Call some of the fighting venues, they'll sometimes have try outs and stuff like that. Call them and tell them about your training and that you would like an opportunity to show them what you can do. Or join one of the fight camps some of those Ultimate Fighting Guys go to. Really though you need to be atleast 18 due to liability reasons.

18 is the right age. I would say get into contacts with promoters in your area. if there is an MMA school ask the instructors. Fine tune your strengths and weaknesses. Definitely network and go to forums like Sherdog.com and MMA.tv. They can help!!!

There is no way that they are going to let you fight at 16. Train for 2 more years and then try.
Best of luck.

there are plenty of fighters under 18 try searching fo panckrase events they only allow palm strikes to the head and anything goes on the body.

18 is the magic number, just keep training until then and try to find out about your options
