EDF MMA/Fighting May Thread

I think they'd just call it "heavyweight" and not have a cap, but I guess it depends on whatever (if any) regulatory bodies are in place. Mostly I think it's just up to the promoters. I went to an event last night where a guy from my gym fought at HW against a dude who should definitely be SHW.

Just tried to call my old gym in Worcester and apparently they closed. So there goes my chance of having someone call on my behalf. Problem is most of the place around here are small so I dont know if they have many connections.

I emailed one promter though. Only shows in state are Reality and Bellator. I know I cant get on a Bellator show. Reality is somewhat big enough where I couldnt just start there too right?

So you're 30, have a LHW frame at around 300lb (?), and trained for 6 months 2 years ago? Good luck with your fighting career man

[wesrwood]

A: you registered to post that? LOL

I have a Heavyweight or Light Heavyweight frame. Im very out of shape right now. I was 240 a year ago.

[nutsfl0pper]

I reg'd a few days ago but found that interesting enough to post yea. LOL

I think a promotion called "reality" should let you fight just for the irony. But to be serious, respect if u get in the cage for funzies

[wesrwood]

I didnt mention it but Im 6'2 or 6'3 so Im not like 300 pounds of fat. I have like a Roy Nelson build. I have muscular legs and solid arms with a gut.

[wesrwood]

I will keep you guys updated and hopefully some of the Northeast guys can come watch me get my ass kicked IF I get a fight

[kingofcool]

I also have the Roy Nelson build working towards da "Zuluzinho".

Keep us posted. Really cool.

[wesrwood]

When I moved to MA I weighed between 280-310. I got all the way down to 235-240. Then I moved back to CT and got divorced and had some issues with my jobs. I got really depressed and ballooned back up to 310.

Once I get a fight I can lose the weight pretty fast. Just need to have a reason to lose it

[pageh656]

seems like youd be better off starting to lose weight now? would be cool tho, good luck settin things up

[wesrwood]

Ive lost 5 pounds but thats not much. Got a response from one place but it was just asking some more questions

[GTBMuckface]

I doubt that can be profitable. Ill be lucky to get 500 for my first fight

[Phresh]

Do you really think they're going to pay you $500 to fight in an amateur SHW fight?

This isnt going to be an amateur fight. Its going to be a pro fight
