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?

There’s a reason most professional high level boxers only fight like once every six months once they get a say in it, and high level boxers are known for having more privilege’s and prestige than MMA fighters. Even then the reputation for professional fighters is that to really do well you need to either be this legacy who’s been in it since you could walk, or so desperate and poor the usually not that great money is your best shot at getting out of poverty, or both.
They feel the pain and take the damage, then they spend months afterwards in recovery. Then they have to go through the whole cycle of cutting for their next fight and do it all over again. It’s a fucking brutal lifestyle that a lot of them pay dearly for later on in life but you don’t really see that when you’re looking at a match in a few short rounds at a time where they have barely enough time to *almost* catch their breath and then you don’t see the next several weeks of bruises and concussions and fractures.
