    Who are some examples of this?

    Ones that sprung to mind for me where Antonio Escalante (Just 25, diminished punch resistance) and Steve Molitor (28 when it became apparent he wasn't at his best, irreparably mentally damaged), both of whom have shown signs of noticable decline at relatively young ages, and are clearly not operating at the same level as before certain fights/losses.

    What other examples are there?

    Well, there are rumours circulating that Vargas is planning a comeback and could face Nick Diaz, so maybe you weren't that far from the truth :yep.
