Are You Too Old To Become A UFC Fighter??

[@Abduldoctor]

Hi Gabriel, big fan! Could you please do a clip of a suitable diet for kickboxers? I'm trying to lose weight, trained for 9 months (red belt) and my weight has flat-lined. I really can't wrap my head around what to do.

[@jaydenjohnson6670]

Weight class is a big factor as well. The 135-185 are where most people fall in weight. If you’re above or below there’s less competition. A lot of heavyweights don’t have the skills of the lower weight classes.

[@eddiesetera7998]

no matter what age, you have to earn your way into an opportunity. you have to grind from the basement and fight your way against very tough competition, so you have to be relentless, and fight through every challenge and setback, fighting has no sympathy and nobody will ever hand you anything and nobody cares how old you are, it's about performance

[@paulserafini9284]

I got really excited when you said 38 because I’m 34 and I started kickboxing at 33.5. However, I do have some traditional martial arts background from most elementary-highschool so not totally from scratch but I’m def still a beginner. And I have no wrestling and only the most basic bjj from the army. Probs a bit late for me. But I’m still going to keep it rolling and try my hand at amateur kickboxing when coach says I’m ready. Maybe if I pick up the ground game quickly do some amateur mma. We’ll see how far we go!

Man, I needed this video! I started muay thai 2 years ago just to get off the couch at 33, no ambitions of completing at all. I'm taking my first amateur fight next month at age 35. I didn't know how much I was going to enjoy this. Obviously, I'm having doubts being as old as I am. I have no plans of getting to the UFC, but something about training as much as I have brought out the competitive spirit in me, so I got to at least try.

[@kuhenson]

[@nod1186]

Honestly you could be any age to get into competitive fighting. If you’re older you just have to be realistic about making it to an organization like the UFC. I spent 5 years competing in Muay Thai. Decided to give MMA a shot. After 2 years of training I had my first MMA fight at 30. Won a 3 round decision. I personally don’t think you need any amateur fights.

[@statictech7]

Its you crunch the numbers of world champion level athletes it takes about 10-15 years to get there. There are of course exceptions and it may take less time depending on the sport. Use that as a template so if you are 28 it’ll probably be ten years before you are competing at the highest level. If its worth it to you then do it. Only mad men become great.

[@animenia3002]

[@zaid_____abd___]

Realistically, if you're 25 or older with no solid athletic or martial arts background, regardless of your weight class, it's very unlikely you'll make it to the UFC. I think if you're a big guy, fighting at middleweight or higher you could start later ie early 20s and have a decent chance at the UFC. if you're in your early 20s and welterweight or below it all depends on your background imo. Lerone Murphy is an interesting example of this where he was a high level footballer until he started MMA at 22 (He's a Featherweight).

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

Randy Couture is my favorite UFC fighter of all time. He didn't start until he was in his late 30s, and became light heavyweight and heavyweight champ! First guy to hold both titles in the UFC. I think Randy is an unusual specimen though, I wouldn't recommend going in that late or later for most people. 1) before doing that you need a life time of martial experience (Randy was NCAA champ in wrestling) and did boxing and was in the military before he ever got into the UFC. 2) When you are older your body does not recover from damage nearly as well as when you are young. This is the biggest reason I would recommend against going in late in age. But unusual individuals can pull it off.

[@user-rl7hm7ix5n]

Imo, until you're very good, having that kind of goal is detrimental to begin with. Focus on being the best you can be rn. Then when you are ready focus on winning your first fight. Then on winning more fights, then on winning fights in bigger events, and so on. One step at a time. If you are ever ready to try pushing into a big promotion like the UFC, you will know. Or you will know beforehand if you can't or shouldn't (or simply doesn't want to), but you'll be proud of your accomplishments anyway. I feel like wondering about this (specially when you are a beginner or very young) puts you in a state of "oh no I don't have time, it's not worth it" that makes it demotivating. Focus on the now instead, train your best, let time tell how far you will get. Any accomplishment along that path is definitely worth it. I don't think any champion ever started dedicating to a combat sport with the mentality "if I dont get into the ufc this is not worth it".

[@gvardiecky9507]

i dont think there is exact age when people have to start, BUT, the sooner the better, your body reshape itself. i started doing karate when i was 13-14 im now 20, im doing mma 2 years (7/12 was exactly 2 years) and i got great kicks, i can do things with relative control that others cant. people compliment my endurance and kicks and headmovement. but i know that there are guys that started with everything sooner. we got guy like that. i had 4 years of karate (shotokan) almost zero kumite, he had 7 years lol. he had 2 years of experience with mma before he came to us, but he had year or two when he wasnt training. so his experience is total around 10 years, and for me its 6 years i would say im almost equal to him in kickboxing. my kicks suprise everyone lol. and i love to counter in southpaw. in other words. it doesnt matter how long you train, its HOW you train. and also, what style you have against who. but it depends on what your mindset is. its easier for me to say things like that when im young and commited. and im sure i changed my body a bit thanks to training at younger age so i will have it easier then 30 year old that never trained before. but styles and strategies make ups the fight, not age of the fighters

Guys, DON'T WORRY! There is plenty of people that started super late and had a fair career. Charlie Ward, from Dublin, has started his journey as an amateur mma fighter around 33 with no prior experience as far as I remember! He fought in Bellator. Not as remarkable as the UFC, but Bellator is in the 3 big leagues of combat sports with UFC and ONE FC. That's one hell of an achievment itself! Trust the process, if you can't find competitors (I struggle a lot) do something else as a plus (ex. do kickboxing/muay thai and bjj/judo/wrestling and you'll find plenty of competitors in either of them, depending from where you are).

[@juhel5531]

I'm 30 lol. I'd have to come up with new and revolutionary tactics and strategies that would forever change the game if I wanted to compete in MMA. But boxing? Kickboxing? Pshh. It's almost impossible, I could probably physically do it if I sacrificed my life to it and made it my entire life but at that point, why bother since the chances of acheiving greatness worth that sacrifice is slim to none.

[@juhel5531]

Combat sports are rife with BS though and I think an old dude that would really grit their teeth and try to innovate would actually fair super well in the UFC. MMA as a sport is just so young and suboptimal even compared to other combat sports. Imagine future pugilists laughing at us for doing roadwork once they figure out a better more sports specific way get cardio. Imagine future MMA fighters using state of the art tech like the gloves that have a cooling system(requires specific temperature be maintained as if it's too cold the portal veins constrict and prevent cooling) built in that radically increases performance and endurance. I can't wait for when combat sports become a cold and logical chess match where heart becomes unimportant. I want AI to revolutionize combat sports the same way they did chess.

I'll get your attention with a few statements. Invincible cannot be prevented from reaching his Target even the best Chinese month doesn't stand a cannabis chance of preventing being struck exactly where we intend to strike the strikes can be totally incapacitating or deadly instantly. It is appropriately named the invincible strike. You can carry all the 17 deadly hands of kung fu specifically designed to devastate for parts of your body with only minimal power needed or energy expended . Can be compared to a missile delivering warheads. Every hand every conventional hand formation is only a representation of the true hand formations. If I were to make a fist replica out of steel and slam it into your skull at three times the speed of a normal punch what would it do? Do you think there would be any possibility of remaining conscience or even surviving it. The strike in the iron fist formation which I can teach you in second is very comparable and delivers exactly the same result. Now imagine punching or kicking into a wood chipper he would come out the other side chopped into pieces. Now imagine grappling with a 220 volt wire . Electricity which shoots through your nervous system and completely disable orcas incident death is it travel through your nervous system. Now imagine being a robot with tremendous strength and ability which has switches all over its body take control all of its movement and operation off and on switches. What if you even had a remote to control robot you will have this advantage over any opponents that you would step into a ring or be confronted by in a moral confrontation. What if your body could become three times stronger instantly in relation to its present strength,? It absolutely can be done and only takes a few minutes once you know the secret fun I will give you that secret right now. I know you know what hypnosis is and I've seen a woman put her head on one folding character heels on another and a man stand on her stomach. How is it possible,? Was hypnosis it is a stunt often performed by hypnosis in a show. How does this work your subconscious .

Younger people always think their bodies are older than it is, and older people always think their body is younger than it is...

Its mostly in your head. That is why skills develop from generation to generation. New generation always has higher exceptations in their head becouse its normal to do that stuff wich use to be hard for earlier generations. Its all in our heads. All generations have same potential in every sport but still sports develop from generation to generation. If a 40 years old muay thay fighter would go from year 2040 to year 1970 against someone 20 years old fighter..
