In the history of the UFC, there were quite a few age-old fighters who could ask bashing to younger and hungry opponents.
This usually did not happen often when fighters who were more than 35 years old could win several fights in a row.
Nevertheless, there are still such heroes. In this article I will tell you about UFC age fighters, with the longest winning streak starting at age 35.

Michael Bisping

An English fighter nicknamed Graf ended his career in 2017 after losing to St. Pierre and knocking out Calvin Gastelem.
But before that, he went on a series of 5 victories, which began in 2015 at the age of 36 years.
The Earl alternately cracked down on CBS Dollaway, Thales Leites, Anderson Silva, Luke Rockhold and Dan Henderson.

Anderson Silva

The fighter from Brazil, who received the nickname "Spider" also has 5 victories after the execution of 35 years.
He twice defeated Chail Sonnen and knocked out such fighters as Vitor Belfort, Yusin Okami, Stefan Bonnard.
After that, in the career of "Spider" began a black and hopeless streak of failure. In the next 7 fights, he was able to win only 1 time.

Francisco Trinaldo

Now the Brazilian athlete is 41 years old and he continues to perform in lightweight. Of course, the best years of this fighter are behind.
When he was 36 years old, he defeated Leonard Silva, and then, unexpectedly for many, won 6 more victories in a row.
However, such an achievement could not guarantee him a fight for the title and for the 8th time he lost to Kevin Lee.

Demian Maya

Another native of Brazil on our list, who is 41 years old and continues to cage with younger fighters.
Also, like Trinaldo, he was able to win 7 victories in a row after 36 years.
Demian was a welterweight and these victories allowed him to enter the title fight against Tyrone Woodley, but he lost this fight.

Yoel Romero

This Cuban fighter nicknamed "Soldier of God" had his first fight at the UFC when he was 35 years old.
From the very first fight, he began to show spectacular fights and won 8 consecutive victories in middle weight, 6 of which were won by knockout.
Thanks to this, he got a chance to fight for the championship belt with Robert Whittaker, but suffered a first defeat by the decision of the judges. I think he deserves the title of People’s Champion.
