Default Oldest MMA fighter to have a real fight ?

I was wondering who is the oldest women to have a real mma fight ? Kathy Long had a real fight in 2015 when she was 51. The fight is on YouTube. She looks to be in great shape for 51 in the he video.

Wow that 68 year old women should of never been in the cage fighting. She is lucky she didn’t get hurt badly in that fight.

In a the other two fights Kathy Long and Kim Woods did just fine being over 50 and still fighting

There's a big difference between being 51/52 and 68. Just as there is a big difference between being 20-40 and 50+.

Kathy or Kim would probably get hurt badly against UFC calibre fighters or a badly scouted up and coming fighter (think a young Maycee Barber or someone). Even someone like Alex Albu or Jinh Yu Frey from 115 let alone the elite of her 125 class Shevchenko.

Kathy fought complete backwater cans of WMMA. Nothing wrong with that and it still proves Kathy is good in her own right, a lifetime of training and fitness. It was good to see she still has an appetite to compete in her 50s.

These things are all relative. Ann Perez, the 68 year old, was still moving great for a 68 year old and I'd bet there are some low-level 20, 30, 40 somethings she could compete with but obviously there are major limitations.

It's all about finding a level at which you can compete.
