Answer 1

don't sit on internet land asking lame questions go running enrol at a Thai boxing gym enrol at a jiu jitsu gym go jogging go training do bouts in individual disciplines train hard train harder then after your first six months on the local fight circuit (that's fighting not training) see if you still want to go for it. also it takes years to be able to make a living out of fighting most people don't make it  but for what its worth good luck

Answer 2

Choose a base-style (if you want to be a stand-up fighter, or a grappler).  Then find a good MA gym and start training, and look into social networking.

Answer 6

You need to work on your strength and conditioning and find a good gym to train in.  After 6 months to a year of dedicated training (twice a day 6 days a week) you could compete in some amateur matches.  Learn from your competition and continue to improve.  If you are at a good skill level after a year or two, you could train at a higher profile gym and start to network to get some professional fights.  You could audition for "The Ultimate Fighter" TV show as well.
