To be totally honest man, I would wait.
At least until you are about 16 and 1/2.
If I were you and I were serious about this, I would focus all of my time on training, techniques, cardio, ect.ect.ect.
At 15 years old you have a lot of growing to do, both physically and mentally.
You will have plenty of time for amateur stuff when the time comes, but the last thing that you need to do is rush yourself.
My personal opinion, without ever meeting you are ever seeing you throw one punch or roll at all, would be to wait.

Wait until you're 18. Train more. You will be fighting older guys with a lot of experience. You might get injured. Keep training and get your black belt in BJJ first. Also use this time to become a good wrestler and work on your stand up.

I would think it makes sense to compete in the various aspects of MMA - outside of full contact - at this stage of your development: boxing, BJJ, wrestling, kickboxing, etc. If you do that you'll be way ahead of the game when it comes time for you to fight, IMO.
