MY 5 YEAR PLAN TO GET TO THE UFC! 

5 years later: did you know that UFC featherweight champion Ayan did a video 5 years ago that he will be joining the ufc !

Bro lock in like you have never locked in before. I wish you success not just in mma but in life.

For anyone talking about starting late, I started training mma at 24 and am about to have my first amateur fight a year and a half later at 26 so don’t be afraid to just go for it

investing by commenting on this the same month it came out so i can say i watched this when the fw world champ was 18

Going to subscribe so I can say I was along for the ride

its so refreshing to listen to someone who actually has a grasp of what their going to do with their life

I will come back to this in 5 years. Good Luck!

LFG you got this Shit just stay consistent to your goals and keep going!

Great vid well thought out wish u well and injury free on ur journey

can't believe i'm watching the 2029 ufc undisputed featherweight champion rn

Don’t listen to these guys in the comments discouraging you and telling you want you CANT do. Their the clowns who arleady gave up on their dreams. They’re are plenty ufc fighters who started late. I myself am shooting for the top. Derek Pearson, remember the name. See you at the top bro

That's the dream bro, idk if you work but only hurdle I'm trying to get over is working full time

best of luck bro

you will see me too when ur in the ufc!

Let’s go bro ignore the haters u got this 👊🏾

Crazy how I’ve been thinking about going back to training and now I see this video I guess when the universe really supports you it will give you signs I look forward to seeing you in the UFC one day at the same press conference 💯

lets go champ, win lose or fail, giving it your all is what matters .... wish you the best

If you walk around at 145, you should fight as a flyweight. Guys sometimes shed 40+ lbs to have an advantage on fight night. Gotta play the game.

I’ll see you there

Commenting to be reminded

I see this kind of stuff from time to time, everybody wants to fight to get to the UFC. I'm not sure you understand the reality of what you're getting into, every plan you made, throw it out the window. 9/10 times your timeline won't match up with your expectations. BJJ is a combat sport, you will get injured at some point, it's a combat sport my friend, injuries are constant. Be prepared to get your ass kicked, you are f all to anyone in the practice room, you're new to martial arts and have no background in any discipline. Bro I truly admire your passion and drive, but im telling you, MMA is one of the worst paths you can take. If you're comfortable with injuries, possible CTE, Traumatic brain injuries, brutal weight cuts and the grind of being shark tanked in the gym, go for it. However, take it from me, I started training at 16, Im 25 now and my reasons to train have changed massively overtime, now it's about keeping a healthy lifestyle and excercise. Do it as a hobby and for something fun, there is a great community. Hell even just doing BJJ competitions are so much fun, all I'm saying is, don't make this everything about your life. Think very hard about the consequences and what could go wrong, not just what could go right. This isn't basketball, soccer or pingpong, people are really getting hurt. I'm telling you, take this passion and drive into any avenue of life and you can be successful. I strongly urge you to watch Joe Rogans podcast with Brendan schuab, it was basically Joe telling Brendan to stop fighting and that there are more things to life. It's not worth it my brother. Im not saying this because I want to hurt your feelings and bring you down, In saying this as a guy who's been through it and watched many others go through it with minimal gain. Go train and acquire the skills and have fun, that's the most important thing.

I believe in u dawg best of luck. Definitely fight at 135 or 125 both of those shouldn’t be too bad of weight Cuts. But then again you know your body better than anyone. Once again do ur thing brother!!

you got this bro stay consistent!

I hope to meet you at the top someday, my friend.

Love the drive in you, best of luck. You will get injured especially if you are going to be pushing for the 5 year mark, it's more about managing injuries and training sensibly while still progressing. This is a hard thing to get right and unique to every person To make the best use of time the cut should still focus on sparring and improving technique, you will burn a lot just sparring, bag work, roadwork and make a lot of progress fighting wise at the same time. 5kg is quite a lot in water weight and will put quite a big strain on your body if that's repeated for each camp, have you agreed a weight with your coach and asked for his input? They generally know what's best for fight weight. I like it, realistic plan. There will be hurdles but don't give up champ.

9:35 instantly recognised that clip from JRE lol

I will be the Lightweight Champion of the UFC also in 2029. don't forget it, in 5 years from today we will celebrate our predictions. I have a solid belief in your plan stick to it, and I'll stick to mine, see you in the near future.

I will see you there brother

6:42 I always felt like the reason most knockouts come from boxing is because it’s easier to learn than kickboxing but I think the better kick-boxer beats the better boxer

You got it ! Keep going and keep us updated

you got this bro

Mate gonna keep up with your channel and follow you closely, how super excited to watch your growth!! Please keep us as tuned in as possible.

Good luck brother !!!

Keep God at the center fam 🙏

Don't let people talk trash. Having goals makes people grow, good luck man. I gave you a follow. PS: things won't go as perfectly planned, don't give up and you can't fail.

Good luck brother

I hope to see you there one day Ayan! Being in the same weight class gives me more motivation to keep going!

Lesgooo 🔥 I’ll comment again on the post fight video when ur the champion. Don’t forget me 🫵🏼

I think you should focus on wrestling and kickboxing. Muay thai doesn’t work as well for MMA imo

Dont overcomplicate it brother, the plans very specific but you need to just go with it and train areas you need to train. Youll find what you like and understand better so stick with improving them areas until its second nature. Then worry about being competent enough in other areas of the game to not fall short there. Great spirit tho good luck

I’ll meet u there

I believe in you and this is a mark showing that I was a day one fan

See you in the octagon, we chasing the same thing.

Guys like this to remind me of this video

Imagine he actually becomes champ that would be crazy I'm rooting for ya pal!

Wishing you luck bro. Stay locked in.

i usually dont comment on videos, but i had to on this one. I see a fire in you man and i believe you are actually going to be the ufc featherweight champion of the world one day. Ill be watching till you reach that goal. God Speed brother

One interesting tip is whatever you favor striking or grappling chose that stancce primarily so a great wrestler adopt that stances lead leg

I’m undergoing a similar plan, gonna be an undisputed UFC champion. Recently sparred for the first time, that shit is so fun. I’ll probably be aiming for welterweight but maybe we’ll still meet someday. Good luck brother

I had a similar plan when I was 18, but then college & life happened. I didn't feel like training that much, and now I'm 32 and never had a sanctioned fight 😅

Manifesting works stay at it champ🏁

Good plan, i highly recommend that after your current cut to 65kg you should definitely do a very LEAN bulk up and walk around much higher. This is because 145ers tend to walk around 165+. You COULD walk around closeer to 145 but you will have to refine your skill set very accordingly to the specific league divisions that you compete with. But, the reality is that most fighters just firm cutting bare weight to reach the lowest division they can so that they can have the biggest size advantage possible. I’ve read a few comments and seems like you’ve adjusted your plan accordingly. I hope you make it, seeing a journey like this documented would be very refreshing.

It’s probably not a great idea to cut to around 145 and walk around at that weight if that’s what you’re gonna fight at, gonna make things a lot harder

This is not going to work respectfully, youre aiming to do too much too soon that alone is going to hurt you and also this is a combat sport and you clearly underestimate how dnagerrous competing in combat sports truly is that aswell will hurt you. Another reason why i say you wont make it is because your saying "i wanna be ufc champion" not" i wanna be the best fighter" in the world " this shows that your heart is clearly at the wrong place you clearly want the fame and notriety that comes with it not the actual sport of fighting and you dont like or appreciate the sport of fighting and have a true passion or deep genuine joy for it, you probably saw all these ufc fighters online and thought it was cool n shxt saw eidts and thought thats what u wanna be and now you wanna do it too. you may be lying to yourself thinking that its not like that trying to convince yourself otherwise but it will eventually crumble but i like that your doing cause when you eventually quit or stop atleast youll still be young and now you have experience and lessons youll be able to transfer into another path inlife which i think would be great

Remind me to comeback to your channel whenever you had your first amateur fight. Good luck though

Lets go

🔥🔥🔥

Honestly id just worry about going to class and technique for now. Become techinically sound on feet. Maybe have your base in boxing and muay thai and then try find a bjj or folk style wrestling club to join. Then you can dial in diet and cardio. If youre going anywhere good you will build semi decent cardio in training so long as you push yourself.

I hope u make it bro

I've seen people get knocked out cold at fight nights between schools id say its more than just sparring its very valuable experience if you ask me way more than just sparring

5 year plan to end up as a Walmart greeter. What about setting realistic goals like win an amateur fight/ BJJ competition

Good luck brother i wich you one day become the feather weight champion keep it up

remamber about running mate, fingers crossed

See you there man, i have the same plan, so it looks like we will be fighting eh

Best of luck bro

I just realized that its not too far fetched even at an amatuer level for 2 random people living in different parts of the world thay know each other online to fight if they really wanted it to, they just have to find some tournament to both sign up for and do a little bit of travelling

My guess is. You will go underprepared to a fight, get knocked out, scrap this plan and get back to becoming entrepreneur like you planned 3 months ago

here before it happened

“Not going to take any damage from 16 oz gloves” bro I have so bad news for you

You got this

Repeating that man’s Joe Rogan interview word for word is hilarious😂Americans have more ufc fighters and ufc champs than Dagestan.

Bros warning his ops exactly how and when he’s about to strike and they can’t do anything about it 😂

sounds awesome dawg

I bet this dude is from a mma discord that is popular and used to show off his watch .

brother i’ve had ammy boxing matches injury’s and kos happen more than you’d think

See you there bro

Have you thought about learning from other disciplines besides the big 4? Like judo, any karate styles, greco roman, sands etc..

Dont cut down to featherweight for no reason, if youre able to walk around at featherweight fight at bantamweight

is this bait? I haven't listened to someone so far removed from reality in some time.

see you in five years bro❤

Brother will meet you , If you ever go for Double Champ in LW

Great to see the determination bro. Have you ever trained tho? Like actually doing a boxing class and boxing sparring, wrestling rounds?

we gonna seee

never give up.

i believe if not 5-6 years it will happen eventually

Let’s go gang

Hi. freestyle wrestling coach here. I recently came across your channel through a RU-vid recommendation and want to wish you all the best in your journey towards the UFC. Your plan seems solid, and I agree that focusing on boxing and wrestling will be crucial. But, starting wrestling later in life means that paying attention to the mechanics behind the moves is essential, not just the techniques themselves. Take, for example, the double leg takedown. It requires a series of about 10 different drills to make the move successful. So, only focusing on learning the move alone without the mechanics behind it, it will not work. Will fail you every single time. unfortunately. So, put on your wrestling boots, clear some space, and commit to the grind if you're truly hungry for success in this sport. Remember, there are no shortcuts to the top - only hard work And just think, while you may feel exhausted after multiple sessions a week, there's a dude with beard and no moustache out there training hard, ready to give you a run for your money. PS. You need to start competing in Wrestling events not just BJJ. That way you can test your wrestling against actual wrestlers.

most ufc fighters cut about 10kg

No hate but coming from a fighter, this plan is unrealistic.

how long have u been training until this point, and how old are you? Thank you.

good luck but DO NOT spar too much bro keep that chin in tact

Yo bro how tall are you and how much you weigh, also I wish u all the best and it is a dream for me to fight in the ufc one day inshallah 🤲👊

I can't wit to start making content and us meeting.

Hey I agree with most of this plan except I would not underestimate the danger of competition jujitsu

How do you plan on affording this lifestyle?

Those smokers/ amateurs aren’t as easy as you think bro. It’s not sparring. You guys are trying to take eachothers head off. You need to experience some competition type sparring and times that by 3. Trust me my first amateur fight I had that mindset and lost cause the other guy was so aggressive

If you're targeting FW try not to meet Ilia along the way

Inchallah Brother

1:53 Just saying this because you say you’re gonna spend 6 months not fighting. Every UFC fighter who has been asked this question has said that young fighters should do as many amateur fights as possible. It makes sense too. You’re only gonna get good at fighting by fighting. That’s my opinion on this. Gl bro. Edit: Also, about 6:00 , khabib retired after few professional fights but he had billions of amateur fights in the mountains of Dagestan😂.

what’re you gonna do for like your job 😭 how do u afford multiple gyms and also how will you afford food, housing, etc
