If you think you can do it then go for it. The chances are still VERY small. You have to train at a gym that has connections in to the UFC. The fact of the matter is that getting into the UFC is not only about how good you are. I'm 100% certain that there are fighters out there that are equal or even better then the fighters in the UFC. But they simply did not have the luck to get in. That's the way it is.
Unless you know the right people you could literally have a record of a 100 wins, on amateur level and still not be noticed.
It takes a whole lot of hard work and dedication to become a UFC fighter. Most of them fight in smaller organizations for years and have extensive training in multiple disciplines before the UFC will even consider allowing them inside the Octagon.Fighters are hand picked from the best of the best and the few chosen ones make it to the pinnacle of MMA fighting - The UFC.
You can go to a lot of MMA classes now where they do a combination of everything. That can give you a good taste of the whole sport, and from there you can start specialising in, say, kickboxing or jj or whatever. First, look at the places around your area and find one that’s close to you. You can’t be travelling too far for each training session, it just makes things a lot more difficult for you to be consistent. Secondly, you have to research the coaches; find out who they are and what experience they have.
If you are really serious, here's a blueprint that should help you. Still no guarantees.
1. Consider moving to an area that has good quality gyms.
Here's a list of some of the famous gyms with UFC ties.

2. Enroll in a gym.
3. Get in great shape, and do everything your trainer/coach tells you.
4. Start amateur career. Rack up wins and experience.
5. Turn pro, and start in the smaller shows.
6. Do well. It wouldn't hurt to win some lower level championships.
7. Then it's about getting noticed.
because your sitting around on a computer complaining about people hurting your feelings saying you have no chance getting in the ufc instead of going out training as hard as you can. and those guys were tomato cans you might want to stay in the ufc for more than 2 fights.
The percentages about sports are so wrong. They say things like you have a better chance of winning the lottery then going to the NFL, but im willing to bet over half those guys never the lottery.
It really depends how motivated you are to get in, in this world it's more so about who you know and how well you connect with people then it is about how good you are at certain skills.
I know some people in the UFC (Ben Henderson, Clifford Starks)
They are really talented and they got there because they worked for it
Jose Aldo went from rags to riches just sayin
If you truly want to be in UFC have confidence.
You can't because you're probably not even trained in MMA. What makes you so special? You're just like us.
you have to be a tough guy silly
I dont understand why people always tell me I have no chance to get into the UFC.. I mean, if a guy like Denis Stojnic, Brad Morris and those guys can, why shouldn't I could??
