Can someone not feel i.e. neglect pain sensation? Ronda Rousey (UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion) once said on a talk show (Conan) that she can take a punch and not feel pain, she added that she knows what pain is and she can just simply neglect them without feeling it

Can anyone without Analgesia, Hypoalgesia or any other syndrome can neglect the feeling of pain with any training?
Totally neglect pain? Probably not, but mediate pain sensation? Definetly!
