NO WAY!

Answer 2

That someone would need to go out and get some formal training and experience. End of story.

Answer 3

ask amir

Answer 4

Amir had no previous street fights and I think he had maybe 1 pro mma fight.... but he was trained very well in muay thai and bjj. If I were you I would watch all of the old tuf seasons and maybe that will give you some ideas.

Answer 5

You can't its not a fake show you have to fight to get on and you have to fight to win. Unless you have some type of fighting experience then you stand no chance of getting on the show. While you do not need experience in the sense that you have to have trained from someone you do need experience in the sense that you can fight and you have proven that in a sanctioned fight.

Performing in front of others is how you get exposure and exposure leads to recognition and if your recognized by the right people than you can get on the show, if you have the talent and are in the weight classes they are looking for.

Answer 6

Well, first off, you def need some good training. They don't just pick every bar room brawler off the street for this show, they pick quality fighters. Then you go to the open casting call that they have. They give you an interview and then they give you a couple minutes to show off your grappling and striking skills. What you actually do there, I'm not sure. I don't know if you shadow box or punch a bag or spar with someone, or if you roll with someone or you just roll with a heavy bag. But hey, if you impress them, you could get on the show. Thats how Amir got there, and look at him now.
