He is the second oldest champion in UFC history after being crowned Randy Cotter in 45 years and four months. “I will continue to break the codes at the age of 42,” Clover Dixiera, who was in the cage after the fight, vowed to be a “hard-working super champion” before paying tribute to his opponent tonight.
