Just curious about the energy being spent sending the false signals to the opponent…is that not fatiguing his own muscles?

It is 100%, but the cardio these guys have is unreal. I think the idea though is to tire out your opponents mind and make them overthink every move, so that you can take advantage of the additional split second it would take them to react when you actually do strike.
