Question: Is two months enough time to train for my first MMA fight?

( Back )

Answer #1:

So you basically have 2 months of real training, and a little karate and boxing here and there as a kid. If you want to you can fight, it's completely up to you and if you feel you are ready it's fine.

I haven't fought anyone yet though outside of my gym and I have had a lot more training then you.. 2 months is not enough but like I said it's your choice

Answer #2:

well hopefully you are sparring allot of guys who have been in there before and know what it takes. win lose or draw a fight is a wonderful experience and no matter what the outcome you will become a better fighter from the it. keep in mind the guy you are fighting may have had a great deal more experience than you do but everyone has to start somewhere there are always a million reasons not to fight no matter what fight you take. also consider that it may be a setup try to learn about your opponent if its his first fight too take it if he has previous fights don't take it.

Answer #3:

you're jumping in to this really quick.

This is almost a guaranteed loss for you, but if you go into this knowing that, this could be a huge learning experience for you. Honestly if i was 18 and in good shape, had a good wrestling base and really really good conditioning...i would do it.

for the next two month i would work on my conditioning! you're not going to improve your bjj or boxing enough to make a difference in the fight. but you can seriously improve your conditioning. i would be looking to take him into deep water and out last him.

go into this knowing you;re going to lose! take it as a learning experience and go from there...if you come out on top awesome, but don't expect to, not after training for a couple months. i know guys that have been training for a long time and haven't gotten a win yet....one has two fights and the only only one.

The one thing you will notice when you get in there is how much your adrenaline takes out of your gas tank....when training and doing exercises like "fish bait" you may be able to last all 5 round...when you get in the cage your adrenaline will take have your energy...learning to control that is huge to going the distance

good luck bro

Answer #4:

Idk if you will be successful, but I say go for it! You will probably get your azz beat but hey that's life right? If you already took the fight just go for it train your butt off and who knows? you might win. Good luck and God speed :)

Answer #5:

yup then try an nba training camp.

listen here's the real deal, guys like you typical go (w,l,t) 1-2-0, 2-1-0, 0-3-0 in your first three fights, or maybe you win them, and they are against guys like you, that don't know ANYTHING about fighting. then you lose your next three fights (against real fighters) and are at best 2-3-0. you've now ruined your shot at the big league because you can't erase your record. but you'll go on to tell everyone your a pro mma fighter because youve made 800 bux get your ass kicked and being a stepping stone for someone who actually puts their time in, and you'll spend the rest of your time training realizing you wasted your time

after 2 months you coach wants you to fight? mine says 3 years and has put out number one contenders in big promotions. whats wrong here?

Answer #6:

You're more than likely going to lose, but you'll figure some things out. You'll either find out that you love it, or that you don't really like fighting as much as the idea of being a fighter. I'm guessing its the second one. People who know they can fight, and want to fight don't ask for support from people online. They don't ask if its a good idea to fight or not, they just go fight and see what happens. You already want attention for being a "fighter", and thats why you posted on here. Get off the computer and go train. Like homeboy said, work your conditioning. Do you even know your opponents record? Any background? Start taking this serious if it is really what you want to do. 3oz gloves hurt like hell when they blast you in the nose dude. MMA is really hard, and just because you've dominated dudes in your gym doesn't mean anything. There are so many gyms out there these days, and your gym could be slacking a little compared to others around. I mean, no real experience and you're supposedly already dominating everyone on the ground.....I'd find a gym with some real talent in there. Just have fun dude, and hope you don't run into someone more experienced looking to hurt some newbie just to make a statement.

Answer #7:

You can do a lot of things in two months, but if you're not careful, it can blaze by in an instant. Put everything into your training, and when the time comes, do your best. Win or lose, you'll gain experience that can only help you in your next fight.

Answer #8:

The Answer is Maybe

First you do have some sort of fight experience besides streetfights right???(even wrestling matches would do) If the answer is No then I would think about not fighting in 8 weeks

The other question is opponent your facing. Are you gonna be fighting someone with more then 3 fights already. If So I would say DON'T take the fight.

If you have some sort of competitive experinece in fight sports(either a boxing match or wrestling or submission grappling match)and the guy you will be facing has 3 fights or less then I would say go for it.

Answer #9:

Depending on your teachers ability. If he's training at his home then that means he doesnt have access to a gym. How good could he be? I've been training for a few months and I'm still not sure I'm ready. If your gonna do it, try to train more then 3 days a week. and when you say working out, weight lifting is NOT good for mma, you only want the muscles that you need. The bigger the muscles, the more they'll fill up with blood, the heavyer they'll get and the faster youll get tired. Do A LOT of cardio and sparring. by the time your going into your fight you should be sparring at almost if not full force. have your tacher be VERY picky on what your doing so you do everything prefect. those 2 months will go by fast. But don't forget to also have fun with it. Don't do it if you don't love it.

Answer #10:

I watched a friends cousin fight after three months training and 15 seconds into the fight i was yelling get him to hell out of there cause i am 60 years old and could kick this kids butt out in the parking lot .. Trainers put kids in the cage with little or no training to collect the money for furnishing a fighter .. be damn careful

Answer #11:

I would say it really depends on the experience of your opponent and if this is taking place in a cage or in a ring. You can never directly control how good your opponent is but it is certainly better if he will be largely inexperienced like you are and there would be less chance of that if you had a year of training under your belt.

The second big factor in this is if this fight takes place in a cage. I judge allot of MMA fights, amateur as well as pro fights and one big thing I see in the amateur fights usually is that a fighter does not know how to fight off the side of the cage, how to turn the other fighter and put him up against the cage, or when hemmed in against the side of the cage and on the mat create space and room to manuveur and maybe get an escape and back up to his feet. If your fight is taking place in a cage spend allot of time and practice on these aspects so that you are more prepared and have an idea of how to better deal with these things.

Answer #12:

I say go for it! Not many people get an opportunity like this and most would jump at the chance. This fight will be great for you. You will learn more from it than from 6 months of training. You put yourself in the right place at the right time and opportunity knocked on your door - Answer it! Always remember that opportunities missed seldom come around again. Take advantage of them every time.

Do your best. Put on a good show. Enjoy the moment.
