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?

This is why MMA fighters don’t fight 3-4 times a week like a lot of other sports (basketball, hockey, etc) play. They tap into adrenaline and keep going, but the recovery time is pretty severe. They can block out the pain during the fight, but you won’t see them matching up against someone else for a while, because they have to let their body heal, and then recondition to get back in fighting shape after an extended rest period where their body heals.
