Answer 1

you gotta lose weight...it will come with training, but you gotta work at it before you start training.  you have to be 18 before you can legally have an MMA fight...

Answer 2

Don't listen to the people on here who tell you to lose weight.  some of the best MMA fighters were your height/weight.( think Igor or Fedor or Jeff Monson)The best thing for you to do is enroll in a respectable MMA school and hit the mats. Learn as much as possible and develop your style. A wrestling background is very helpful. As you learn and grow, you will gain knowledge along the way with regards to conditioning and you will eventually figure out what weight class you want to fight in if you train long enough. You are 15 - you will continue to grow.

It all starts with finding a trainer, and learning as much as possible about the MMA game. Good luck

Answer 3

for your height i would say you gotta drop to at least 185, but your height might be more suitable between 170-155. you should look at the local classes around your area for martial arts that are used in mma. look for any forms of grappling and kick boxing or even just boxing. and try out for your school wrestling team.

Answer 4

just start running and exercising and weight lifting, get yourself in really good shape, then work on your technique.  you're young, you have plenty of time.  wrestle in high school.

Answer 5

lose weight. youll feel a lot better and if your quick for your size, youll become even faster without realizing it.

Answer 6

Are you a decent looking guy? Are you willing to sacrifice your looks and possibly live w/ a permanent injury. There's a world full of tough guys trying to do the same thing, even if your the best in the world , you won't be for long, there's somebody just waiting for you to have a bad night. Not to mention you have to be able to ignore amazing amounts of pain. IF YOU CAN LIVE WITH ALL THAT THEN DO IT, Good luck to you :)
