How are mma fighters so resistant to being attacked?

1.52K 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?

They definitely feel the pain. Being good means that you can convert a lot of the blows to glances. When they do get hit they get hit hard though. It requires a mindset that refuse to give up just because you felt some impact. Adrenaline does that. After the fight they are more sore than you have ever been. They just think the kick of fighting is worth the pain. Kinda like how a skateboarder gets back up and tries again after breaking an arm.
