Brothers in MMA?

[Luger]

I remember reading some study about brothers.
It seemed like the older brother had a better chance to be successful in life (in general, a wide subject obviously).
Mostly it was based on academics.
It has made me wonder about the MMA fighters that happen to be brothers.

Joe seems to be better (older)

Anthony is better (older)

Here it gets iffy

Fedor was better but I've read many interviews, even from Fedor himself, saying that Aleks was more talented. He simply did not have the work ethic that Fedor had/has.
Drugs and all types of crazy stuff makes one wonder how crazy good Aleks could have been, had he had the work ethic of Fedor.

Jim seems to have been better. He looks older but is actually younger

Nick and Nate is an odd one. As all types of outside things have effected Nick's Career.


The Guida brothers, I forget which one is older.

There are some others but not too high profile.
The Ellenberger's due to a medical thing.

Matt and Mark Hughes.
Matt Serra has a brother too.

 

[Persuadertron]

In fact there are be five heavyweight brothas this next card Wow!!

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Ninja is older than Shogun, yet Shogun is the superior fighter.

 

[Luger]

Matt and Mark Hughes.
Matt Serra has a brother too.

He pounded him behind a barn, he has not spoken since.

 

[Luger]

The Nogs. I don't know how to measure that one.
They both have taken ton of damage.

 

[FleXS]

Noguiera...older one more accomplished

^beaten to it

Hmm...
Overeem and Alistair is better and younger



I know there is some weird ones like Rashad evans brother, BJ penns brother, Liddells, Limas, Patricio pitbull, Shamrocks(adopted tho) but I couldnt tell you who is older in some of those cases.

 

[Darwinambrosius]

He pounded him behind a barn, he has not spoken since.

I thought that the legend told of them pounding each other behind the barn.

Only one of them had that experience and went on to become successful with the UFC

 

[Son of Werdum]

Alistair Overeem is younger than Valentijn.

Also Patricio Pitbull is younger than Patricky. Although to be honest I always get the two confused so I don't know which has had more success.

I didn't realize the barn incident led to matt's success. Thank you.

 

[JohnWick]

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

 

[danny23]

Shamrock.

 

[Summoning]

Is Royce the older of the Gracies???

 

[Luger]

I didn't realize the barn incident led to matt's success. Thank you.

I can only imagine what Jon Jones could have done had he been able to pound a Hughes behind a barn.

 

[Darwinambrosius]

Or Aldo. Or BJ. Anybody, for that matter.

 

[Luger]

Is Royce the older of the Gracies???

Good pick.
He was chosen as one of the least threatening guys physically.
