How are mma fighters so resistant to being attacked?

1.53K 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?

mma fighter here, the answer is consistency. everyone i train with is running at a baseline level of horrific levels of soreness/pain. we literally just goto practice twice a day, fuck our bodies up really bad, go home, eat sleep repeat. overtime i guess you kind of condition your body but honestly it’s largely mental. i know when i get on the mat and i feel like dog shit, i know deep down i have the power to get warmed up and start sweating and i’ll subconsciously forget about my pain so i can train. it’s up to me to force that tho. also lots of guys are on steroids/peds lmao
