Re: My first MMA fight coming up.
Have as many amateur fights as possible before going pro. A lot of fighters jump into the big leagues immediately with 3 wins or so in the amateurs then have moderate success and can't really improve, like they hit a glass ceiling. Whereas amateur boxers and kickboxers with 50 fights under their belt moving to the pros tend to have a lot more longevity.
My tips without any cage experience: Stay calm, don't worry about it just go out there and see how you do but stay sharp. If you can not gas in the first 3 minutes you're better conditioned than 90% of amateur and low level pro fighters. Having a calm demeanor goes a lot further than running 80 miles a day as conditioning prep. For conditioning I would run sprints, lots of them. ---- long distance jogging that ---- doesn't apply here. Sprint after sprint after sprint will get your recovery up, that's how we did it in track. You're gonna get tired, the repeated sprints just make you recover faster. Being tired and gassing are kind of different things too. Gassers don't recover.

Crxmatt, just make sure you get a good sleep and a good breakfast in you. Always seems to help before I workout or train or anything.
