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?

Any time you hit something, micro fractures are created in the bone structure that calcify over and get tougher similar to how muscles get stronger after being torn via workouts.
That’s how people are able to put their elbows through concrete and stuff, and why mma flighters can take rib shots better than an average person.
Also the muscles in the neck get stronger and can brace the skull against impacts like getting punched, so it’s a combination of muscular and skeletal strength!
Also: punches can literally break your hand, while overlooked cause of gloves, the bones strength in the knuckles is likely well above average.
