Inside Apex: The Fighter’s Journey with Brennan Porter
Fighters are more than just athletes—they are students of the game, warriors inside the cage, and individuals driven by passion. Brennan Porter embodies this mindset, balancing his love for combat sports with the challenges of everyday life. In this Apex Insider exclusive, Brennan shares his thoughts on fight camp, personal growth, and how Apex Fight League has played a role in his journey.
🔥 Life Inside Apex Fight League
For Brennan, Apex Fight League stands out as a promotion that genuinely cares for its fighters:
🗣 "The difference between Apex and other promotions is how well they take care of their fighters. From weigh-ins to fight night, they make the process smooth. Matchmaking is always fair, allowing fighters to showcase their potential. Todd, the promoter, is a great guy—he knows most fighters by name and takes care of both his employees and the fighters. It’s an all-around comfortable experience in such a high-stress sport."
The atmosphere at Apex events creates an energy that fuels fighters to bring their best:
🗣 "The energy and atmosphere at the events are great! It’s a non-judgmental space that allows fighters to be themselves."
One of his most memorable moments came from outside the cage, watching his coach win a championship:
🗣 "My favorite fight moment in Apex is when I saw my coach, Justin Trigg, win his title fight!"
🧠 The Fighter’s Journey
Brennan’s journey in combat sports was inspired by someone close to him:
🗣 "My best friend inspired me to become a fighter. He’s a well-known pro MMA fighter here in Phoenix, and I’ve always looked up to him. Seeing what the sport has done for him, I thought I should give it a shot."
His first fight was a defining moment that shaped his outlook on fighting:
🗣 "I lost by decision, but I learned the most about myself in that fight. It made me love the sport even more because of how much knowledge you can gain from competing."
The biggest challenge for Brennan is one that many fighters face—balancing everyday life with training:
🗣 "The biggest challenge I’ve faced in this sport is balancing regular life and fighting. This is something I haven’t fully overcome and probably never will because life is always changing."
🥊 Behind the Scenes: Training & Mindset
Brennan’s fight camp is a non-stop grind, balancing multiple responsibilities:
🗣 "A typical fight camp for me is busy. I work a full-time job, have a part-time job as a cardio kickboxing trainer, and train every day for my fights."
The sacrifices fighters make often go unseen by fans:
🗣 "The balance between regular life and fighting requires a lot of discipline. Most people wouldn’t do this for free, but fighters do."
To stay mentally sharp and focused, Brennan keeps things simple:
🗣 "I stay sharp because I eat clean and train smart."
💡 Looking Ahead
For Brennan, success isn’t just about wins—it’s about enjoying the journey and inspiring others:
🗣 "My ultimate goal is to be a good example of doing something you love and finding success in it. It’s not about money; it’s about spirituality and relationships. Apex has been amazing for me—it’s given me the platform to compete at a high level in an environment that I enjoy."
His advice for young fighters is simple yet meaningful:
🗣 "Have fun. Make good experiences for yourself and build strong relationships with like-minded people."
As for where he sees himself in the coming years:
🗣 "I see myself having a good time training with my friends!"
