How are mma fighters so resistant to being attacked?

1.54K 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?

It’s called conditioning. During training, their bones consistently take impact, causing them to slightly fracture. When these fractures heal, the bone is slightly stronger. Doing this for long periods of time will strengthen your bones a great deal.

As someone else mentioned, adrenaline also plays a huge part. They may seem resistant in the moment, but they start to feel it the day after.
