buffer Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 do you think the UFC should introduce some kind of seniors or veterans division for the older fighers? I remember reading somewhere that when fighters get to their mid-late 30's they are past, or almost past their prime (with a few exceptions). Obviously all the fighters are getting older and when they are considered to be past their prime, they'd still have a place to go & compete and do what they love doing, entertaining the fans & getting paid ! Is it a stupid idea? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP24 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I say no, because Couture would be the only one in any kind of condition to be any good He'd be champion until he was dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_LiBRA Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 . Maybe in a few years, but I don't think there is enough "older fighters" willing to fight in that "division" yet, ...even in Boxing there are guys like Evander Holyfield still fighting relatively younger fighters, holding Their own so to speak! .
