43-year-old UFC veteran Francisco Trinaldo feels ‘really young,’ wants to fight until he’s 50

UFC veteran Francisco Trinaldo still sees a long road ahead of him before he thinks about retiring from mixed martial arts. At the ripe age of 43, the Brazilian just picked up a split decision win over Dwight Grant and wants to keep the momentum going for much longer.

In an interview with Combate, ‘Massaranduba’ explained that he feels reinvigorated at the new division and eager to continue fighting at a high level. In fact, if Francisco manages to stay healthy, he wishes to compete until he retires at the age of 50.

“I told my friends and coaches, this is all I’m good at,” Trinaldo said.
