Honorable mention to the guy who's prime was wasted not because of himself. Korean Zombie had to do his mandatory military service when he was at his peak.

He most likely could have, as SK often let's athletes and celebrities postpone their mandatory service, since youth is so important for their careers. From what I remember, whole reason TKZ went into service is because his shoulder was wrecked after the Aldo fight, so he figured he'd kill 2 birds with one stone and do his service while recovering. I think he worked a desk job while he was there. I never actually verified any of this, it's just what I heard, so take it with a grain of salt lol

I mean it could be true i can’t speak for another man but his actions seem fitting for the video. Also strange he would do the same with wrestling. he still achieved a lot tho.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Kerr on the Judo mat in 1995-96 when he visited. He was in town for a competition and just wanted the best workout he could get. My coaches told me as the only guy close to his weight to not hold back and be careful. Apparently as wrestling coaches they already knew Mr Kerr. I didn't, but was doing really well defending, made him work to escape a couple throw attempts. I thought to myself, "I am about to nail this-" when he hit me with about the smoothest fireman's carry I had ever felt. As the unofficial class uke I could take any fall, and had never been injured from a hard throw/fall in class or fighting! This time was different though. He was so complete... Separated my shoulder and kinked my neck a bit. But, I played it off and nobody knew how injured I was. After finishing that go around I got to talk to Mark for a bit. He was such a genuinely nice, humble guy! I had went with a couple of Mark Colemans guys before and had much greater success, I told him. He had nothing but positive things to say about them and our school. The experience ended up becoming a precious memory. I didn't realize at the time that I was really rolling with a future champion. And, I have never been hit with a fireman's carry by anyone else since! Mark Kerr was a gracious winner, a genuinely pleasant person, and as powerful as he looked!

I have a different opinion on him, as a prize fighter he accomplished his goal. The prize being financial security. He was also super skilled and his mic game was carnage ha ha.

His jaw was broken in 2019 which had lingering effects for a couple years, but Covid also happened less than a year later, and he caught covid, which kept him out a little longer. He did get another fight with ONE, and ended up winning, but every time they booked him against Aoki, it would get cancelled. Part of the reason was Sage's coach's visa was denied but he ended up leaving ONE FC mutually because they have a roster instability issue and mismanagement with drug testing. He still plans on fighting, and he's only 28 years old, he's technically entering the early years of his prime. It's still a bit early to write him off entirely because he isn't past his prime. Most UFC fighters hit their prime and become champion around 28-34 years old.

Hopefully future fighters will learn from these mistakes, you can't leave at 33 and comeback at 37 and expect the same results, 37 to 40 is a even more drastic fall off for most fighters. Every fighter is out of their prime by 40, but the fall off starts after 35 and just gets worse as time goes on.

AMAZING video guys! Brought back aloof CHAOTIC memories of excitement and disappointment and alot of dumb decisions made by fighters who NEVER reached their true potential sadly1 This was actually really sad to watch as it was informative to new fans but there is one thing I def take from this video and its that I don't think we ever truly recognize our 'prime,' or are we too focused on the grind, seeing every victory as just a stepping stone toward greater glory? Sometimes, we only realize later that a small choice-a seemingly minor decision-can spiral into a series of missteps leading us to a place we never intended to be.

He managed to come into the UFC at the tail-end of his prime (mid-30's is still prime for guys his size).

Just goes to show the value of staying in shape and working on your skills.

I know what I'm about to say may be seen as me being out of line but whether anyone agrees with me or not, I do not care. Jon Jones is beginning to seriously reminds me of OJ Simpson. OJ was involved in a high speed car chase, Jon was driving away from the police, crashes his car and apparently he hit a pregnant woman with his car (whose arm he broke I might add) then he proceeds to run away from the crime scene. they both take drugs (honestly, it's rare that people don't nowadays), and the last but most serious sign that he you need to remember is that he beats his wife and for some reason, he is still allowed to fight in the UFC because what? He's good? Forget all that, he needs to be in Jail but no, he gets lenient sentences because of who he is. There are way too many similarities between Jon and OJ and anyone who does not agree with me would have to be a fool to think otherwise. After he retires from MMA, I'm not saying it's going to happen but I definitely see him snapping.

This makes me appreciate old-school fighters so much more. "The longest recorded fight with gloves was between Andy Bowen of New Orleans (1867-94) and Jack Burke (Texas, 1869-1913) at New Orleans, Louisiana, USA on 6 April 1893. It lasted 110 rounds, 7 hr 19 min (9:15 p.m.-4:34 a.m.), and was declared a no contest (later changed to a draw)." Also sometimes fight 100+ fights in a year. Now I know the Muay Thai guys still do some of this & people say to be careful not to take too much damage too early but damn, that's badass.

Side note here. ALL of Anthony Johnson’s losses were by rear naked choke. Man. My favorite underrated fighter of all time. An absolute monster. Just a little bit more bbj feel and he would’ve been 100% unstoppable

For me, the biggest waste of prime years was Triple C. The King Of Cringe. He made the 125-135 division super fun to watch with his comical antics. And yeah, the dude could fight! Damn shame.....

Henry Cejudo & Conor McGregor both could’ve done so much more if they would’ve stuck around I mean at least Cejudo defended his titles but imagine some of the fights they could’ve had I said it before and I’ll say it again I feel like ever since Conor fought Mayweather he doesn’t have that same passion for fighting like he once did

Nick's downfall is nothing but heartbreaking. He was once my favorite fighter, now he's out there a junkie. From what I've heart he never got over the death of his girlfriend. Which is so f*cking sad. Things shouldn't be that way. There should be help available for him... maaan. His amazing journey, all for nothing.

Anyone wondering what movie that Daniel Craig "are you taking the f-ing piss" line is from, that's Layer Cake, a criminally underrated crime drama along the lines of Lock Stock and Snatch. If you like those two then definitely check out Layer Cake, it's amazing.

"wasted" is a stretch. There's more important things in life than punching someone in the face.. it's necessary sometimes but a life dedicated to it is a wasted life.

Jones and Conner are easily the most frustrating. The most popular fighters in all of MMA and have both been massively inactive for the past 6 years. Reason why everyone respects Alex Pereira so much is he’s taking advantage of what little prime years he has left.
