Would Lomachenkos's like boxing foot work work in mma or would opponent just get into clinch with you.

I’ve read that in dreams most people can’t punch properly — punches feel super slow, weak, or like you’re moving through water. I think there are even scientific explanations for why movement and force feel different in dreams because your body is basically disconnected during REM sleep.

But that made me wonder about UFC fighters and professional boxers. Since they’ve trained striking movements for thousands of hours and their punching mechanics are deeply ingrained, do they experience dreams differently? Can they actually throw hard, fast, coordinated punches in dreams, or do they still get the same weak/sluggish feeling as everyone else?

Curious if any fighters or people who train combat sports have noticed this.
