      21:00. Gaethje is also 35, and it's very strange that literally nobody is talking about his age. He is 3 years older than Max, and Max is only 32. According to statistics, there's about a 4% chance that Gaethje can win. Only 1 person out of 31 fights has won in a title fight, being 35 or over, at 170 pounds or less.

    It's just hard for me to think a guy Jai Herbert beat up for a round, beats Volk.
