This is where you haven't watched Florian enough. He is so sick and dangerous. His Jiu-Jitsu and Elbows are amazing, and Roger was way siked out over contract talks.
X, good point. I think Huerta's mind was not in it however KFlo is only 32 and many would argue that is the most prime age (young 30's) for MMA. Obviously people peak at different times but with all you have to know these days, you need that experience and all around training to really kick in.
I think this number will go down as young kids start to train for MMA at even 6 or 7. Now a days most people in the sport were on trained in one specialty before starting for MMA (generally wrestling, street fighting or BJJ only).

I think thats the best point yet. Youth isn't good, its peaking at your prime. You can't be 80 sure, but when your knowledge catches up with your talent you become dangerous.
