American Warrior

About Me


My name is Josh Haynes, but a lot of people know me by my ring name Bring The Pain (BTP). You may have seen me at various UFC events, on Spike Tv or on CMT. I currently train and coach at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. www. xtremecouture.tv


My most recent Reality show: Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge on CMT.

Besides being a professional MMA fighter I'm happily married with 3 children. I am deeply in love with my wife and children. My wife is very supportive in everything I do and always keeps me on track. We've been together since we were 16 yrs old.
My children are ages 9, 6, and 3. Sabrina is the oldest then Thor and then Maximus. Probably the most difficult thing I’ve faced as a parent is when Thor was diagnosed with brain cancer (there's a little more about this in my Pics section). He is doing great now and has been cancer free for 4 years!!!! My family means everything to me. Every thing I do is with them in mind. I make mistakes, who doesn't, but I always make them with the best intentions.
Despite a lot of hardships growing up I feel I have been blessed with great opportunities in my life to build a good life for myself & my family, and I feel fortunate for everything that comes my way. I'll always take the good with the bad in life...and I couldn't think of a better profession than getting paid to punch people in the face...ha, ha, ha.

I think I got that covered. I have a great family and I'm surrounded by awesome friends. I already met my Wife and have my Kids, that's good enough for me. Everyone after that is a bonus.

The Man in the Arena
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
