I glad to hear whats going on with Igor but it sucks that he wont be fighting again. Igor has had a lot of bad ass KO's that were fun watching. I wish Igor could have come to America in his younger days and gotten into a good camp and got some better conditioning cause who could have been great instead of very good.

It's a pity he can't fight anymore too, he hit so damn hard lol

Yeah, well, I think that everyone thinks people 40+ can do what Randy does.

It isn't even just about physical damage (i.e. Wanderlei Silva and Big Nog will not be fighting in their 40s.. I guarantee it.. they have taken way too much damage), but it is also how the fighter takes care of his body.

Fighters who party, smoke, etc. won't be fighting in their late 30s either.... How Chuck is still fighting is beyond me.

Not fully stretching before and after workouts.. all of that stuff plays its part.

Brandon Vera will fight when he is 35, Nog on the other hand probably won't. Their bodies can only take so much and if they have been in the sport for that long they shouldn't keep going. Ill miss Igor, he always brought it and was respectfull.

Yeah it all depends silva,igor etc have been fighting since their early teen years. If you just started training and fighting at age 25 then of course you'll last a whole lot younger possibly into your 40s. Just look at Randy. He didnt start fighting MMA till his early 30s....
