I got my first guitar at a age 13-14 and when I was 23 I actually started to get music measure and beat.

You’re not too old.
Will you make it into the UFC and become some big hotshot? Probably not. But it’s never too late to just start training for fun or even just for some local competitions.

you are still very young most fighters didn’t start training until after college some not even until they were in their 30′s. join a credible mma gym, your still too young to even fight in any sanctioned fights. so just start training in brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, boxing, wrestling, and keep your strength and cardio going.

You can’t even fight yet. You have much more important things to worry about right now. School for one.

If you want to get in to mma get in to wrestling at your school. This will teach you about being in a match in front of people and what the adrenaline will do to you. It will get you in good shape and make you explosive.

You could also join a Martial art and get a good foundation art. It is so much easier to teach some one who has a back ground in on of these.

If you are indeed fifteen and that big do not expect to stop growing. I think you are going to grow pretty big if this is true
