That's true but he's 38 too. Look at what happened to Fedor. Arguably he's been fading a bit in the last couple years. His style is dependent on being faster than his opponents. He had some trouble against Chael too, especially in the first fight.
Arguably he was scared of the takedowns. On other forums people have been pointing this out. He started off with a traditional stance with his hands up but once Weidman got the takedown he started dropping his hands. The theory was that it helped him defend (stuff) against the takedown and that it encouraged Weidman to stand and trade on his feet instead of trying to take him down. Before he got knocked out Joe Rogan was going on and on about this that by playing into it Weidman was making a mistake. It makes some sense to me anyway.
