The Weekly Grind: Valentina Shevchenko gets down, Julianna Peña jumps off cliff

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."
