When Dominick Reyes credited his wife for grounding him

Dominick Reyes claimed in the past that the pressure of being a professional MMA fighter took a toll on his mental and emotional well-being. He explained that earlier in his career, he focused entirely on fighting, training with no balance, no family, and no personal life.

That single-minded approach left him feeling empty after tough losses. His perspective changed when he met his wife, Brenda Lupian, who helped him find balance and purpose beyond fighting. She provided a grounding presence that reminded him of what truly matters.

Speaking in an episode of the GYPSY TALES PODCAST, Reyes said:

"And then I got with my wife... And she's really good at grounding me... And just telling me, 'Hey, we're here together, and this is what matters. And we have our family.' That's the most beautiful, the most magnificent, beautiful thing a human being could do is make another human being [feel like that. And when I get to that phase of my life, then it's, you know, I'm kind of there now. It's like that's what matters. And love is what matters, right?"

He added:

"She's been amazing. I'm in such a good place mentally and physically now. That's like, for the first time in my life, I feel untouchable. Win or lose, it doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, it's like I don't, obviously, I'm going to do everything in my power, and my soul, my spirit, I'm never going to quit. You'll never ever see me quit ever, you know. You have to carry me out in a freaking bag. I'm not quitting, right? But I love what I'm doing again. I love it. I enjoy the process."
