5'7 Too Short for MMA

Hello how are you guys,
I am just wondering is 5'7 too small for a career in MMA as a middleweight ? maybe a LHW ?
As i notice matt hughes is 5'9 just wondering what your opinions are thanks.

at that height i woudl say welterweight or lightweight. No way could you be a contender as a LHW. The reach advantage that others would have on you will kill you. Look at the trouble Monson had with Pe De Pano.

5'7" is too short in general. Killing yourself seems a good option.
