Today, I entered my first professional fight as a mixed martial artist. It's been my dream to become a UFC champion one day. All I do is train and watch UFC fights all day. I was out cold in a matter of seconds. FML

Today, I decided to challenge the jerk jock at work to a fight, since he kept poking fun at me for being a weakling. Having started taking MMA classes, I was confident I'd make him eat his words. Just my luck, he's an MMA instructor and kicked my ass effortlessly. Not what I had planned. FML

Today, my pro wrestling training class had come to a close and I was gathering my things outside of the ring. One of my fellow trainees got out of the ring on the side where there was nothing but giant stage lights. He knocked them over onto me, giving me my first pro wrestling injury. I’d always thought that would happen in the ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were asleep. Evidently, he was dreaming about being a UFC fighter, because, out of no where, he grabs the back of my head and punches me in the nose. I haven't been able to breathe right out of my nose all day. FML

Today, I drove for hours to attend a martial arts tournament, and then I waited ages for it to finally start. I lost in less than a minute. FML

Today, during a judo session, I was paired with a thin, frail-looking rookie. Before a mock skirmish, as I'm much bigger, I said I'd take it easy on her, but also to give it her best shot. She immediately threw me on my face to the floor, knocking me out cold in 7 seconds. FML

Today, I had a dream in which I was being mugged. I started fighting the muggers off, while in reality, my fist smacked my wife in the face. Now she has a black eye, nobody believes my story, and they think I'm a wife beater. FML

Today, a few years after getting mugged inspired me to start hitting the gym and taking karate classes, I was mugged again, this time in front of my girlfriend who I actually met at the gym. I was knocked out with one punch. It was the same mugger with the same neck tattoo. FML

Today, I started training for a charity boxing match. When I got home and walked through the door, my dad punched me in the stomach to test my reaction time. As I lay on the floor trying to catch my breath, he said my reaction time was "terrible". FML

Today, while having a bad dream, I went to punch a bully in the face. Mid-swing I wake up and punch the solid concrete wall to my basement bedroom FML

Today, after months of grueling training and countless early mornings, I finally began the race I had been preparing for over the past year, only to slip and break my leg in the first 450 meters. FML

You need to do a training montage. Perhaps "Eye of the tiger" would be a good song choice to go with it.

Keep at it if it's really what you wanna do, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Not everyone wins their first fight, hell hardly anyone does. keep training and you will make it some day.

Don't worry, OP! It was barely your first fight. I'm sure you'll gradually get better as you go along. :)

38-What do you mean barely? Op said it was his first professional match. Doesn't really matter I agree with your message. I was just wondering. Good luck op! Keep your head up.

I agree. First professional versus first actual fight.

73 - yeah, I was talking about his first professional fight. Hopefully he didn't give up just because he lost. :D

Only shows you that it's not as easy as you possibly thought it was.

Key words: "Train every day." He knew what he was getting into. The opponent was probably fighting in the ring for years. First fight's always the toughest. You'd know that if you were big enough to talk like that legitimately.

Ok Quikraptor... I actually take Yoshukai karate so I know what I was talking about. I meant the "not as easy as he thought" part as starting in the professional position. Maybe if he lost that quickly, nerves got the best of him.

Don't worry about it. You're gonna lose some fights, and might as well let it be as you're first starting. Actually fighting vs. training is a totally different world. You'll learn from these fights and then start kicking ass! :D
