How would I become an MMA fighter. It doesn’t matter amateur or professional. I’m 15, I train on my own 1-3 hours daily, am pretty good at fighting, and I have a background in kung fu, tae kwan do, and karate.

It sounds like you have a good stand up arsenal but you lack a ground game try wrestling in high school to start off you know and then look for a judo or jiu jitsu school so you can keep adding to your ground game with submissions. I mean youre still pretty young i mean your 15. but the younger the better.
Another idea is enter an ammy mma fight with people who do it that way win or lose you can think on what you need to work on but I think you have to be 18 to enter an ammy mma fight
My cousin told me her boyfriend is an MMA fighter. I talked to the guy about it and he said that you need to win 6 amateur fights in order to get your pro card. He’ll be able to compete for a UFC spot once he gets his pro card. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if the 6 wins have to be consecutive or if there’s a certain time limit in which you have to get the 6 wins. I’d guess that the 6 wins have to be in a year’s time.
Add some Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu to your game and you should be alright. Good luck!
To the AM guy/girl up there. Your friend is incorrect. You could have zero amateur fights and get your pro card. You could also have 10 or more amateur fights and go pro. As for the asker: You need some ground game. Find a gym and go train. Training on your own is a good start, but in this day and age you need to train with others and train all aspects.
