Chandler is older than Jose Aldo but the narrative is that Aldo is past his prime

Jose Aldo started professionally in 2004, Chandler in 2009. Aldo spent much more time as the number 1 of his division taking multiple fights against the divisions best across that time. Aldo likely has more miles on him. It's kind of splitting hairs as they're both getting close to the end of the rope. But no doubt Aldo has likely received more damage over the years.
 
Chandler has 26 pro fights and has been fighting for 11 years. He also started MMA at 23

Aldo has 36 pro fights has been fighting for 17 years. He also started MMA at age 17.

Big difference in their career arcs and time in the cage.
 
Chandler is past his prime but anyway Aldo has been fighting since he was a teenager
 
They both peaked in different times, mma mileage, people dont age the same, different style of fighting, one started way earlier than the other.
 
People peak and fall out of their primes at different times. It's not a one age fits all type of thing.
