The most disturbing thing about Jon Jones being past his prime...

Is that I'm now so old I've lived through two generations of fighters' primes ending...

I remember Fedor losing to Werdum, Silva losing, and now new breed Jones is fading and getting "old" for fighting.

Christ... I'm only 27 and I feel 50. Thanks a lot, Jon >:l

 

Off to the wasteland with old people and threads about their old age

 

It's part of being a fan. I've watched all of my favorite fighters go from their prime to retirement.

 

He's not getting old, he's just off the juice.

 

50 Isn't that old!

 

There there, don't cry little buddy, it's only the truth.

 

Way she goes boys!

 

Lol same even i am 27. I also would add Chuck getting KOed left and right and then retiring.

 

Fedor's decline was accepted when he got finished three times. JJ's fight was close and Reyes is legit but he did enough to win over the judges - however controversial that might have been. I wouldn't make that comparison just yet.

 

It sucks to see your favorite athletes inevitably fall one by one.

I can see why people lose interest or stop watching all together when their favorite retires.

 

I don’t wanna hear it. I’m about to turn 31 and my back and knees are fucked. I wish I was 27 again.

32yrs old is past his prime after almost 4yrs out from body breaking cage fighting add in his very conservative fighting and you feel he's past his prime...?

 

I'm turning 38 dude. I was a teen when I rented all the early UFCs from Blockbuster using all the coupons I had, and watched until 2001 or so, lost interest, then came back around 2006 when I watched Andrei Arlovksi beat Tim Sylvia for the title .

27 is a baby

 

Shit man I remember 21 year old Jones with all the raw skill in the world going absolutely ham on Stephan Bonnar.

 

Fighting age way different than chronological age - had much damage did he take and yep, did he F his HPA via PEDS..? His Test will never be right unassisted again

 

holy mother of god & you are still a sherdogger?

lmfaooo poor guy

 

At least I think MMA is more interesting now than a few years back

 

So many dude.

Its the ones that faded before the money like Marco Ruas that I feel most sad for.

Ken Shamrock's long downfall was pretty gruesome to watch too.
