#1 Media days
There is a reason why Conor McGregor pulled out of UFC 200 and it wasn't because he was scared of Nate Diaz - it was because of the media tour. The unbelievable exhaustion that fighters put themselves through in the octagon is almost replicated when it comes to how much they have to promote their fights. Seriously, it's staggering how much they have to talk to the media.
Some of the occasions closer to the event will literally take up 12-16 hours of their 24 hour day, leaving them utterly knackered when it comes to trying to relax in the evening. It's all a part of being in this business and some of it can be a lot of fun, but most of the time it just all gets to be a bit too much and understandably so.
