Caucasus Takeover — All Top 4 P4P and half of current UFC Champions are from Kavkaz!

MMA was not big in that area before that

Their disproportionate success in wrestling and sambo is also proof of their genetic advantage.

Hope that helps!

let these people dream that if they train as hard as someone with great genetics they can become equal

reality is unfair and they can't deal with it

Ok go away casual

Inoue hits harder than him P4P and arguably Bam Rodriguez as well and they are doing it going up in weight classes, and in Bams case, going up and down.
Last guy that he Inoue didnt KO was Donaire. And when they fought again, he stopped him in 2 rounds.
Beterbiev was KOing B level opposition and at times, getting dropped by them. Inoue gets dropped too, and Bam did against Estrada who is a future HOF, but at least their opponents are guys that are at that level.
Inoue getting dropped by Luis Nery, is way more acceptable than Beterbiev getting dropped by Callum Johnson.

But when Beterbiev fought Bivol twice he didnt drop him once.
When he finally fought another elite guy, he couldnt break him down like the others.
Hes a top guy punching power wise, but I dont think hes the defacto number 1, simply because the guys he was smashing just werent at his level or really near it.

@Kovalev's "Man Bag"
I dont think you will agree with me.

What's the story here?

They are simply hunting down people for front lines. Reportedly 12 of these fighters are going to war. It seems to be repeating cycle. just check google for similiar stuff.

Sheesh, that's fucked up man. Is it like conscription I'm guessing?

 

[Karelinator]

Ilia is Abkhaz ???? WTF

Yeah, seems I've jumped the shark here. His parents fled Abkhazia, but it seems they were Georgians. I will edit that part.

 

[User9992]

not many new "talents" will come in near future due to stupidity of Russian government and their people, but its what it is.

That's immigrants from central asian countries like Uzbekistan, Tajikistan etc.

 

[User9992]

Isn't Ankalaev a caucuses fighter?

Yes. Dagestani just like Khabib and Islam. But he ain't in top 5.

 

[Hotora86]

Tribalism, or the fact it has the word “cauc” in it

I LOLd
From now on "Caucasus" is pronounced "cock-asses".

 

[Hotora86]

Yes. Dagestani just like Khabib and Islam. But he ain't in top 5.

He's #7 and moving up if he keeps winning tho.

How does this change anything? its fked up practice, same as pushing low educated africans into signing frontline contract in russian language under lie that they cannot engage in war, and etc. Like imagine that u go to train mma in random gym on tourist visa and they force u into war.

But whatever right? Its not russian, its someone “less”…right? “Free and fair” country

The catch is that they're all probably not very related to each other genetically.

Except for maybe Merab and Illia, of course.

Khamzat is Chechen while Islam is Lak, Khabib Avar.

Relatively small area, but it seems that genetic isolation was pretty significant.

Comparing those two maps, it seems that Avars seem to be more distant from Georgian than most Europeans are from each other. Even Sicilians from Latvians.

The reason for this is that Dagestanis have the lowest Caucasian ancestry (Caucasian hunter-gatherers) among local Caucasians (Armenians and Azerbaijanis are not Caucasians either by culture or by genetics), also they have steppe (EHG or Yamnaya) ancestry. Georgians and especially Western Georgians have the highest Caucasian ancestry (except for Chikadze, all Western Georgians are in UFC). Generally, the genetically pure Caucasians are Georgians in the Caucasus, then there are Adyghes and Ossetians (yes, Ossetians are also Caucasians genetically, but they speak a non-Caucasian language).
