Williams and Brubaker set a second world record for the highest total combined age of two competitors in an MMA fight at 119 years.

This calls for some “my dad would kick your dad’s ass” debates! Mark Coleman, fight this man!

It would have been
a violation of our eyes had there been not…. that being said…
Good for those old bastards! :)
Would’ve just looked like a George Sotiropoulos fight.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

I think we found Bobby Lashley his next opponent.
Also, if your name is Williams and you’re a doctor and you fight, you pretty much have to go by “Dr. Death.”

Why is this being allowed to happen...
If one of their old asses stroked out there’d be more in the way of getting MMA accepted.
I heard the 49 year old guy is blaming the loss on lactic acidosis.

I’m glad the guy is in good shape and I’m sure he can whoop my ass; but really… after all the crap about the death we just had in mma, we have a 70 year old guy fighting mma. I know his opponent was 49, but that’s twenty years younger and, I don’t know. I’m at a loss. Like I said, I’m happy the guy is in such good shape, but he should not be competing in mma.

No, it’s not. Athletic commissions clear people to fight or should. They tell people they can’t fight all the time.

They let a guy with no arms fight so this shouldn’t be the end of the world lol, he’s old but at least he has arms

Not even just one either.
Even at 70, he has at least 2 million times more arms than Kyle Maynard.

Of course. I understand the math
But his tiny nubs may account for a fraction of an arm, so you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

70?
That dude’s body does not look 70. Looks like he’s a healthy 45 or so. Wow.

Was it fought at grandaddyweight?

GO Armageddon!!!
good for him that he can do this at his age
but i don’t feel very comfortable with it. I base this on the fact that age is an independent risk factor for preoperative mortilaty/mortality.
