Great post. I have no aspirations of fighting but I think you can use some of this information (contracts, preparedness) in other aspects of life too.

That really was a good read. You're completely right in all of that, especially talking about the circumstance surrounding fights like where and when. This should be stickied, every fighter in here should know this.

if nothin else..i woulda loved to have become a train hopping, prize fighting hobo. I could have hitched a ride on the tracks and gone from county to county, boxing the normals. Howd they would all scoff and snicker before the bout "Hah! What could that hobo possibly accomplish in this sport of kings? He is merely but a stray alley cat with mittens on his paws. Surely he will be beaten away like one."



But little would they know.. that .. nobody.. fights harder than a hobo.




edit: good topic btw KK

This is one of the best and most useful things I've read on sherdog, both for people hoping to fight professionally and those who just want to get a better understanding of what pro fighters have to go through. Bravo.
