Fighters primes are so overrated on Sherdog. It is used as an excuse for anyone to defend their favourite fighters loses. Skill and experience are a lot more important than physical prime. Derek Brunson proved that once again.
Brunson was going into the fight 36 years old with 27 pro fights, 5 KO loses, 10 years as a pro and a lot of miles. A washed up fighter by Sherdog standards.
Everyone was predicting a prime, undefeated 22 year old Shahbazyan to take his head off.
We saw the opposite of that.
Skill> physical prime
