The story of Justin Wren has been well documented. His work with the Pygmy people of the Congo has reinvigorated his life, as well as his career as a fighter. And for his second fight since returning to mixed martial arts, he now has even more motivation. His close friend from the Congo, whom Justin has worked tirelessly with in his selfless efforts to give a voice to the Pygmy people, is in Houston for his fight.
“It’s the most motivation I’ve ever had for a fight, without a doubt,” Wren told Combat Press. “An hour and a half ago, I was at the airport picking him up. It’s his first time inside the United States. Now he’s here for the fight, able to be ringside and I get to have him backstage while I’m warming up and everything else.
