amatuer fighting does not constitute "highly trained". Especially if you're referring to a past time of yours. Amatuer MMA has just recently reached a skill level beyond bar fighting. Also, a 6 year amatuer career wouldnt give me the impression of a highly trained individual either. The only qualification for going pro is acceptance of the rule changes. No need to be so vague... where did you train? fight?
