7 - MMA Fighters Warrior Mindset

Gina Guy Warren is joined by two real warriors who know what it means to fight both in the cage and in life—her husband, Brian “Mr. UnBreakable” Warren, and special guest James Fanshier. Brian’s fighting career began with his first underground match in Tijuana, Mexico, at just 24. He went on to compete in K-1 USA, Strike Force, and Bellator, holding championship belts in King of the Cage and Gladiator Challenge with an 18-18-1 MMA record. In 2026, he’ll be inducted into the King of the Cage Hall of Fame. James Fanshier’s career began at sixteen, wrestling more than 200 matches before moving into San Sho and MMA. He became a national San Sho IKF Champion, another King of the Cage and Gladiator Challenge titleholder, and even appeared on American Gladiator.

Together, these fighters and Gina unpack what it means to live with a warrior mindset—where endurance, humility, and faith meet. James recalls hearing a training partner’s voice mid-fight saying, “Gonna throw punches until I die,” while Brian shares, “My strength is my heart. I won’t give up until the match is over, my hands are raised, or I’m carried out on a stretcher.” Their stories reveal that victory doesn’t begin in the cage—it begins in the spirit. True warriors fight with conviction, discipline, and an unbreakable heart anchored in Christ.

Focus for the Fight:

When the pressure hits, what voice do you hear in your head—the one of fear, or the one of faith?
How can you train your mind and spirit with the same discipline these fighters bring into the cage?
