Biggest age disparity in a competitive fight?

[AndrewGolota48]

The Tough Thug Tyrone (aka Michael) was actually 50 at the time. There was only like 10 years of age difference.

Wow, he must use pearl cream, thought he was early 40's and EBM was 67.

Anyone can bring me up to date with that Erick Silva shit?

What's the gag? I've seen him mentionned several times but didn't really know who he was.. Wiki says he's a 33 year old UFC fighter...

So what's the deal?

There is no joke, he's just a young up and comer.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Sage Northcutt (19) vs Francisco Trevino (34)

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

There is a 17 year age discrepancy between Coleman and Shogun...

Shoop potential.

 

[Squall10]

They fed Mike Pyle to young Rory.

John Williams 70 Larry Brewboker 39

Which one is 70? That's a ROUGH 39.

 

[Squall10]

Jon Jones vs Vladimir. Shit, John Jones vs his first 5 championship bouts.

You don´t mention UFC or MMA, so I will remind ya folks that George Foreman was 45 years old when he KTFO Michael Moorer, a solid champ on his own right and who was only 26 years old. There was 19 years gap between them.
To KO Moorer at the time was already a difficult task, but doing it at 45 was an incredible feat.

"It happened! It happened!"

George Sotiropoulis' torso was 92

looks like a chest stroke

Yup, that's definitely what it was. He was a competitive swimmer before switching to mma.... Specialized in backstroke & cheststroke.

Who's the 70 & the 39 year old? Wtf they both look older but nobody in that photo looks 70.

Just had the same reaction. I guess it's the guy on the left, looks slightly older, but damn, none of them two look anywhere near 70.

Ummm pretty sure both those guys look closer to 70 than 39 lol.

Not 39 but more like late 50s.

Branko Cikatić early in K-1 comes to mind as well, 43 years old when he beat 25 year old Musashi in 1997.

Agreed...That's why I said 'closer to 70 than 39' lol

Neither guy quite looks 70, but they sure as shit could pass for that before 39.

 

[hearthstone25]

The old 39er vs 70 year old fight wins this thread. Which one claims to be 39? Lmao nobody knows

 

[Nigol]

John Williams 70 Larry Brewboker 39

So what's this about? Any links?

 

[Adjutant]

John Williams 70 Larry Brewboker 39

There’s no way on Gods green earth that guy is 39! He looks like a 49 year old who has lived waaaay too hard.

That wiki article is bullshit and probably hasn't been updated in a while.
Erick Silva has Benjamin Buttons disease, he is a grizzled vet about to enter his prime years as a hot up and coming prospect.

You're trying too hard.

You're trying too hard.

Lighten up

 

[Melas Chasma]

Relax, princess, it was a joke.

Casual? lol See alot of casuals with 2009 accounts?

Seriously, though, it's a recurring joke about Erik Silva being a perpetually young prospect in MMA; based on his youthful looks and apparent fighting potential relative to his low level of success thus far.

I smell a casual in you. 3000 posts in 9 years is less than post/day. I bet you were once a hard core but lost the passion at some point and these days you are just a filthy casual, and thats why you got offended.
