    Nope. I'd like to say Not Yet, though. Might be soon, I hope. Depending on injuries and work :/

    I was actually hoping the thread was about being a natural fighter. Some people fight, some people don't. If you don't fight outside the ring or never have you're most likely not a fighter by heart. If you see someone being beat up by 2-3 guys, do you hide in shame or fight off the gang?

    No you said if they dont fight on the street they're prolly not a fighter...

    Thats a ridiculous statement.
    There's many fighters who came about after gettin bullied and said it was enough.


    But i digress. I will give fighting a go. See how I feel. When i was a kid I was fearless. I'd fight off multiple kids at the same time. At some point I lost it and became afraid of the consequences. Most likely after I broke a kids back. Now, im trying to learn back that mental state.

    Fought Amatuer once in August basically cause it was offered on about 2 hours notice and I was up for the challenge. I will get back in the cage when I feel im ready this sport is no joke.

    Yup my man it is not you gotta treat it seriously I took that fight with about 2 months of MMA training and you know the beginners stage is rough it takes months and years to really become something. I performed ok but I gotta be fully phyiscally and mentally prepared for the next fights like BJ Penn said if you treat the sport badly it will treat you badly back and IMO fighting with no training is bad a good freind of mine has never and doesnt seem to ever plan on training at a real club because he wont work and hes had 2 fights where he lost in 20 secounds both times although he tries to tell me hes had 3 other fights where he one which is bull**** I checked the dates and the results of the company he claimed he fought for and no mention of him. Plus he said when he ordered DVDs of those wins he got home and someone opened the box and stole the DVDs :patsch
