So last month, I was told I would be fighting on the 15th and I started to train diligently. Then I was told that the promotion got postponed to the 31st. Then a week into May, I was told that my opponent dropped out. So, I pretty much stopped training and partied it up until this past Monday when I got a call saying I have to fight. My teammate got injured and I have to take his place at 165 but I weigh 162 and should be fighting at 155/160 tops.
I don't really want to fight cause I'm not in the best condition. I told my coach this but he says it's not a problem and I should be fine. Still, in my mind, it's really hard to get mentally prepared. I have no idea who I am fighting or what his record is since I am filling in for someone who already had a fight.
Any words of wisdom or tips in general? I fight this Saturday
