I had my first fight on Oct. 21st at Pop's Niteclub in Sauget, IL. I lost by decision, 29-28 by all three judges, but I get to have a rematch on Dec. 9th at the St. Charles Family Arena in St. Louis. The event is called MMA Genesis and there are supposed to be fighters from MFS, American Top Team, and other top gyms from around the country so I'm pretty excited about it.

Yep that and usually some rule differences like no elbows and shorter rounds. The major one is if you get paid or not though

Does anyone know where the closest place to Pa where a new fighter can compete. I have 6 years of wrestling. Some boxing and am starting muay thai. The closest place I can find is Missouri. Thanks

Tristar Gym.. Now there's a place I would love to train at. Next time I am in Montreal, I will most definitely have to stop in.
