    Sup brahs...

    My next Amateur MMA bout is in April but should I also take a K1 rules fight in May?

    I've spent the last year working really hard on my ground game so should i still take the fight?

    Thoughts? :think

    Be good experience and it's after the MMA fight, so it won't leave you injured for that.

    How many weeks between the first fight and the second?

    You'll have about 3 weeks once you get back from Europe to train for the fight.... not too bad. Depends what you're doing in Europe...

    Take it. Win, lose or draw it's experience, for your body as well due to the quick turnaround.

    Good luck :good

    What do you have to lose? If MMA is your core sport then K1 will only help you improve. If K1 is your core sport then you should be competing in it.

    BJJ is my main sport at the moment and the MMA is just there...

    I've got this K1 option too plus it's a chance to earn a few squid :think

    I'll have a long hard think about it and let you all know :deal

    Yeah a month should be enough to heal up an superficial cuts and bruises. Holland is the perfect place to get some training and sparring in for kickboxing. Shame you won't be training. I suppose there is a risk of injury if you did as well.

    Until someone is a professional athlete then I tell them they have NOTHING to lose except ego. Take every spar and amateur fight that you can.
