I have a question for those who have fought in the ring here. I am an MMA fan and respect the hell out of anyone that does that. What I wonder is this: What drives you to do it? Is it seeing how far you can push yourself? Is it just wanting to test yourself against another trained fighter? I know it can't be the money because it seems like only the top few guys really make big bucks.

I've been in three fights in my life (not in a cage, just on street kind of thing). Once in grade school and twice as an adult and the feeling is not a very good one so it seems to me like it wouldn't be a thing of enjoyment.

I can understand wanting to train. The exercise rocks and learning to defend yourself is a good thing, but to take that next step is a whole other mindset. So just curious what it is that drives you and made you take that step to get into the ring?
