Find a place local to you that teaches Muay Thai, Boxing, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They are the big three to begin a base off of if you're really interested in starting MMA. You're not a huge guy so BJJ would be the best for you.
Others I'd recommend are Kyokushin Karate and Freestyle Wrestling.
As an example, the last time you saw me I weighed around 240 lbs. Now I'm down to around 205 just training in my basement about an hour per night. It's done wonders to get me in shape.

I joined my school's rugby team this year, and thats definitely been helping me get in some better shape. The problem I have, is that I go away to school, so I'm here for a semester, then a month at home, then here for another semester, then back home for another couple months. I took Aikido for 4 years or so during high school, and I had a knee injury that kept me out of it for a couple months, and it sucked when I came back and had to catch back up. I'd like to be able to commit to something full time, and with going back and forth between school and home, I don't think I'll be able to commit 100%. That being said, I think I'm gonna get a heavy bag this summer and work on that, and just lift and run and stuff to stay in shape.

Awesome, good amount of MMA fans here.
IFL will be incredible just due to the coaches. Any time you have Bas, Mo Smith, Pat Miletich, and Renzo Gracie coaching anywhere you know the teams will be competitive. April 29th fellas, order up! I'm actually thinking about going since it's in AC.
I can't wait to see Shogun v. Coleman II. I think Shogun will crush him the second time around. He's looking good as a heavyweight and his little brother fits in much better at 183.
Anybody ordering Bushido 10 tonight?
