would you put him?I don´t agree with khamzat being placed 4th

In any event, I always thought that Russia (and the surrounding region) would eventually take over mma. It always made sense given their focus/prowess inn wrestling and sambo.

Top 4 P4P:
1. Ilia Topuria (Georgia)
2. Islam Makhachev (Dageatan)
3. Merab Dvalishvili (Georgia)
4. Khamzat Chimaev (Chechnya)
Agree, should be lower with zero defenses and only two ranked wins.I don´t agree with khamzat being placed 4th

There´s fighters from anywhere. Your stats are selective. They are big on wrestling and Khabib inspired them to do MMA. Where was 1 UFC signed caucass fighter let alone champ 10 years ago ?What's the reason why people of West African descent produce better sprinters?

And no, South + Southeast Asia will likely never produce a UFC champ despite their massive population for the same reason I listed above.
Nice American cope as usual. „it‘s because murrkans don‘t care about MMA“. Yeah sure. Honestly in terms of mentality and culture Caucasus+Stans are simply more fit for MMA, always have been but now they have arrived.Just wait until you see an explosive A-level athlete in mma. Too bad UFC pays so little, or we would see the best genetic athletes destroying everyone. The closest we have come is the weakest brother of 2 NFL players and he is already the GOAT. Could you imagine if jon jones’ more athletic brothers did mma? They would no doubt be even better than jones, they literally beat jones up growing up. Jones had to go into a niche sport (at the time) and he dominated. Hopefully the UFC pays more so the talent pool gets better.
That s the whole point, now they re here. And unless UFC cuts them or stop signing them they will dominate most divisions forever.There´s fighters from anywhere. Your stats are selective.
