Can You Feel Pain in a Fight? Ilia Topuria Tells Us

#UFC #Iliatopuria #MMA #masculinity #fighting

[@Matt-jc2ml]

Half true. You can feel body shots and leg kicks, especially as they begin to add up.

[@Math4real.Schramm]

It's not the same pain you'd feel outside of a fight tho, it's almost like an invisible weight is hanging of the point of impact, whereas if you accidentally kick a corner in furniture it's a way more "legit" pain. Adrenaline does weird things

[@TacticalProjectGaming]

You feel it afterwards not during the fight

[@Matt-jc2ml]

@@Math4real.Schramm have you ever sparred or watched a fight? You 100% feel leg kicks, they add up quickly. Why do you think people switch stances? Because it looks cool?

[@_simplelad_1809]

@@Math4real.Schrammso you can acknowledge damage by just feeling the spot in a weird blurry way as there is just something there but you don’t feel the legit bitter pain you feel when you are hit when you don’t have adrenaline and you’re not scared? Cuz I’ve never been in a fight ever only in training and I’m like damn this would hurt a lot with more force but I guess adrenaline and fear would help that MUCH? Please tell me your experience

[@_simplelad_1809]

@@Matt-jc2mlmaybe they might not feel that much pain but their leg becomes compromised idk maybe you’re right. But let me ask, what about being punched in the mouth with lots of adrenaline especially if you haven’t truly fought before but only trained? (and you’re still conscious to experience it)

[@Brian_Moser1118]

I always thought this is what separates fighters from non-fighters. Their threshold for pain is different.

[@abk5294]

I haven't competed but in sparring getting hit doesn't really hurt, besides some leg and liver shots

[@OneWithinn]

Definitely not, topuira is lying trying to act tough, he for sure feels shots but he like other athletes is able to stay composed

[@publiusventidiusbassus1232]

​@@OneWithinn you know nothing. Fighters literally condition their bodies to make them more resilient to damage. This is part of every competitive martial arts training. Even outside a fight, a combat athlete would not feel a punch with the same intensity as a non-fighter. What Ilia says is the near-universal experience of fighters.

[@kniviz510]

Fighters have a higher pain tolerance, but they definitely feel the shots they take. No one wants to get hit.

[@dano1307]

Also Topuria hasn't really been damaged that bad. If he had his legs kicked off for 3 rounds he would feel that pain.

[@ElderGod29]

You won't feel the entire pain of a shot. The adrenaline rush in your body will subside some of it. But once you're done with the fight, you're fucked up the next day hahahaha

[@Chadius_Thundercock]

You’ll definitely feel the pain of your leg cramping up after a couple legs kicks or the stomach pain of trying to stop yourself from vomiting after a couple clean body shots

[@giorgiociaravolol1998]

Hey, care to drop the name of the podcast?

[@ElCampeonInterino]

The wild project

[@jackm9930]

You can see the difference in reaction when fighters get hit after the damage builds up and the adrenaline wares off later into the fight, they try to shake it off but you know they feel it. Especially when your broken nose gets hit for the 10th time

[@andrewmcgivney7606]

of course you still feel pain, but it is much less. Adrenaline and the focus on the fight really makes it an after thought unless its extremely severe. I notice in my bjj classes i've been kneed and elbowed to the point i even got cut a few times but I barely noticed during the roll it happened in. I sure felt it the next day though.

[@Dondlo46]

Liver shots will always disagree

[@CJWII]

That's a different beast. It's like your body temporarily shutting down and your brain going into retreat mode to cover up 😂

[@NotUrDJ]

He won't saying this after max Holloway fights him

[@peterspanker190]

No, he'll probably wake up next day with a sore dick though.

[@barryirlandi4217]

Cleans up. Well doesn't he

[@RevealedFilms]

Take that 🏳️‍🌈 stuff to your husband. We’re talking about fighting here.

[@dano1307]

Sharp lookin dude for sure

[@dano1307]

@@RevealedFilms You are probably the gay one if you took that comment so seriously.

[@Unrealy574]

Respect what Ilia accomplished but he’s talking Bullsh*t : Gut and liver punches are atrociously painful, you take a good one you’ll drop to the floor fold in 2 like a chair.

[@5pydieman]

Hits you like a fucking truck next day though 😂

[@Griffithaintdidnothingwrong]

I think its adrenaline.....i remember my first fist fight i was getting my hair pulled getting hit in the face, strangled i didn't really feel anything......i was hella surprised because i always thought that id be in alot of pain if any of that stuff happened, but i felt fine but i did feel the weight of the hits

[@ookalar665]

ilia is SOOOO unlike able since he became champ

[@WhiteBoyTariq]

?

[@stevenguo3870]

What makes him unlikable in this clip

[@Arkus123]

​@@stevenguo3870 Cause he is straight up lying in order to sound tougher lol😂😂😂 it makes him look insecure and arrogant.

[@bruce384]

It is very poorly translated ñ.He says that his priority is to take care of his body and not receive excessive damage, beyond winning championships or proving something to someone, his health is more important.

[@Ghostface__x_]

So why do you still watch his videos you must be in love with him

[@rayromano6249]

Im sick of these fake fighters trying to act like somebody or something that they're not. Everybody feels pain. Even a slap to a ufc fighter will feel pain. Not as much as non mma fighters but everybody stilll feels pain

[@RomeosGin]

Clearly you have never been in a fight. Adrenaline is a helluva drug

[@nryvn]

Calling Ilia Topuria a fake fighter is crazy

[@Youssef06_]

UFC featherweight champion is a fake fighter? 😂😂😂

[@karlali7155]

He didn’t say he didn’t feel pain, he said he doesn’t feel pain in a fight. Since it’s apparent that you have never been in a fight. No one feels pain when they in a real fight because of adrenaline.

[@ChipFreeSpace]

Fake fighter?
