Or what about when Coleman ended Vovchanchyn's streak:

Because LHW has been going downhill since 2009 and the average age of the division (35.6) is comparable to Pereira's age (36).

Fedor was past his prime by 2008, had already lost to Werdum/Silva, and unlike Henderson he had a concurrent Combat Sambo career (he was medaling from 1998-2008). And Henderson's age is even less relevant because he had been on TRT for four years by the time he fought Fedor.

In addition to what @Substance Abuse said, you're attempting (and failing) at making several false equivalencies: -Arguing that because Holloway fought Poirier on short notice in his 5th pro fight therefore means that Holloway's subsequent competition were consistently high level in the same...

Added Alex Pereira's resume.

Added du Plessis' resume.

Added Ilia Topuria's resume.

Updated O'Malley's resume.

I didn't use the UFC's rankings (I actually never use those rankings for anything), I used FightMatrix, which includes fighters outside of the UFC and demotes/removes fighters who are inactive.

Keep in mind that the MMA On Point video was an average based on all weight classes; the smaller divisions are always going to be younger than the heavier divisions due to the former's dependency on speed and athleticism (which are the first things to decline with age), whereas the heavier...

Average age of the top ten fighters (worldwide): 32.9 | Heavyweight 35.6 | Light Heavyweight 32.9 | Middleweight 32.2 | Welterweight 32.2 | Lightweight 31.9 | Featherweight 31.4 | Bantamweight 31.0 | Flyweight MMA On Point also did a video trying to determine at what age fighters start...

What's hilarious is that he thinks Sylvia would be in the top five, but Fedor wouldn't even be competitive. Post-prime Fedor was doing this to Sylvia: Over ten years after losing to Fedor, this is what Hunt was doing to the "modern era" of Heavyweights:

I'm asking you to explain it because it's not relevant at all to what I said. USADA retroactively administering an EPO test to old samples has nothing to do with why USADA tests fighters at any hour in the day (including the middle of the night). And Dillashaw got caught when that kind of...

I wasn't talking about the new agency, I was explaining why athletes get tested at odd hours (in response to a Sherdogger disagreeing with fighters getting woken up in the middle of the night). The only reason USADA (and Reebok) was brought into the UFC in the first place was to dress up the...

If random testing was never conducted while people slept, then every athlete would take PEDs during those hours (EPO, for instance, has a very short detection window).

All I know is that Nick Diaz was reportedly paid $100,000 to fight Katsuya Inoue (not including sponsor pay): https://www.mmamania.com/2008/10/15/nick-diaz-gets-paid-by-dream-and-agrees-to-fight-in-japan

Updated OP with the recent allegation that Jones threatened a drug tester's life.

Edwards hasn't even broken into the top five for all-time Welterweights, so this topic is premature. Top ten ranked wins at Welterweight (based on FightMatrix): (16) Georges St-Pierre (12) Matt Hughes (8) Kamaru Usman (7) Robbie Lawler (5) Tyron Woodley (5) Johny Hendricks (3) Leon Edwards...

What's the excuse for wrecking his new Bentley into a pole because he was drunk back in 2012? You think CTE was the cause after only 17 fights over 4 years for that kind of behavior? Jones was and remains responsible for his crimes, not CTE.

The only UFC/Pride champion with more top ten ranked wins at Heavyweight than Nogueira is Fedor. Because Cormier split his career into two divisions, he didn't do enough in either to become a divisional GOAT.
