As a tangential observation, within combat sports such observations are actually quite common and accepted; different races/ethnicities have different combative qualities, on average, which can be anticipated. On a more particular level there is always a discussion of attributes (length, power, stamina, etc) and how particular fighters weaponize or leverage their physical attributes in peculiar ways to get the win. Jon Jones weaponizes length and wrestling, Strickland weaponizes pressure, Diaz brothers weaponize pace, Pereira weaponizes power/pressure.

All of them were great shots with my mom and uncle competing nationally at the college level. My grandfather was a pistol fast draw and trick shooter and I qualified ‘Master’ every cycle on the range, (95% +.)

There’s some nurture going on but nature too.
