    Serb jealously. We always had much better boxers than them, and today MMA fighers. In general Croats are easily better athletes than Serbs, compare our Olympic medals ratios.

    But to answer on question - they simply have tradition and continuum in combat sports, just as they have it in football. Same could be said for Serbia/Lithuania in Basketball or Hungary in Waterpolo or Russians in Judo or Baltics/Iceland in Strongmen, etc, etc...
    That's true, but that's not the sole reason. There is a genetic component too, otherwise stipe miočić in USA, zlatan ibrahimović in sweden, nikola karabatić in france, etc etc etc wouldn't be what they are.

    Strong? MMA, and more especially boxing or kickboxing has little to do with strength. Most UFC champions are medium-build(including Stipe) or even thin build(Jon Jones) and would fail hard at powerlifting, as they need a lot of cardio. The heavy built guys like Ilir Latifi, Hector Lombard, etc are all journeymen, infact one of the strongest men in the world(Mariusz Pudzianowski) did actually compete in MMA and only has a record of 13-7). Francis Ngannou is way stronger than Stipe Miocic, but Miocic out cardio'd and out skilled him. Balkans do actually do good in weightlifting/powerlifting(although Bulgaria would be ahead of Croatia) but they aren't at the top, East Asians, Caucasus people/Iranians and N Europeans would be ahead.

    Also, pound for pound, the most dominant ethnicity in MMA(also wrestling, they do well in kickboxing as well) are North Caucasus people(there are stats to back it up), but Balkanites and Slavs overall also do very well. I think by far the weakest ethnicity in MMA and combat sports overall(although they have a few really good boxers right now) are the Japanese/East Asians, or Indians but they have very few fighters in the first place so it's hard to say.
    The Guanche skulls as a whole are unlike those of modern European Mediterraneans, and resemble northern European series most closely, especially those in which a brachycephalic element is present, as in Burgundian and Alemanni series.
    divided them into clearly differentiated types, which include a Mediterranean, a Nordic, a "Guanche," and an Alpine. The "Guanche" accounts for 50 per cent of the whole on the four islands of Teneriffe, Gomera, Gran Canaria, and Hierro; the Nordic for 31 per cent, the Mediterranean for 13 per cent, and the Alpine

    Surely he meant "strong" in the way that children use the word, encompassing also characteristics such as resilience, toughness, and other "manly" characteristics that make you hard to beat, not strictly powerlifting strength alone.

    With the exception of bulgaria due to its tradition in olympic lifting and somewhat due to strongman (dimitar "mars attacks!" savatinov), the balkan countries are nothing special in strength sports, for now at least. Powerlifting has only fairly recently gained popularity and some names have started surfacing on the international scene (speaking for croatia at least).

    The chechens and dagestanis are good in fighting because it's all they do. A harsh life and a culture of masculinity not poisoned by judeowestern progressivism certainly go in their favor too. Wrestling and boxing there are like football in europe, you start with your dad the day you can walk on your own. I sparred with them, they are bad sons of bitches.
