Fighting professionally at age 15 is not surprising to me. In Thailand, they start much younger than that. A Muay Thai fighter in his mid-20s is considered old by Thai standards. And, Chris Horodecki in the IFL is only a few years older than that 15-year-old fighters. They lied about Horodecki's age to get him into pro-fights at an earlier age. He's old enough now (I think he's 19 now) to fight without fibbing about his age. I think that MMA fighters should start at a younger age with training and ametuer matches. It will help them to be better fighters in their 20s and 30s.
