you fight is a LONG way away dude, your only going to give yourself more nerves by thinking about how to stop the nerves this far away, focus on your training and getting yourself ready for the fight.

Music would work for me doh

Jesus man it seems like ur making a new thread every other day and they're almost always things you should ask your trainer.

If you think about nerves this early ur only gonna be broken down by the time the fight come around. I usually used to just zone out the day of the fight. Gameplan and everthing will be decided beforehand so just try not to stress during the day. Music helps but I usually left it to just before the fight to get me going.

This song will have u itching to fight.

I like to have 6 or 7 frosty cool ones.

They say one beer a day is good for you......10 beers = x10 as good!

Nerves are natural. There'd be something wrong with you if you didn't feel nervous. I like to go to the gym and do some light work the day before then use the jacuzzi followed by the cold shower for 2-3 minutes. That preps me out anyway.

Just concentrate on your training from now until Sept. Try not to think about the Sept league otherwise you'll just psych yourself out of it instead of in to it. Just focus on your conditioning, techniques and sparring.

You obviously don't compete or you're special. I was nervous to the point of puking in my first boxing fight. In Kickboxing I was ok because I was so young. I'm yet to have an MMA fight but I'm expecting nerves then too.
It's totally natural. All the fighters I know get nerves. Some like to act big and say they don't but they're visibly ****ting themselves before the fight then.

Ive had 6 league fights and 1 C-class fight. I was surprised that for the C-class fight I had absolutely no nerves. I was very calm and focussed. I nearly puked for my league fights though. Ive kinda got my own pre-fight ritual these days to stop me bein nervous.

Lies.

What I would suggest OP is to not think about it so much and concentrate on your gameplan and strategy now. Put the work in so you can honestly say to yourself that you did everything possible to fight. Listen to music. Use the nerves and turn them into excitement (the 2 emotions are not very different).

This is all easier said than done and honestly it gets easier to cope with over time. The nerves never go, and why would they? Think about it. You are preparing your body and mind to engage in what the mind thinks is a dangerous activity. The nerves you feel are warning signals and basically your body and mind preparing for whats to come. It's primal and its natural.

The best of luck, and no matter how you do, no that it takes big balls of steel to willingly get in a cage or ring to do what you do.

Why say its lie's?.

I don't compete in MMA, my style is Judo.

However I don't get nervous on the day of competition, but I do in the few days running up to it.

The night before I compete I go the local, have two or three pints to settle any last minute nerves and get an early night.

On the day of competition I've a 'well we're here now, lets fight' and I'm completely calm.

I was the same when I was kickboxing too.
