Thread: First Fight

Hi all,

So, I've got my first fight on 26/6 - anyone got any tips or advice?! Its my first MMA bout so quite excited and a little nervous.

Any input/advice will be received with thanks

Personally I'd make sure your going to peak at the right time and stay calm and down go swinging for the fences, is your opponent more experienced or is it her first fight?, trust me the nerves will help

Good Luck MDB - if there's a video of the fight, make sure you post it!

thats right yeah... nerves will keep you on edge, just wait and get to know him in the first round dont go swinging like a nutter, composure can be an intimidating thing

Cool, thanks. Think I have a reach advantage so will use that and just relax.

This is my first fight ever lol, I know she's done interclubs, boxing and thai boxing...not sure what she's done mma wise though.

I'm looking forward to doing it for the experience but don't wanna get beat up in front of loads of people haha!

Well when prides at stake thats when you can use it to your advantage, You have a reach advantage as well so use that wisely. Just relax, throwing jabs, and wait and she if she makes a mistake, she will underestimate you and thats also a great advantage...

If you have the heart you can pull anything off! you ever seen Rocky!? lol

I've got the heart and I'm stubborn so won't give up easily lol! Met her in Brighton on Friday at the ZT show - she trains there. She's a kickboxer and has a wicked high kick so gotta watch that!

Oh, and I just found out yesterday that there is a chance that its gonna be televised on Bravo... Not sure if my fight will be on but just daunting to think about!

Anyone wanna sponsor me?!?! Lmao! :rofl:

How many fights has she had, non mma?

Sounds on the face of it a touch unfair if shes had a few stand up fights in the past but youve had none and are facing her.

Would have thought it would be like-for-like matches, especially at this stage in your MMA experience.

Agreed, sounds like she has more experience than yourself and the matchmaker is at fault if this is the case, no offence to you MDB

In all honesty, I don't know how many fights she's had - all I know is that it's her first MMA bout. She did Thai on Friday and another on Saturday....

Is her boxing - she's the first one that comes into the ring...

Im no matchmaker but as a noob to the sport, Id say its an uneven match.

Her with 3 non mma fights plus your first time with none, kinda looks a little off.
