I'm going to start practicing MMA. Does anyone have some tips for me?

Mate ive recently joined an mma gym and i can tell you that you are going to have to work extremely hard to get to the UFC. But mate dont let anyone talk you out of your dream just work hard if u really want this you will work until you near die. Also consider getting a routine for cardio and muscle building thats what im looking for at the moment but not just any routine a decent one. Practice your flexibility before you go to the gym or your gonna get d.
