Diggin’ Deep on UFC: Brunson vs. Holland - Can the UFC’s oldest fighter keep her roster spot?

Is it just me, or does it feel like AARP should be sponsoring the UFC Vegas 22 prelims? Maybe they would have had Johnny Eduardo not pulled out, but even with his absence, there are still two other 40-plus competitors scheduled to compete. Eduardo would have made three, but it’s still got to be considered impressive to see anyone competing at this level at that age, especially if they aren’t heavyweights. In fact, Marion Reneau is the oldest member of the active roster, beating Aleksei Oleinik for that title by five days. However, she’s also on a three-fight losing streak and facing someone many thought at one point could be a future title challenger at women’s bantamweight in Macy Chiasson.
