It's no coincidence that certain sports are populated by similar body types since that's what allows them to be special in their competitive field, and that's what OP may be noticing. If you looked into basketball players for instance, you'd think that a majority of Americans have above-average wingspans.

Now, I don't think that a short reach would be an advantage as a fighter. However it could very well be a coincidence due to the small sample size, which obviously doesn't represent the region's average.

Your point is valid and is likely true. It's tough to find regular dagestanian people because the known ones tend to be sambo wrestlers or mixed martial artists. I wish there would be a consensus done.  America is much more diverse than Russia though and has different immigrants from everywhere so that's a bad comparison.
