I do well enough in kickboxing, and i'm getting my blue belt in bjj.

National MMA championship is getting organised this weekend and considering i do kickboxing my bjj coach asked me if he should sign me in, i said F it why not ?

I compete in both bjj and kickboxing, but my first time in mma i had to pull out because of a shoulder injury, so this is m'y first time ever in small gloves and a cage except training.

What should i keep in mind ? How should i approach things compared to the other martial arts? Should i expect to get hurt more with the mma gloves etc.. ?
