Growing up, Bryan Barberena’s goal was to stay out of fights. And if you knew him outside of the Octagon you’d probably be surprised to find out he is a professional fighter.
The smiley, go-lucky father of three happily rocks painted fingernails every fight week as a reminder of what he is fighting for. He lives on a farm outside of Knoxville, Tennessee and spends time with his girls and wife when he isn’t in North Carolina training. Barberena is also the type of guy to walk out to the Octagon to “Baby Shark.”
Underneath all that is a fierce competitor there to prove that he’s the better man.
