true- that and ‘up and coming’ fighters too- those that haven’t quite reached UFC skill levels yet-
It’s fine to have a venue for older fighters- but let’s face it, it’sw not up to UFC skill levels really- not quite- but that’s fine- still like watching the old greats fight- They are still very dangerous fighters- and still quite skilled- but it is a little sad seeing careers winding down or coming to a halt- still remember Mirko Crocops (sp?) career winding down- Roy nelson I believe it was, said he was sad to have to have fought him because he used to be such a legend, and it was sad to see him go down- or something like that- I agreed- I wanted to see him keep going- but he didn’t- Couldn’t- his competition was just too young and strong-
Still remember Chuck Lidell getting to the point where he was getting knocked out- they say that when you get to the point where you get knocked out when you never used to before, it’s the beginning of the4 end- that certainly was the case with Chuck- Before that happened- He could take a heck of a punch- I would have liked to have seen him in match with anderson silva though- when chuck was at peak-
Interesting and cogent points you made in your post #8. I agree Bellator has some up-and-comers as well as slightly over-the-hill former UFCers
