These incidents with trained athletes in top physical condition are not the norm at all, by the way.
You're confusing situations as well. An MMA fighter being dropped on his head is real. His opponent is trying to knock him out. You no-selling stuff because it "hurts" is par for the course. Pain versus injury...things can hurt and yes, pain gives you an adrenaline rush that you can use to Hulk up, but me dropping you on your head is going to probably put you down for a good while. You talking about a trained fighter "no selling" is missing the point by a fucking mile.
And no, not all styles have aspects of realism. Comedy matches usually have none and are often shit.
