Gay.....I saw one UFC match where 1 flying knee, right at the start of the 2nd round, ended it - I have never seen anyone bleed out of their eyes

Not ideal I know, but with the right training etc...

Seriously good luck with everything. Follow your dream, don't give up on it, we did, we are here, it's the BEST thing we have ever done in our lives. You'll find a way even if it's not clear, if you want it bad enough.

The UFC is the ultimate in MMA (far more financially than Pride or any other MMA organization for that matter)
Davey it all depends on what you call PRO ? (can you make a living out of it ?)

If you are a fully dedicated fighter (and then some) and have the talent to make a living out of it (you picked a hard sport to do that in...but YOU should already know that) then there are "opportunities" in Canada ! This sport is dominated by the Yanks (a few Canadians and Brazilians out there though). Brits are a novelty but you have to thank Michael Bisping for getting us on the map !

It can be done but would require one hell of an effort mate !
Feel free to PM me and i will talk to some of my contacts (will need to know your experience, age, weight, fighting record, etc)
Whatever you decide...good luck mate !
