So my question is: Is this pretty much true for everyone in MT?

That's bullshit,I'm 34 and I'm in Muay Thai.It's true I've taken quite a beating but I'm far from finished,I plan on continueing for at least another 5-6 yrs.then I'll go on to something less aggressive but still realistic like Judo or Aikido.
My instructor and coach fought in UFC about 2 to 3 yrs.ago and he's only 1 yr.younger then me but has been in martial arts way longer then me.When he was 31 he knocked his apponent out in UFC with knee kick. He fights Pankration which is what I train in but I fight mostly MuayThai.
