#4 Fighting through injuries
It's unreal how many fighters battle through injuries that they sustain in the weeks leading up to a fight. So many of them will complain about the ailment following the bout, and yet beforehand they'll keep it quiet at the risk of not being cleared. However, the most recent and shining example of this happened at the weekend - and it was more of an illness than an injury.
Alistair Overeem came down with an extremely serious case of food poisoning, to the point where he had to go to the hospital. Thankfully he battled through, stating that he refused to be pulled from the fight and that he was determined to compete. He just about managed to get cleared, but it's a sign of what these warriors will go through in order to preserve their status as the best in the world. Oh, and then there's Jon Jones toe that bent the wrong way entirely against Sonnen - ouch.
How much money?!
