Can I become a UFC fighter at 23?
As the sport grows competitors get younger and younger. Both the Diaz brothers started when they were in their teens. Sean O’Malley who is fighting on the UFC 229 pay-per-view next month is 23 and has a 10–0 record. He won his contract on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series and seems to be becoming a fan favorite with the younger crowd.Your question asks, “Can I become a UFC fighter at 23?” If you are specifically targeting the UFC, that could be a little harder as you have to fight your way through regional promotions to get the experience you need, then you could fight for Bellator, Professional Fighters League, or any of the other promotions that have picked up steam. The UFC isn’t the only game in town and you may even like other promotions better than them.If you have not started training, find yourself a good Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy that has a good striking and wrestling program and let the instructor know your intentions so they can start building the right skill-set for you. You may even start liking grappling so much you get heavy into the submission grappling circuits which can only refine your skills for competing in MMA.Just remember, the sport is “mixed martial arts” and not only with the UFC. If you keep that in mind, there’s a lot of opportunities out there for you.
My dughter wants to be a ufc fighter.How would she become that?
Well then I suggest training in mixed martial arts gym. But one thing you should definitely know is that a mere one or two hours of training in any gym would not be enough to be a top professional fighter. You'll be able to see if she really means it or just saying it or not by how hard she is training. Most people I know that said they wanted to be the best fighters in the world became lazy in the end and gave up that dream. But I haven't. Anyways, you simply keep training hard and that's it. At the gym and even if you're not at the gym. Some fighters train 7-8 hours a day, some trains three and a half hours three times a day and etc. It's not how long you train but how hard you train within that time. I'm not too sure about what goes on in the women's division for any kind of fighting but I think it's kind of similar.
I wanna become a mma/ufc fighter but.....?
The guy above me has some decent points but he is also an idiot in some ways, MMA is the ultimate test for martial artists, any tournament will test you but MMA would have to be "it" When you are actually going to test youself against a real person in a full contact match, that is when you REALLY need to devote yourself to martial arts and overcome alot of fears and really grow as a person, otherwise you grow old thinking of what could have been if you faced your fears and didnt make up excuses, tournaments are not real fights they are challenges, a challenge that every martial artists should aim to fufil in their lifetime, i dont really know a good place to train, just dont listen to tim o alright? Maby search out Bas Rutten, he is the **** and will train you well, good luck and hope to see you in the UFC someday
How to become a women mma fighter?
Step 1) Join the girls wrestling team for your highschool and stick with it through college 100% Step 2) If you have time off and energy from Wrestling, Join a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school, that has Kickboxing or Muay Thai also. Mix it up with the Kickboxin or Muay Thai on the weekends. If you can't do Step1) or Step2) you might aswell keep dreaming. Step 1) is essential. I passed up huge opportunities by not joining the wrestling team. Join it immediately. If they already have their team, ask if you can practise with them, so you can be ready for next wrestling season. I am sure the coach will let you. 99% sure he or she will say 'yes, sure, but you wont get any special favours. you have to work hard like the other players'. You understand little miss? lol. Have fun.
How do I become a mma fighter?
I want to become a mma fighter (Pride FC, UFC). I have been boxing for one year now with one fight which I lost by points, I've also been doing Taek-won-do for about a year and a half. I'm 16 years old and I weigh in at 165 pounds and I also know a little of basic grappling. The Bad thing is that I think its band in my state Victoria Australia. cheerz
How do I become an MMA fighter?
You could become a pro MMA fighter or pro Boxer right now if you wanted with no fights under your belt. They'll just give you a physical exam, blood test, and put you through a couple rounds of sparring to see if you aren't going to die in there. Of course that's ill advised as you're going into the pros with less experience than an amateur.But the thing you need to know is cash rules everything around me, meaning you're not going to be treated especially well if you become a pro and have no background worthy enough to sell. You'll be most likely used as meat, a fighter who is likely to loose to a more experienced or talented fighter. Believe me, matchmakers, promoters, and all kinds of people looking to make money off fights will lie to your face if you're a fighter and say, “Your opponent just got off the couch, 1 year lay off you should win this easy” when in reality he is the one being groomed for victory. As was for example the case in the movie The Fighter, based on Micky Ward. So it's better you get a amateur resume first, then turn pro so people at least know who you are and can market you better and if you do well enough in the amateurs you can even get a well known promoter who can pay you good money.
How to become a good fighter?
Ramen, Frank the Tank almost always nails it on the head so I'll say read what he says and I'll add two arts that feel are also worthy of recognition but very hard to find "genuine" teachers of true lineage, but nonetheless.. Wing Chun and Choy Lay Fut. Best wishes to you in your endeavors and search.
I'm 22, can I become an MMA fighter?
Yes. Train hard for few months and you can have your first amateur fight. Can you become pro and compete for a major organisation? That is a different question. In addition to talent it takes great deal of dedication, focus and hard work to get there. It also takes a bit of luck along the way to avoid major injuries that would take you off the track. How to get there. Find a good MMA gym that focuses on all aspects of the game and train hard and never give up and try to be the best in that gym. Once you out-grow that place time to move on. If it’s a major gym where top level fighters train you might stick around for a long time. Good luck.

I want to become a strong fighter. What style should I pursue?
Do you want to fight, or do you want to stop being an instinctive target for bullies? It seems to me that the latter is far more productive, and it doesn't generally involve any martial training whatsoever. It involves developing your self confidence, learning to project that self confidence in your everyday interactions with others (not the same as "acting like an asshole," by the way), and perhaps improving social skills. Developing self confidence, to me, means taking the time to become really good at something. It might be academics, or athletics, or something creative, or making stuff, or whatever. But when you find something you like and that you have talents for, and then take the time to develop those talents, your self confidence will generally increase -- and this comes through when you go through life and interact with people. It also helps to get in good physical condition, too -- to know that your body is under your control, and it is capable.Social skills are different and vary from culture to culture. In the West, I would start by getting in the habit of standing up straight, looking people in the eye when you talk to them (but don't stare), and speaking clearly and in a generally unhurried manner.If you have interests in learning the martial arts that include wanting to learn to fight, any of the ones you listed will do fine. It is more a matter of the instructor and what's available rather than the style you pick (e.g., if the BJJ instructor sucks but the wing chun guy seems to know what he's doing, you'll get more out of training wing chun. If the Muay Thai gym is down the street from your home and wing chun school is a 40 minute drive, maybe Muay Thai is the better choice for you because you'll be able to go more frequently.)Choosing a martial art to train has been discussed ad nauseum on Quora.
