I would absolutely have gotten into MMA about 8 years ago when I first started watching UFC if my eyesight wasn't so goddamn bad. Pro fights don't allow any kind of contacts, so I'd need some A+ lasik for my eyesight. Glasses can still correct me to 20/20 but I'm worse than 20/800 uncorrected. I'm not saying I would be rocking out with my cock out on PPV main events, but I think I could have had a respectable low level pro career in one of the feeder organizations. The dream would have been ending up as a gatekeeper in MW or LHW.

But it's not about getting punched in the head for a living, it's about getting to punch people in the head for a living.

If you had a cape think of the possibilities.

I mean, I could still get back in shape and go train just as a hobby and exercise, but I think it would be kinda frustrating not being able to compete, and lasik ain't cheap. If the money for lasik suddenly dropped into my lap I might give it a shot despite the fact that I'm already 33.

Choose a sport you can compete in for many years to come, like BJJ.

I've always wondered if I could resist the urge to throw strikes when the adrenaline starts pumping though. Same reason why I never tried out fencing, despite having a pretty reputable fencing school in my old town. Wasn't sure if I could resist the urge to just swing the damn thing. I've got a pretty strong aggressive instinct. I used to do that nerdy padded sword shit, and I would shield punch people over, do shield kicks, bashes, just constantly aggressive as hell.

I dunno, I suppose the worst case scenario is that I make an ass of myself in the first month and quit.

I was quite fit and athletic before I got all depressed and fat. Having your apartment building catch on fire and then finding out you wouldn't be getting one of the permanent positions at work both happen the week of Christmas would get anybody down.

Obviously the next step is to take this to the professional level. See all the links in this thread to the Medieval fighting stuff. Hell, i'm tempted to give it a shot myself, I think it'd be crazy fun.

Pretty sure Dink the Clown position is taken already. Settle down before you strain a hand muscle getting all worked up.

Velasquez is getting an immediate rematch. Why? Sometimes the UFC matchmaking can be frustrating as hell. Nobody wants to see that

Gotta say, I don't hate the rematch of Werdum and Cain...maybe Cain's cardio will be different this time around. Werdum has gotten damn good though.
