Rogan looks terrible for 71.....even tho he is most likely on his late 50’s....right?

Kids don’t do drugs....look at this mess.

I think it's just a bit of fat combined with holding his stomach in.

Im talking about his skeletal dawg

Yeah he has muscles, but from what Rogan has said he can barely fuckin roll these days

Rickson never smoked, never drank, never did drugs, always ate clean, and always stayed in shape. It's the byproduct of living clean. The guy was the ultimate professional. You would be hard pressed to find someone who took it more seriously than him in MMA throughout their whole lives.

Same for Bernard Hopkins. He was beating up young guys well past his prime.
 
Lol there's sherdoggers who are actively trying to deny that he looks good for 61.. like how is that even debatable? The hate is strong.

I kind of feel bad, I think he looks older than his age. He literally aged overnight after finding out his son passed away several years back, you can tell he's never really gotten over it and who honestly can.
More of the story here.

That was sad indeed, the death of his son ruined the chance of the Sakuraba fight, the last in line, in their primes, of the old Gracies that Saku had to get,....however,....lol,...remember, Rickson was 500-0 ;)....Sakuraba beat like 4 of them, pressure would of been immense for Rickson at that time,...and Sakuraba was unstoppable in those days, when he fought in his weight division and not before the LHW monsters like Wanderlei Silva, Ricardo Arona, Cro Cop, etc.. ruined his body.

Only if he won and he definitely wasn’t going to win, Saku has beaten a few of his family members including subbing Renzo, he would’ve defended his family’s “honour” in an MMA way. Rickson was a great grappler but Saku had a lot more tools in his box

Rickson wasnt just a great grappler he had a great understanding and method of applying his grappling to a real fight. I wouldnt consider him a favorite over Sakuraba but I wouldn't be shocked if he won. Rockson died in 2000 and I don't think that Saku was as good then as he was in 2002-2004. If Saku and Rickson fought it would have been around 2000 and Saku was still developing then and had a close fight with Allan Goes in '98. Renzo and Royler were too small and Royce fought with Saku for an hour and a half. I think a Rickson vs Saku fight in 2000 would have been a lot closer than people think.

Btw Sakuraba is a top 5 GOAT in my eyes.

He had the best facial aesthetics and body of all the gracies in his family. Dude could have easily been an actor in Brazil if he wanted.

Kron is a bit too skinny imo. And looks like a homeless guy
