I'm sure there is just a good amount of featherweight folks as also higherweight classes to not to segregate all filipino's as short and skinny. Pot calling the kettle black since I am short and skinny but nevertheless.

Either way the more fighters the merrier and great for the UFC!

I can see it working in Australia. A number of orgs are trying to do this. Let's see if it works!

I've got cousins taller than me in the P.I. The nothern Pinoys are bigger due to the influx of european blood. It's a cooler climate.

We hide out in the north.

The size and height is from my father's side, which is Northern Pinoy. My mother is from Manila. This is a mini reunion on my mother's side, and you can see the difference.

I was heads taller than everyone, and my twins at 12, were pretty much eye level, now they are 5' 8".
