More Research Required

To add a sense of realism to my novel, I'm going to need to do some research into how long it takes fighters to recover in between bouts.  I know that when it comes to UFC, the guys usually fight only twice a year.  Jon Jones had four fights last year and that was considered grueling.  As much fun as it would be to explain everything away with magical potions, I don't want to cheat.  I really want to make it somewhat realistic, especially since these are twelve-year-olds fighting.  So I am going to do the research necessary to make it happen.
