Lists about fighters who compete in mixed martial arts and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Inside the Cage

The oldest current UFC fighters are battling more than their opponents every time they step into the octagon. They are battling time and the ravages of aging. They are doing their best to stay fit, stay strong, and stay healthy, all in an effort to stay in the game.

If it feels like fighters such as Anderson Silva and CM Punk have been around forever, that&#39;s because they have been. Silva started his UFC career in 2006, and that was after spending a decade on the kickboxing and MMA circuits. All of these fighters, from Marion Reneau to Nathan Coy, have shown the discipline and reslienece necessary to compete at the highest level well past the time most fighters have stepped out of the octagon for good.

So who are the best fighters over 40, the older fighters who have managed to carry their careers into 2019 and beyond? Vote below for the best current elderstatemen (and women) in the UFC, then head over and check out some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/mma-legends" target="_blank">best MMA competitors of all time</a>.

Martial Arts

Action stars are a special breed. The purely physical component of acting - so perpetually underappreciated - is squarely their domain. They not only put their bodies on the line for the sake of entertainment, but have to express physically what other actors tend to get across in words and dramatic close-ups. All due respect to the invaluable stunt performers and choreographers who make it all look easy, action stars often have to be well-versed in <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-learned-real-skills-for-roles/williamsbrianjake">a number of advanced skills</a>, from martial arts to military-grade weaponry to swordfighting. They save the world, avenge the family, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/times-action-heroes-shouldnt-have-survived/jessica-bedewi">miraculously survive in the face of impossible odds</a>.And then there’s the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tom-cruise-over-the-top-role/melissa-sartore">Tom Cruise</a> of it all, the kind of action star so dedicated to the craft that he does even the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stunts-that-almost-hurt-tom-cruise/anncasano">most extreme, dangerous stunts</a> for real.There are many different types of action stars, from Bruce Willis’s wily everyman to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s over-muscled superman; from Bruce Lee’s gracefully violent martial artist to Keanu Reeves’s American counterpart; from Denzel Washington’s old-school toughness to Liam Neeson’s old-man brutality.And though the genre has been largely defined by men, let’s not forget the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-action-movie-characters/alex-kirschenbaum">action heroines</a>, as the likes of Sigourney Weaver, Charlize Theron, Linda Hamilton, and Milla Jovovich have made careers of going toe-to-toe with anyone and anything.Collectively, these action stars have been responsible for some of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-action-movies">greatest action movies of all-time</a>.

What are some of the&nbsp;things you didn&#39;t know about Trunks? On the meta end of things, there&#39;s the fact that the reason his hair color is inconsistent is that Toriyama didn&#39;t feel like going back to check how&#39;d he&#39;d colored it before, and just went with whatever he was feeling at the moment. Within the series itself, did you know that Trunks isn&#39;t the only person who shares his unusual name?

This is a list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-wwe-superstars-of-all-time/ranker-wrestling?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best WWE Superstars</a> of the 2010s.

And also a list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-wwe-superstars-of-all-time/ranker-wrestling?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best WWE Superstars</a> of the 2000s.The Attitude Era survived into the new century but times they were a changin'. Wrestlers that used to be mid-carding back in the 90s were stepping up their games and fighting their way into the main event, like Edge. 90s megastars were starting to gracefully fade themselves out, like Stone Cold Steve Austin. And in 2005 a new superstar named John Cena (?) burst onto the scene and changed wrestling, changed the WWE forever (like it or not... I assume we're all about 50/50 on this).The 2000s was a great era for the WWE, though for some reason it is undervalued. Probably because hindsight is 20/20 (clears throat: we didn't know John Cena was going to become John Cena). Somewhere in there was the era of &quot;Ruthless Aggression.&quot; Come on! That was awesome! Don't think so? Why don't you check out Mick Foley vs. Edge at Wrestlemania 22.Anyway, who do you think is the top WWE Superstar of the 00s?
