Piecing Together Greatness: Maycee Barber and Aires Tech

“The puzzle piece that I wear with my Aires Tech device is very significant to me and my life.

I have always looked at life as a giant puzzle, each part of it being a piece, and although

they may not be the perfect shape or size, they are important to completing the puzzle and

my life. Not everything is pretty. Not everything is easy. But at the end of the day, my life,

and everything that builds it, is unique and my own, and needed to create my story. If I were

to get rid of every ugly or imperfect aspect of my life, there would be holes, so this puzzle

piece that I wear is a constant reminder that everything that happens to me, good or bad, is

crucial to the completion of me.”

- Maycee Barber

In sports, as in life, we all strive to put the pieces together. When you stand back and look at the big picture, every piece matters. That’s exactly how UFC fighter Maycee Barber sees her journey, and she carries this philosophy with her - literally. The puzzle piece she wears around her neck is a symbol of her life’s many parts: the victories, the setbacks, the triumphs, and the trials.

It’s a powerful reminder that every experience is essential to completing the puzzle of who we are. And for Maycee, the ugly and imperfect parts are just as important as the wins. She’s not about erasing her struggles but embracing them as part of her strength.

Hear more about Maycee's story from Maycee herself on The Wave Forward Podcast.

If you’re a fan of the UFC, then you likely know the name Maycee “The Future” Barber. She’s not just another fighter; she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s racked up wins against tough opponents like JJ Aldrich, Gillian Robertson, and Miranda Maverick, quickly rising through the ranks of the flyweight division.

But Maycee’s journey isn’t just about what happens under the bright lights on fight night. It’s about how she prepares - physically, mentally, and holistically. She’s not just working to be stronger or faster. She’s working to become the best version of herself in every possible way. That’s where Aires Tech comes into play.

Barber’s commitment to her health and wellness has her optimizing her performance from every angle. EMF protection is a key piece of that. We are surrounded by technology - from smartphones to fitness trackers - and more and more athletes are starting to understand these conveniences come with risks.

Maycee Barber’s partnership with Aires Tech isn’t just another sponsorship deal - it’s part of her bigger puzzle. The Lifetune device she wears alongside her puzzle piece shields from the invisible threat of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), and it helps unlock enhanced cognitive function and overall wellness that gives Maycee an edge against her opponents.

She has the brain scans to prove it. With and without her Lifetune Flex , the difference in her baseline brain function is clear. The device optimizes how her brain performs, and for athletes who rely on split-second reactions and intense focus, that’s a game-changer.

Beyond the mental edge, protecting from the effects of EMF can also play a role in reducing inflammation. This is a massive advantage for any athlete, especially in a sport as physically demanding as MMA. For Maycee, who pushes her body to its limits, controlling inflammation is critical for staying in peak condition.

One of the biggest benefits of minimizing EMF exposure for athletes? Recovery. Every athlete knows that how fast you bounce back from hard training or a fight is just as important as how hard you push yourself when training. EMF exposure can slow recovery by negatively impacting sleep and immune system response . By incorporating EMF protection into her wellness toolbox, Maycee is able to recover faster and get back to training sooner, keeping her on track toward her goals.

Maycee’s journey really is like a puzzle. Each fight, each training session, each injury is a piece, and it’s her resilience that pulls it all together. She’s faced injuries, like the torn ACL that sidelined her in 2020. But even in those moments of setback, she’s found strength. As Maycee herself puts it, “If I were to get rid of every ugly or imperfect aspect of my life, there would be holes.” That’s why the puzzle piece she wears around her neck is such an important lesson for all of us - it’s a constant reminder that everything, the good and the bad, is needed to complete the story.

At just 26, Maycee Barber has already made a name for herself, and she’s only getting started. She’s determined to become a UFC champion, and with the tools she’s gathered along the way - including her partnership with Aires Tech - there’s no doubt she’s equipped to reach her goals.

Her partnership with Aires Tech isn’t just a personal advantage. It’s a wake-up call to the sports world. As more athletes begin to understand the impact of EMF on their bodies and minds, EMF protection technology like the Lifetune devices could become essential gear, every bit as important as gloves or mouthguards.

Maycee’s puzzle is still coming together, and with each new piece, she’s showing us all that greatness isn’t just about physical strength. It’s about resilience and the willingness to embrace every challenge that comes your way. Maycee’s journey is a reminder that in sports, and in life, it’s not just the easy or pretty pieces that matter. Every setback, every injury, every moment of doubt is a chance to grow. And when you’re willing to embrace the ugly pieces, you might just put together something beautiful.
