usually you have to work up from lower prestige feds (almost always actually)
or as an offside shot you could be from a school affiliated with one of the big names of MMA
a Militech fighter or someone from ATT (and be one of the best they have trained...)

Or keep showing your face at TUF tryouts. Even if you don't make it on the show, there's always a chance they'll remember your name. Kane Fan's pretty much covered it.
Except for making it big in Japan first. But that's a really round-a-bout way of doing it.Kung Fu saved my life.

tuf is done after season 8
so you would need to work your way up
win fights at local shows , get with a bigger org (ala cage rage or ring of fire )
then win there , then the ufc will call youmy blogs

Get a decent fight record and get your name out in the circuts. That's about it except for TUF or a good connection.

That's what I meant by round-a-bout. It'd take the same work you'd have to do here, but in Japan.Originally Posted by Kane Fan

You could also conquer another sport and jump to MMA. Or be a pro wrestler...

More then likely you will have to get some wins on your record at smaller shows then work your way up and get some decent fights in.
Always a plus is if you are able to FINISH fights and get the crowds to remember you.
Word of mouth is always #1 in my book.
Eventually you should get some sort of manger who is able to network and make the connections for you so all you've got to worry about is training and not what is going on outside the cage/ring
--Source for TUF 8 being the last season???--

What kind of guy comes in here saying that he's not interested in training for MMA at a local gym, he just wants a tryout, lmao. As if to imply that he doesn't need to train for it... he can just walk up and beat up a MMA fighter.
Come on... I call troll.

Right and someone who is used to no rules....say....A STREET FIGHTER would get tooled in and MMA fight. (don't say a word about Kimbo)Originally Posted by pyrothehitman
Aikibujutsu, I am pretty sure is not for competition and only self presurvation in a time of crisis. Find a boxing gym somewhere. I drive 30 minutes to get to where i need to go to train. Trust me when i say the path is not as easy as you think or want it to be. I have been training for 7-8 months and i have just started sparring.
You may think you are hot **** till you see some one trying to feed their family with MMA or Thai. They will walk through you in a second. Earn your keep and train.
