How are mma fighters so resistant to being attacked?

1.48K 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 do feel it. It’s just that with time they build tolerance to pain and/or are maniacs who actually like the pain.

You often hear the ex-pros like Daniel Cormier, Paul Felder or Dominic Cruz (just to mention the UFC) mention that such and such hurt like a bitch.

And when they get a groin shot they just curl in pain so you know they are not immune to pain.
