The reason you see lanklets winning fights against manlets, is because lanklets weigh a lot more. As a result they hold a greater advantage when it comes to fighting, say we have a 60kg man vs 80kg man. The energy needed to lift and move an 80kg man is more than the energy needed to move a 60kg man, as a result the smaller fighter (who will also have less strength) is going to be lifting a heavier weight and get tired much quicker - as well as have a tougher time moving the 80kg compared to the lighter weight the lanklet needs to move.
If we were to equalise weight, than height would play very little role in the outcome of a fight. Both tall and short fighters have their own styles of fighting, none are superior to the other, they're just different. Take boxing for example, a taller man could just keep the shorter fighter out of range with his jab since he has reach advantage, as well as the greater punching power (yes lanklets hit harder too due to their fists travelling a greater distance thus able to achieve a higher velocity).
Now compare it to the shorter man, who needs to fight in the pocket. What the lanklet has in power and range, the shorter man makes up for in speed. A manlet fighting from the pocket is able to throw much faster punches than a lanklet (as when he throws his punch, he needs to cover less distance to return it back to him), fighting from the pocket also means the power advantage the lanklet has is gone as well as the manlet being able to rotate his body faster for a greater punch. The disadvantage of fighting from the pocket means that the manlet will also be getting hit as well.
Now take grappling, when up against taller people, things like hip tosses and foot sweeps work well as they have a higher centre of gravity and can't move around as fast. But their longer legs also mean that leg reaps work a lot more in their favour.
There are advantages and disadvantages to being short, but it is very much possible for a shorter lighter fighter to beat a stronger and heavier fighter if the skill gap between them is large enough.
