Even if you just want to do some amateur fights without dreams of holding a UFC title, it's a good test for you MAs skils.

The main reason I'm interested in sport fighting is I'm considering teaching some day and nowadays if you've never fought some people don't take you seriously. Not that I believe that myself, but it's just the state of things now.

If I ever want to help train someone for the ring, it's a real good idea to get in there too, instead of just sparring.
