Marino,
Will has as much to do with masking pain as does adrenaline. A big part, if not the biggest part, of overcoming pain and building up your tolerance to it is found in sheer willpower. You have to develop in your own mind and heart the will to not show pain. Refuse to allow even a hint of it to creep across your features when you train or fight. Never, ever show the other guy what hurts, what's tired, or what's less than 100%. Just convince yourself that you just can't be fazed. I'm not trying to be esoteric or anything. It really is a matter of willpower. You don't need training to be just like a fight. Your mindset is enough.
