How to get into

There is a teenager in my hometown that wants to be a MMA fighter. I'm from a small town. Anyone know anyone personally who went into this field? Did they make it to be a professional? Any tips?

It helps to know people on the inside, I'm sure, but do some digging and I'm sure they have scouts the kid can contact. I don't know the ins and outs of the MMA, but I'm sure they scouts looking for new talent like any other professional sport.

I follow the sport, but since the world is freaking out over the pandemic, it's probably a bad time to start on this adventure. It's going to be tough to get a foot in the door. Instead of taking the usual route, I'd probably focus more on building a social media following in order to get my name out there. Unprecedented times call for a different strategy.
