Next month, a 46-year-old fighter with two wins in his last five fights will compete for a UFC title.
Just a few weeks ago, the UFC featherweight champion and a lightweight contender fought at welterweight and it drew the most pay-per-view buys in promotion history. No title on the line.
And just eight days ago, a former pro-wrestling star with little martial arts experience before last year made his MMA debut on the main card of a UFC pay-per-view. The ex-WWE headliner made more money than most UFC champions do in the process.
Situations like this have been going on since the birth of MMA.
