Kind of interesting that no one under the age of 25 has been able to get the belt.

Barely anyone under 30.

Isn't Carlos Newton now that new QB for the NE Patriots placing Todd Brady?

Probably why he isnt in the UFC anymore

That average age will go down quite a bit when this promising young prospect wins the title in a couple of years. He has all the tools, but we have to be patient and give him time to develop.

I hate to break the news to you, but he is no longer some young prospect with the world ahead of him. Look at his record and how long he has been around. The guys at least 21 now.
