My Top 5 UFC Fighters That Defied Age.
Intro.
The passing of father time is a real thing, and at times MMA Fighters can easily feel this strain, because from the moment that a fighter starts training, the clock starts ticking. With the added preassure of Injuries, and family life, this is a list of the Fighters that defied age.
5 Randy couture.
I have said this once, and I will say it again. This man is my hero. He started training in MMA at the age of 34, and he became the UFC Heavyweight Champion, just a few years later, and by the time he was 39, he battered Tito Ortiz, to claim the UFC light Heavyweight Championship, after Tito tried to become a businessman, whilst screwing Chuck Liddell in the process.
4 Tito Ortiz.
In the twilight of Tito's UFC Career he went on a five year losing streak that came at the end when he beat Ryan Baber at UFC 132, he would then lose to Rashad Evans. Antonio Noguiera, and. Forest Griffin as he bowed out of the Las Vegas outlet. He took time away from the sport, and then at the age of 37, he debuted in Bellator MMA, and went on to have a decent run in the promotion, that saw him become the No1 contender for Their light Heavyweight Championship, this happened in his late 30's to early 40's.
3 Stipe Miotic.
From being a real life hero, to becoming the UFC world Heavyweight Champion in his late 30's. This man should be everyones hero.
2. Frankie Edgar.
It's no secret that i'm a big fan of the Tom's River New Jersey resident. This guy isn't normal. His championship reign at lightweight lasted for just under two years, whilst he was entering his early 30's, and when he entered the twilight of his career, he proved that age is nothing but a number.
1 Alexander Volkanovski.
A couple of weekends ago Alexander Volkanovski beat diego Lopes, to become a two time UFC Featherweight Champion, at the age of 36, this in incredible, because Volk has taken quite some time away from the sport. The fight earned fight of the night rewards, proving that you can do anything regardless what age you are.
