I'm 5'2, 25 yrs old, where would i start my MMA career (first match) at 125 or 130?

Question

till this day i havent seen any mma events here in the US that features fly weight class. i know japan has shows but how about in the US?

Answer 1

Lowest I know of is in the WEC and that's 135. Good luck man

Answer 2

Yeah, the lightest show I've seen is the WEC Bantamweight division. You won't make a lot of money or find a whole lot of guys at flyweight. Most small shows follow the UFC trend of not going past lightweight, even though the featherweight and bantamweight division in the WEC are probably the only reason why I watch it. Unless you're gonna go to Japan, you need to put some muscle on and at least try to get up to featherweight.

@Dr. Freddy: Most pro wrestling fans know its faked. They just go for the drama and chance of blood. The WWE is basically like a soap opera geared towards guys. The guys that watch it know that and don't really care.

Answer 3

You need to bulk up to 145 so that you can cut down to 135 to fight. there's no easy way around that if you want to be a pro. Many Pros who fight at 135 walk around at 160 or even higher then cut weight for their fight.  So start hitting the weights and chugging protein, eat constantly, spend an hour a day in the gym lifting with a good 5x5 lifting plan and get your weight up.
