WEC World Extreme Cagefighting is an American mixed martial arts promotion. It is the sister promotion to the UFC, both owned and produced by ZUFFA, with a focus on lighter weight classes and talent building for the UFC. As with its older and much larger sibling, the WEC uses the same rules as the UFC, but it holds its fights in a smaller octagonal cage.

Toughness of 135lb.

Just a quick question, how hard would it be to get into 135lb in wec if i start training at age of 16?

Anything is possible with determination. Find a local gym that trains for MMA and train your heart out day and night. That's what it takes to make it to the top. With enough determination, you can make it.

dont get to far ahead of yourself there. look at local fights and get a few wins there first before you look at the wec. Also It may not matter how good you are you still may never make it that big. 2 of my trainers were dominating fighters with very few loses. actually I think they were better than most of the guys on some of the tuff shows but neither of them ever made it any further than a few main events in Louisville caged inferno. Some people just get lucky.

best advice I can give you is start small do research talk to current and former fighters and look for chances to branch out. Remember like most things in life I think a lot of it is who you know.

Best of luck to ya!!!

Anything is possible and it varies from person to person to have odds for this sort of thing.

WORK HARD is an important thing and aim to learn.

I don't think you'll be 135lbs in a couple of years. Especially after training.

Probably not that hard, but it will take a couple of pro fights before they pick you up. They're definitely not going to debut you unless you win a world championship or two in BJJ or Muay Thai.

That said, check out the training forums and start looking at what other guys are doing. I was around a natural 135 when I started training and now I'm around 155 without a serious cut for competition (and I haven't gotten that much taller, though I was 14 when I seriously started training). Your weight and your build will change alot, especially depending on the way that you choose to address your training.
