    The next generation of MMA fighters are going to be animals. We're seeing kids under ten training in several martial arts disciplines already, plus high-level athletes are being attracted to the sport. We're going to have guys in their early twenties coming into pro MMA with multiple black belts. Especially kids pushed too hard too early by nutty fathers (tiger-tiger woods y'all).

    we're also, probably NOT gonna see 35+ year old fighters contending for the belt either IMO as these guys get younger and younger the fight mileage is gonna add up.
    Guys like Chuck and Randy have been able to compete for so long because they started older, fought when guys were less skilled than today's fighters and fights were not as often either.

    now you see 22 yr olds with 30+ fights under their belts.

    still it will me more energetic and exciting fights...
