Featherweight is full of old fighters and half division will be retired in the next few years.

[Legendary]

Apart from Topuria and handful of guys, the division is full of old fighters.

Volk 35 about to be 36
Max 32 going on 42
Aljo is 35
Ortetga is 33 going on 53
Yair is 31, but has a style that is dependent on athleticism and probably will be done by 35
Emmett is 39
Giga is 35
Kattar is 36
Barboza is 38
Swanson is 40
Landwehr is 36
Qurantillo is 35
Damon Jackson is 36
Elkins is 40
Doo Ho Choi is 33
Pineda 39
Algeo is 35
Erosa is 35
Emmers is 35
Burns is 36
Yinbugele is 36

basically half the divsion and the majority of the top 10/15 is around 34-35 years old and I doubt we will see most of them fighting after the next few years.

Big HW go play ball sports, 165lb guys are probably better off playing Tennis or Soccer or something like that. The athletes we get at 145 are mainly c level athletes.

 

[Clark Rogers]

UFC is dying, literally.

 

[Gabe]

Diego Lopes will rule that division soon enough.

 

[Neck&Neck]

MMA is now an old man’s game

 

[Tweak896]

Division is ripe for some younger FW to come in and mop up all the names in the division and we can argue about how highly ranked they were at the time despite their age. Topuria is going to be hard to take out especially from that list.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Max 32 going on 42
Ortetga is 33 going on 53

You ain't wrong tho.

 

[JoeRowe]

Give me Landwher vs Barboza at MSG

It's going to be a lot of fun along the way too.

 

[Ares Black]

In a few years there will be a dozen fighters you have never heard of coming up the ranks.

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

But you aren't past Prime until you start getting knocked out left and right

 

[sonhow]

....theres something wrong with me

 

[Legendary]

Give me Landwher vs Barboza at MSG

[KO Shotz]
