How to Be a UFC Cage Fighter

This artical was written By eHow Contributor updated October 29, 2011

1 Find a gym that teaches mixed martial arts. Some gyms have trainers that specialize in MMA, while others have trainers that can work with newcomers on stand up and ground fighting skills.

2 Develop your stamina and watch your diet. This applies regardless of the sport. Fighters tend to need a high protein diet.

3 Enter as many competitions in kick boxing, grappling and amateur mixed martial arts as you can. Many of these early bouts will be low-paying affairs, but the experience is invaluable.

4 Send a tape of your performances to the UFC. Since UFC does not have the television exposure of other sports, the organization does not have an easy way to scout or evaluate talent. The UFC uses video to evaluate which new fighters it will book on any of its cards.
