UFC roster is OLD

[gentel]

40 is the new 30.

Athletes can play longer now.

40y/o Lebron dunking on em

 

[L0ki]

HW had a similar top 10 for like 15 years.

 

[kingmob6]

Give me 40 year old over another Contender Series runner up.

Complaining about Andrade? she has constantly delivered, and thats on the prelims.

Not complaining, just stating facts. She has 2 wins in her last 7.

The game has done her dirty, (well mostly whoever ripped her off) she has been around the top of the sport for about a decade and she is broke. It's a fucked up story and I feel bad for her, I enjoyed her fights as she always came to throw down.... though in recent years I feel like the fire ain't there which goes with the problem of taking fights under less than ideal circumstances (short notice, bad matchup, injured, etc)

And even though she is still only 33 I believe, the fact remains that there ain't much tread left on the tires.

The only stars needed are the ufc logo and Dana white.

That is clearly been the business model in the last 10 or so years.

Why do you care how old they are if its not completely obvious they shouldnt be there. If theyre performing I could really give a rats ass how old they are. Maybe blame your own too soft generation who only dream of being content creators instead of fighting champions.

 

[volcom5]

Maybe. But in mma, they just fight less than they used to and thus have less wear.

I agree, but modern day fighters are fighting S tier competition back to back, fighters from the old days would fight opponents who did not belong in the ring/cage, ran thorough unscathed.

Problem also was fighters from back then did not evolve or adapt as they aged, they still fought like they were young.

 

[Darkjjb]

Younger will be in UFC later. They learn now. 30-40 is not old.

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

That old man power never goes away!

 

[xhaydenx]

Who cares if they're old? The oldest, Jared and Diego, still put on good fights.

 

[Skarsgard]

Damn, they have Edson Barboza on the early prelims behind Green, Meerschaert and Andrade. The biggest highlight reel machine in UFC history.

Battle should also be above them.

That was my reaction as well, but he's probably headlining the prelims.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Roster has become too heavy with old dudes who rank squat and young contender series kids they won’t make fight each other because it would lose their marketable 0

Go for a walk and don't forget your Metamucil.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Good thing we still have this young prospect that has the potential to be the first triple champ, and he's only 18

Spoiler

A long time yet to see if this kids any good. I've heard his name whispered in MMA chats but I've heard it doesn’t have the work ethic. I mean, it's hard to find a teenager who does. Only time will tell, but we could use a young gun like this stud

 

[Harlekin]

Have stars with name recognition or young fighters

PICK ONE

 

[GoWokeGoBroke]

It ain’t easy for the elderly to find work these days. Pay em like shit & treat em like dirt = profit

 

[darcandkharg]

Go for a walk and don't forget your Metamucil.

I'm not old but I like walking to the store, and a little metamucil every once in awhile gives you solid poops

 

[jsbx45]

The only stars needed are the ufc logo and Dana white.

That's what the UFC is betting on and it seems to be working.

 

[Neck&Neck]

UFC became GFL

 

[milliniar]

They are all younger than me.
