From the lore of the Predator species, a Predator who goes for a hunt is trying to prove they are worthy of adult status in their society. As each Predator dies in the film they fail to attain adult status in their society.

Sort of like when a kid's drafted at the age of 18, and dies in a jungle on the far side of the planet, without ever once having lived as an adult in his home world.

Unless the kid went through many years of training then volunteers to go the jungle explicitly to hunt.
