I'm not saying all middle-aged men are dominant. Ken Shamrock helped build the sport and got his ass handed to him the entire latter half of his career. Bernard Hopkins is still a champ in boxing as well, and still a great fighter. Age only affects you if you let it. It's only way it's not a good advert is if the middle-aged fighter doesn't fight on a remotely decent level. In Randy Coutures case, he's only gotten better, stronger, and more intelligent with age.
