The Weekly Grind: Brian Ortega pulls off crazy kick, Kevin Lee gets kicked in the groin

The life of a professional fighter isn't all glitz and glamour.

As if getting punched, kicked, kneed, choked and twisted into a pretzel on a regular basis isn't enough, fighters attract a general wackiness that makes their lives, well...interesting.

To commemorate these day-to-day hardships, slip-ups, pranks, and more, we bring you, "The Weekly Grind."

Kickin’ off monday right. @mufasamma

Guess who's that little guy on this 30 yr old picture ? Great and unusual memory of my youth. Devinez qui est ce petit garçon sur cette photo de 30 ans d'âge ? L'un des rares beaux souvenirs de mon enfance.

The most important thing a girl wears is her confidence! Be confident ladies! I recently tackled a Cane Corso to keep it from eating my lil doggy and although I came out banged up, I’m healing and I still have my best friend! I don’t recommend tackling big dogs but I DO recommend harnessing your strength and beauty, we deserve to feel beautiful no matter the circumstances. #confidenceissexy #beconfident #beyoutiful #bestrong #strongisthenewskinny #befierce #confidentwoman #goaldigger #confidenceissexy #nothingcanstopme #sheknowsherstrength #knowyourworth #womenareamazing #womanwarrior

My credit card got stolen yesterday and I totally forgot I cancelled it until I went to pay for my drink today... but this world is full of good people and the person behind me paid for it. Thank you Damien. I hope the rest of your day is blessed.

19 years of professional fighting and today was my 10th surgery. I had to do a clean up (Arthroscopy) on my Right Ankle, I had a few bone fragments floating around from years of kicking. The life of an Elite MMA Warrior...... Worth it Ready to kick even harder then before Enjoy my pics #SavageBreed #PITBULL #KillerInstict #BornForWar 19 anos de lutador profissional é hoje foi a minha Décima cirurgia. Tive que fazer uma Limpeza no meu Calcanhar Direito (Artroscopia) para remover fragmentos ósseos flutuante. A vida de um Elite Mma Warrior.... Honesta e abençoada . Vou chutar bem mais forte que antes #verasqueumfilhoteunaofogealuta #instintoselvagem #Pitbull

Self-Confidence. Such a big word. One of my biggest insecurities is my skin. Although I struggle with it, I am so proud of how fresh it feels today. My scars are a reminder of growing pains, my battles fought in the octagon, and a painful youth that I grew from. We all struggle with our own battles daily, so remember that next time you have a thought about another. Life isn't easy but it's so worth the ride! I'm blessed to share my journey with so many of you, you aren't alone. If anyone hasn't told you lately I love you and you are beautiful. I will tell myself the same today! #Life #Learning #FreshFace #NoFilter #ShareYourStory #TeamTiny #BeYou
