Mark Hunt will fight for the UFC Heavyweight championship on November 15. He's 40. It's not 57, but still interesting to see athletes push themselves into later ages than their competition.
In highly technical sports like MMA, the knowledge and muscle memory must be a pretty big advantage, but unlike this stunt, reflexes and recovery times are very much at issue. :-)
- razster 12y agoYou still have Jackie Chan doing insane stunts and he is 60.
- petegrif 12y agoBernard Hopkins is very nearly 50.
- speeder 12y agoAnderson Silva (that according to Dana White is the best UFC fighter EVER) lost his title (UFC Middleweight champion) when he was 38 years old, and next year he plans in getting it back. Or getting the next weight category title... (he said that on his age defending middleweight title was getting harder, as he was getting too old to do violent weight shifting, and was considering just fighting without weight shifting...)
