Is there an age limit to fight in all legal Professional MMA promotions?

I know, 18 is the legal starting age to join pro MMA, but is there an age limit? I know it's surely beyond 47 since Randy Couture is still in MMA. But can you still fight even if you're already 50+? Let's assume someone is already 60 years old but still looks and fights even better than younger people. Do MMA promotions have an age limit?
I'm not being sarcastic or insulting to Randy Couture here. O_O

I'm simply asking because I know a guy that's over 55 years old but seems to be more capable than young professional fighters in our city.

most places impose and under age limit of 18 as you found out, but Legally no there isn't an upper age limit. Shamrock is pushing 50 and he still fights, he loses a lot but he still fights.

A lot of gyms and promotions are hesitant however to book match for the older stars. they generally wear out easily, suffer injury more often and that doesn't include heart attack and other factors
