If you're interested in Amateur rules (no headshots) then it might be worth having a look at the Grapple and Strike League, or the Combat Sports Open League.

Grapple and Strike (http://www.grappleandstrikewales.com)
Combat Sports Open (http://www.mmauniverse.com/news/SS1117)

Both are now in the second leg of competition, but they're both a decent starting point.
I just got back from the Grapple and Strike event and everything about it was impressive.
Amazingly well managed, a great atmosphere with no attitude and a real good place to work off the first fight nerves.

Hope that can be some help.

Expences of £50 are paid to all fighters to help pay towards fuel etc.

The events are based in the NE

is there anywhere closer to london or the south east?

lee johstone has amateur fighters on his event. www.cagefighters.net (http://www.cagefighters.net)

sol gilbert runs the ZT amateur tourney in brighton.

both these events use headshots standing and grounded, but rounds are shorter and you wear more padded gloves. Also elbows and heelhooks are banned.

Best thing though is probably to talk to your coach and find out when he thinks you are ready rather than just pimping yourself on the net looking for "nothing too serious" just cos you enjoy the sport.

if you havnt got a coach i would recommend a no-headshots event like those previously mentioned to see where you are at before you even think about a "proper" amateur mma rules fight.

Agreed! Serious training is better for you now than any 'nothing too serious' amateur fight. If you listen to your coach and take your training seriously then it will be better for you in the long run.

peace

by "nothing to serious"i meant the first amateur bout should not be on a fight card which is out of your depth, that was what i was implying

wasnt criticizing, just offering advice. I also gave you a couple of events not too far from you that offer what you are looking for.

My opinion is that it is the wrong approach to come on the net advertising yourself for your first fight. Should be the coaches job to decide when you are ready then get you the right fight on the right event IMHO. Its up to you what you do though dude, good luck. Hopefully the two contacts i gave will be able to help you out. Or if you want no headshots you could enter the MMA league @ seni in london on 26/27 april ???
