There’s no gentle way to put it: The UFC’s heavyweight division is old. Like, really old. The average age of the current Top Five heavyweights, per the latest set of UFC rankings—keeping in mind that this also includes Mark Hunt (41), who will no doubt drop out of the Top Five when the latest set […]

Georges St-Pierre’s decision to walk away from the Ultimate Fighting Championship may have been met with groans from fans and from the halls of the UFC’s office.

The UFC’s lightweight championship has been on ice for nearly a year due to recurring injuries suffered by champ Anthony Pettis, and it could be another year before anyone not named Gilbert Melendez earns a title shot.
