Aires – a pioneer in protective tech – announced a strategic partnership with the UFC last year. And when these two powerhouses teamed up, it resulted in a game-changing alliance that is reshaping the way we think about performance, recovery, and wellness.

Since the partnership began between Aires and UFC, Aires has been making major moves bringing EMF protection technology to one of the most demanding sports on the planet. From training to the Octagon to the lab, here’s a look at what Aires has accomplished so far with the UFC and why it’s just the beginning.

A growing lineup of UFC fighters are embracing EMF protection as part of their performance and recovery strategy. As official Aires ambassadors, these athletes have brought EMF awareness to the Octagon and beyond – bringing global attention to the importance of science-backed protection against the impacts of EMF exposure. 

Fast and focused, UFC Lightweight star Michael Chandler embodies a relentless drive for excellence – making him a perfect ambassador Aires. In training, fighting, and recovery, he’s constantly pushing his limits and seeking out new ways to maximize his abilities.

"I’m always looking for an edge and constantly pushing myself beyond what I think I’m capable of. Aires has become a key part of that process for me. It’s not just about how hard I train; it’s about being mindful of what I expose my body to. Aires provides that extra layer of protection, helping me stay at my peak.”

Maycee Barber’s commitment to her health and wellness goes beyond the Octagon. She uses Aires to help optimize her performance by counteracting EMF’s harmful effects. We’re surrounded by technology daily – from our smartphones to fitness trackers – and Barber is one of the many athletes who are beginning to understand how these conveniences come with risks. Her research into the impact of EMFs led Barber to Aires.

"I conducted thorough research on the impact of Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMF) on our bodies, leading me to seek a company with expertise in counteracting EMF's harmful effects. Aires Tech emerged as the ideal choice. Their products not only improved my physical well-being but also positively affected my mood.”

More rising stars and seasoned contenders have joined the Aires team, including Luana Santos, Cory Sandhagen, and Marquel Mederos. They’re part of a growing group of athletes who are thinking beyond training and diet, looking at how EMF exposure could be affecting their performance and recovery. Using Aires reflects their commitment to protecting the health, both in and out of the Octagon.

At UFC 307 in Salt Lake City, Aires took the fan experience to a whole new level with the Aires Reaction Challenge where they invited fans to put their reflexes to the test for a chance to win Aires devices. The booth drew huge crowds and resulted in something powerful beyond the giveaways – curiosity.

Fans walked away not only with prizes, but also with an awareness of the invisible impact of EMFs. They were able to see first-hand how Aires is leading the charge in optimizing our environments by neutralizing harmful EMFs, leading to new conversations around the relationship between tech and wellness.

The UFC Performance Institute (PI) is widely regarded as the gold standard in athlete wellness, performance, and recovery. With state-of-the-art equipment and a global team of experts, it serves as the ultimate training hub for UFC fighters. But in our increasingly tech-saturated world, even the most advanced facilities must consider their hidden opponent: EMFs. That’s where Aires comes in.

In 2024, Aires officially partnered with the UFC to integrate its EMF protection technology in the PI. From training areas to recovery spaces, this technology optimizes this space for athlete safety and performance. By reducing the invisible strain of EMF exposure, Aires helps support quicker recovery and improved focus – both essential for these athletes who push their bodies to the limit every day.

“When I first saw how Aires Tech mitigates the negative effects of EMF on human brain activity, I was blown-away…seeing EEG recordings of brain waves and how Aires Tech can restore optimal brain function, I was convinced of its health benefits.”

-Dr. Duncan French, Senior Vice President of the UFC Performance Institute

Before UFC 309 in New York City, Aires co-hosted a symposium dedicated to exploring the growing science of peak performance. This roundtable discussion featured a panel of influential UFC voices and experts in the field of performance and technology, such as:

• UFC Hall-of-Famer Daniel Cormier

• Featherweight contender Dan Ige

• Neuroscientist and brain health specialist Dr. Nicholas Dogris

• Aires CEO Josh Bruni

Together, these experts shed light on how EMF exposure affects athletes and how Aires offers a proactive solution – one that’s grounded in science and proven through real-world testing. This symposium also highlighted how adding Aires’ EMF protection technology to the UFC Performance Institute continues to advance the PI’s holistic approach to training and recovery for UFC athletes. 

This partnership between UFC and Aires is beneficial to fans as well as athletes. It’s sparking a conversation about EMF exposure and wellness on a broad scale. With the UFC’s fanbase reaching hundreds of millions, this collaboration is bringing EMF awareness to an entire audience who may not have otherwise considered the impact of this hidden radiation in their daily lives.

By aligning with high-profile fighters and bringing this innovative technology into the world-class Performance Institute, Aires is helping educate athletes and fans alike on the potential risks of EMFs and the science-backed solutions proven to mitigate them.

Aires’ work with the UFC has laid a powerful foundation, and it’s only the beginning. As Aires continues to lead the charge in EMF awareness and protection, expect to see more athlete stories and bold new steps. This collaboration is reshaping how we think about health and performance in a tech-saturated world.

By bringing Aires’ EMF protection technology to the UFC, this alliance is setting a new standard for what it means to truly support athletes striving for peak performance. Not only that, it’s opening eyes around the world to the idea that wellness goes beyond just diet and exercise – it also means finding ways to protect ourselves from the impact of the tech-heavy environments we live in every day. Together, Aires and the UFC are championing a holistic, proactive approach to health and performance, both inside and outside the Octagon.
