I guess we'll have to see in the future sir.

 

[RageQuitLord]

Don’t see a lot of 5’9 middleweights these days

Yeah I was like lol Khabib standing next to Vettori would be comical

 

[Noraaq]

That midget (5’10, 214lbs per Wikipedia) might get some good, hard-fought takedowns but he ain’t rag-dolling anyone at the top of that division, least of all not the likes of DC, Stipe, Jones or Gane.

Ngannou would drive his fist right through his skull — from the top at a 12 to 6 angle, further reducing his height to a Roganesque 5’7. The UFC would then outlaw 12 to 6 punches.

He would absolutely ragdoll Ngannou as if he was a child

 

[SwagJuice]

He would be a HW in the ufc u moron

Seek help kid, clearly can't take it when you're proven wrong.

Lol wtf? How am i wrong? You dont just get to decide you were right and then try to gaslight me lmao. Abdulrashid wrestles at 214 lb. He would be a ufc heavyweight.

 

[Kratos94]

if you're referring to wrestling, in Greco and freestyle the current wc and oc are all non dagestani.
Lopez, Steveson, Zare, and Yousefi.

Dagestan doesn't not really care about GR, and they (Russia in general) have always kinda sucked at 125kg in FS.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Sigghh

It means it isnt common nobody is close to tall on average in China let alone 7"0

I mean...no one is close to 7 foot tall anywhere in the world, what kind of argument is that?

People form northern China are above average in height. Learn something about the world instead of memeing that Asians are short - if you looked at a map and knew some things, it's fairly obvious why they are as well.

People from Northern China are much taller than people from Southern China. Most people outside of China interact with Southern Chinese. This could be confirmed in like two seconds.

 

[TorontoTO]

There's like one, but he's not in the UFC yet.

Who? Alikhan Vakhaev? Let's see if he beats Tony Johnson first

 

[TorontoTO]

Ruslan left the UFC a couple of years ago. Also, there are definitely not 90 fighters on the HW roster. Ballpark figure, I'd say 25-30 tops.

I mean the wikipage on the UFC roster keeps track and says it's 42

He got an offer to fight for ONE and pulled out off the KSW bout, then looked absymal. Got cut then fought in Czech republic and got KOd in the first round by a 5-5 fighter

 

[Xuh]

Interestingly Russia hasn't done all that well in Freestyle at HW over the last decade (plenty of Kavkaz types have though - Georgians esp).

& actual Russian-Russians haven't done well at all in Freestyle since the USSR was a thing (they still do OK in Greco though).

dam guess there is little hope for the norse hw mma

Remember when Alex killed a bear with just a knife? It's a tough life being a bear in Russia.

Heard even Siberian tigers go after them too

 

[Iroh]

Poor bears! The beta predators of Russia...

 

[Ares Black]

chimaev is 6 2 and ankalaev 6 3

Chimaev isn't from Dagestan.

 

[NoSmilez]

Dagestanis aren't big people. It is probably due to nutrition and lack of healthcare. Look at South Koreans and their counterparts in North Korea.

Dagestan has one of the longest lifespans (on average) among the Russian Federation, so no, it is not that.

Lifespan has nothing to do with how tall people are? It makes no sense.

Lifespans do however have quite bit to do with nutrition and healthcare, which you claimed was substandard in Dagestan.
