First off, a little background. I'm 20, 177lbs and 15% body fat. I've been into bodybuilding for nearly 8 months, so i'm in pretty good shape. I'm fairly certain that i can knock someone out with one good punch, as i'm rather strong. I also do high intensity cardio 4 times weekly, so my endurance is pretty good.
My opponent is a guy who works with a friend of mine. He's smaller than me, in his mid to late 30's. He probably has more experience than me, especially since i've never been in a real fight - few scuffles, but they all got broken up quickly. But he's smaller, weaker and a smoker.
Why do i wanna fight him? Because he's going around and saying he can kick my ass. Why does he wanna kick my ass? Because he's jealous of me. Why does he think he can? He doesn't. Some of you will say that that's no reason to fight someone, and you'd be right. But i'm sick and tired of him and i want to make him bleed. End of story. It's going to happen.
So what should i do to prepare myself for a fight? I've got a bunch of UFC videos that i'm definitely gonna watch over. I think i have the physical aspect down, but i'm not sure about the mental. How important is it to remain absolutely calm during a fight? Because i know that i'll get an adrenaline rush, which i guess could be used to my advantage.
Also, does anyone have ideas on how i should start it? Should i pick out a moment when he doesn't expect it and use it to my advantage, or ask him to step outside? And should i try some good ol streetfighting, or perhaps i should use my very limited wrestling skills to try to pin him to the ground and give him some nice elbow shots?
UPDATE: I guess i'll provide a little more background information for those who are concerned with the accuracy of the information i have on him. I've got a history with this guy. I used to work with him, and one night, he snapped at me for no apparent reason, and we almost got into a fight. But he didn't strike, so i walked away because i thought it was the smart thing to do. However, i no longer think i made the right decision by walking away, simply because there is no way a man can feel good about himself after backing off from a smaller opponent. He got fired several months later for other reasons, and i quit as well, but now he's back, so this is my chance to set things straight.
However, those who said that this can lead to criminal charges and lawsuits are most certainly correct. Therefore, throwing the first punch is now out of the question. Next time i see him, i'll confront him, but i'll make sure he throws the first punch and that there are several reliable witnesses around to see that. And thanks to those who went through the trouble of giving useful advice, it'll definitely help if i end up fighting him.
I'd also like to say thanks for a good laugh to all the pansies who had the nerve to ridicule me because of this. Just because your grandmother told you it's alright to cry yourself to sleep after being bullied on in school, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. As someone wisely pointed out, you're all making it painfully obvious that you're trying to make yourself feel better about yourselves by making your weakness look like a virtue. But unlike you, i'm a man, and as a man, i have an established set of principles, beliefs and values. I have honor. And i would fight and die for that as willingly as i would for a loved one. I'm sorry if you can't grasp that concept.
