No Holds Barred: Joe Warren on Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with
wrestler and mixed martial arts fighter Joe Warren.
A 2006 Greco-Roman wrestling world champion, and one of the most
exciting competitors on the mat, Joe Warren has just signed to fight
in the Bellator Fighting Championships mixed martial arts promotion in
their featherweight (145 lbs.) tournament, starting this April. After
just a few months of training, he made his mixed martial arts debut in
2009 in the Dream featherweight tournament in Japan. He won his first
two fights over veterans Chase Beebe and Kid Yamamoto to advance to
the finals, before losing to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter Bibiano
Fernandes.
We spoke at length with Joe Warren about his plans to continue
wrestling while fighting. He told us why he believes that wrestling is
a tougher sport than mixed martial arts. He elaborated on the
relationship between wrestling and mixed martial arts, and the
transition wrestlers must make when they become professional fighters.
He discussed his fights in Dream, the upcoming tournament in Bellator,
his goal of wrestling in the 2012 Olympics, his plans to open a new
gym in Denver, Colorado, and much more.
