Scary Stat That Might Make You Think Twice Before Betting
In the history of UFC title fights at 170 pounds (welterweight) and below, male athletes ages 35 and older have a combined record of 2-23. Volkanovski is 35.
Former lightweight champion and Hall of Famer Frankie Edgar didn't view his age of 37 as a disadvantage when he fought a much younger 27-year-old Max Holloway for the featherweight title in 2019. Holloway would go on to win by unanimous decision.
"I hate to say it, because I was never a guy who listened to labels or stats while I was fighting, but numbers don't lie," Edgar said. "And those numbers say that this is a young man's game."
