I remember Rogan pointing out circa 2005 that Ken Shamrock was still on the roster and had fought on UFC 1. Now, I'm pretty certain that Vitor is the current elder statesman of fighters with his debut being on UFC 12.

I've always found this interesting for some reason. I did some checking and it looks like it might be Dan Henderson (UFC 17), then probably Josh Barnett (UFC 28).

Frank Mir was at UFC 34 but I don't see him sticking around longer than Vitor.

Arlovski and Josh Barnett were in UFC 28

Considering BJ doesn't lose to Siver and retire again, him.
 
Hendo if he can win a few and decide to stick around awhile longer. I hope not though.
 
Penn (UFC 31) if he keeps fighting after the Siver fight.
 
Hendo will be fighting long after we're all dead.
 
DIdnt know vitor was the elder statesmen,and not the crazy roided jesus guy who wont retire
 
The elder statesman?
Well, I don´t know.
But he took so much, so much horse juice that in 75 years he will still have the same face and physique.
 
Vitor is incredible!
