By the end of MGS3 Snake has managed to win in hand-to-hand combat against a guy (Volgin) who can punch through reinforced metals that are immuned to RPG; with skins that are unaffected by even repeated headshots of the highest calibre sniper... and Snake can beat him by just punching (and also survive his metal shattering punches repeatedly to Snake Skulls to boot). By Peace Walker time Snake could survive bench pressing a 500 ton... Peace Walker... and could even benchpress against even the 2 times as big (and probably 4 times as heavy) Cocoon... and still survive Probably a case of gameplay and story segregation trope at play here... but wouldn't be surprise to see him CQC Armstrong to death if he were still alive Anyhow, R.I.P Predator
Didn't one Dark Horse storyline stated doing such thing will grant eternal youth and increase regeneration.
In the Concrete Jungle game, the Yautja/Predator "Scarface", has his blood sprayed over Isabella and her sickly newborn son, Hunter, after getting shot in the eye. Scarface's blood made them somewhat immortal as they lived for a 100 years. That's until Scarface came back from exile and kills them both for redemption from his superiors after a mistake of exposing himself and leaving his tech and weapons behind.

There was a storyline in the comics involving a samurai/ronin who had lived for four hundred years and up after eating a Yaujta's heart. So yes, it does give you pseudo immortality.
'Ah I see you've caught yourself a Yautja. The Yautja, also known as Hish-Qu-Ten, are a group of warrior aliens also referred to as Predators. They possess advanced technology that has a vast array of applications and are known for hunting dangerous game in order to make it their trophies. Typically a young Yautja will go hunting and come back with a successful kill in order to pass a rite of passage. They only hunt beings that prove a challenge so you should be extra cautious. Their main weapons include a series of lasers, blades and their most deadly asset is their invisibility and thermo-vision and UV vision. Since they're so large it'll be impossible to catch one alive.'
