How are mma fighters so resistant to being attacked?

1.50K views

Whenever I watch ufc or ofc, I notice the fighters are flooded with so much impact to their bodies. How are they so durable tho? I get they do conditioning. I also do body conditioning because I do mma too. But whenever I spar someone it hurts so much after. In the moment, my adrenaline deals with it but afterwards everything hurts so much. Do they also feel this?

The answer is that they do hurt. Some people are able to manage the pain differently than others.

I can take a lot of pain and not notice it. My dad is the same way. I’ve often got big bruises, cuts, blood dripping down from my arm and I have no idea where it came from. I feel pain fine, I just ignore it.

That only applies to traumatic injury. If my ankle or back is a little sore, I’ll whine and complain endlessly. I’m only good at major injury. Minor stuff makes me a complete wimp.
