    Your training hard which is good. Have you fought in any local promotions yet? If not then that's where you start. I would recommend amateur bouts first because if you go pro right away and rack a lot of losses then it will count against you much more than if you have losses as an amateur. The best advise I can give you to have patience. I lost count of how many guys come into our gym expecting to jump right into the UFC and make tons of money.

    I am also 18 years old, also goaling to start MMA carreer, I hired personal trainer for MMA conditioning ( sth like Mike Dolce), he tells me what to do in gym, what to eat when, and helps me with tehnique, I pay him 200 euros/month, and its great. I suggest same to anyone who is planning to start. Hire personal coach and he will tell you what to do.
