Biggest age difference in a fight, where the older fighter won?

[BenjaminDuffy]

How about them old biddies?

Roxanne Modafferi was 15.5 years older than Maycee Barber.
Sara McMann was 14 years older than Karol Rosa.
Marion Reneau was 9.5 years older than Talita Bernardo.

I might be wrong but Randy was like 47 and Tim Sylvia was 30

Looks like there was a bigger age gap with Randy and Brock.

 

[bisquit]

Jon Jones was 11 years younger when Matt Hamill beat him.

 

[bisquit]

Alistair Overeem. 12 years older and beat Pavlovich. 11 years older and beat Sakai.

And Yoel Romero 15 years older than the dude he fought 2 fights ago.

And largest I can think of is Yoshida's 17 year gap vs. Ishii.

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Conor vs that old guy in the bar.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Dan Severn beat so many young fighters. He made his MMA debut at 34 years old and then went on to have over 100 wins in MMA, shows how amazing he is!!.

Forrest Griffin when he was young was one of the poor unfortunate victims of Severn, he actually said that when he went on to UFC and win the belt it was easy because he already had that experience of fighting Severn who is on another level and universe than the UFC modern fighters, and that he couldn't land sh* on Severn.

Every loss Erick Silva ever endured was in his mom's womb.

 

[vivi]

I asked chatgpt this question and it told me Mark Hunt ha Stefan Struve. But it also said the fight took place at UFC 209 so I don’t know what to believe

 

[HerpDerp]

Dan Severn beat a dude who's 30 years younger than him once.

That's completely insane. Severn is one tough old sonnuva.

 

[TCE]

That's completely insane. Severn is one tough old sonnuva.

Who was that dude though? Severn has an epic record, but full of absolute cans later on in his career.

The dude probably just got out of the pub, and said fuck it, I'll fight Severn.

Probably end of the the discussion: Hall (b 1944) vs. Wakefield (b 1980)

Boxings Dead! Boxings Always been dead!

 

[LindyBrah]

41 year old Romero was robbed against 27 year old Whittaker.

 

[LindyBrah]

36 year old Brunson absolutely sonned 22 year old Edmen.

Conor vs that old guy in the bar.

First prize

Ever watch Hagler vs Hearns?

 

[Patreo]

It was a MMA fight. Skip Hall was 58, James Wakefield 23. Hall won via Guillotine Choke

youre probably right, but its still impressive for a guy to beat a guy half his age.

 

[don't ask]

When Randy spanked Tito

Love your av! Is that Ronda?

Didn't Skp Hall turn out to be a fraud of some sort? I remember his wife posting an apology on the underground for helping her husband get away with his lies.

It really isn't. Would, say, Jones beating a guy aged 17 be impressive? Obviously not.
