The Weekly Grind: Daniel Cormier pranks Francis Ngannou during nap, Conor McGregor hits NYC

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."

I thought at this point everyone knows not to fall asleep around me. Welp there is a guy who fell asleep. Watch the video, got his ass!!! Lol #mediatour #ufc220 I got a little nervous once I did it lol. @francisngannou

Since @JonnyBones unblocked me and tagged me in that hilarious tweet, I'm seeing all of the replies from MMA randos he's getting. This is the first time in five years that I've actually see Bones tweets that go to the right goddamn guy!!!! pic.twitter.com/NqcVWHF4ow

Hey Brazil! You only have one guy left in the @ufc top 10 who can defend your dump of a country IF he has the testículos to take on The King. Hit @RdosAnjosMMA up and let him know what the #FilthyAnimals want. I got a division to make great again. pic.twitter.com/x0iz9ZQzXp
