MMA only professional sport where any size can complete in the highest level?

If you adjust for height, he perhaps could've been in league with Jordan and the rest. To be his size and that successful in the NBA, you have to be an incredible talent.

Muggsy P4P GOAT?

Lol. But yeah, the dude was awesome. Unfortunately we can never really say, because his speed was a huge benefit to him at his size. I'm surprised we haven't seen any more smaller guys like him. Last one I remember is Earl Boykins and Nate Robinson. They are usually good on defense and create havoc forcing turnovers.

I think you might need to go get a mental evaluation done. Might have some kind of brain damage.

The rest of the world likes a boring ass sport that outlaws using hands and has cowards flopping all over.

The hint is in the name football and goalkeepers can use their hands.

Plus 5' 7" , 145lb Messi makes $25 million a year as a base salary.

I would agree that it's much more likely for a smaller athlete to excel in MMA than in other sports, and that's entirely due to the nature of the weight class system. They can obviously compete in other sports as well, but you have to be twice as good to make up for the size deficit in a mixed weight sport.
