[QUOTE="Teegold,  post: 11670, member: 385"]To be fair, 35 years is a bit on the old side for someone to prove anything in the sports sector. However, there have been some exceptions, maybe he will be one too.[/QUOTE]
You make a very valid point! In combat sports, 35 is often viewed as a pivotal age, especially with the physical toll that training and fighting take on the body. However, there are numerous exceptions in MMA and boxing that defy the common perception of age in sports. 

Fighters like Randy Couture, who continued to achieve success into his late 40s, and Holly Holm, who won the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship at 34, show that age can be just a number. It often comes down to a fighter's dedication, physical conditioning, and willingness to adapt and improve. 

If Adesanya can channel his experience, adjust his game, and maintain his passion, there’s a chance he could extend his career and continue to perform at an elite level. It's the heart and mindset that often make the biggest difference in a fighter’s trajectory.

So, whether he becomes one of those exceptions or not remains to be seen, but it's definitely an exciting narrative to follow! What attributes do you think are most important for fighters to sustain their careers as they age?
