In this riveting episode of Mind The Mic, host Shubz interviews James Te Huna, a former UFC fighter and proud Māori man. James shares his journey into martial arts, a passion that began at a young age. He recounts his first fight in a hangar in Invercargill, New Zealand—a daunting experience for a young fighter. Despite struggling to master basic moves, James’s relentless work ethic set him apart in the MMA world.

James also opens up about the childhood traumas he’s only now beginning to understand and how they continue to impact him. He reflects on his tumultuous upbringing and the significant influence of fighters like Mark Hunt and David Tua in shaping his career. Fans will also get an inside look at his iconic “Men in Black” walkout.

Beyond his fighting career, James discusses his work with NRL teams, including his role as a contact coach, and why he believes the Penrith Panthers are so successful. This episode offers an in-depth look at the life and mind of a fighter who has faced both triumphs and challenges in and out of the octagon.
