Mangasm Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Actually the next generation has already mostly taken over. Cain, JDS, Jones, Gus, GSP, Hendricks, Condit, MacDonald, Diaz, Bendo, Cerrone, Pettis, other Diaz, Aldo. Really Silva, Sonnen, Machida, and Hendo are the only relevant old guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorfan663 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't think GSP classifies as "next generation" GSP has been fighting for the ufc since like UFC 46 and won the belt back at UFC 65 (for the first time) he just entered the game early on in his life and he fights very smart so he hasn't taken all that much damage in his career.

Leiting Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Dan Henderson - 42 Chael Sonnen - 35 Frankie Edgar - 31 Ben Henderson - 29 Frank Mir - 33 Average age - 34 But this isn't exactly surprising. It takes time to grow an appreciation for a fighter, the newer younger fighters haven't been around long enough for fans to develop the kind of bond that they have with the older guys who we've seen fighting for years.

najma Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 tonight I cry myself to sleep ... 30s are hitting me hard ... except for the fact that everything in life is easier I'm feelin' you brother. I just turned 30 early this month. It will be heard to look around one day and see that all the fighters that were your heroes and where older than you are gone, because how can you look up to a younger guy? I hate this.
