Justin Wren vs. Kimbo Slice next?
We all fight for a reason. But Bellator MMA heavyweight Justin Wren has a best one imaginable. His fights to promote his efforts to Fight for the Forgotten.

FFTF is a non-profit making life-altering impact in the remote parts of the Congo jungle. They are working to free the Mbuti Pygmy people from slavery, and then develop sustainability. Jesus said to love another. Wren really does that.
The book Fight for the Forgotten chronicles his efforts, and the personal fall and rise that preceded it. Among his many notable efforts in the Congo is drilling wells, so that villagers have access to clean water for the first time in their lives. 35 water wells have been drilled and counting. If you want to help build a well, DONATE HERE.
In addition, Fight for the Forgotten has bought nearly 3,000 acres for the formerly landless Pygmies to call their own, with now three working farms, where they can grow their own food.
To me, the sound of the splashing of the water when it hits the cement when it first comes out and the eruption of the whole village that to me is the most special sound in the whole world, Wren said.
I want my journey and legacy on this earth, no matter how short it is, [to be that people say] ‘That dude … he loved people.’ I want to do three things in my life: I want to love God, love people, and push back darkness. And if I can just live to love, then I know I’ll love to live.
Wren also uses his fighting career, both indirectly through publicity (like this) and directly through winnings, to further his humanitarian aims.
On Friday, Wren beat Juan Torres via unanimous decision, pushing his record to 12-2, and his win streak to five. It looks like next up could be Kimbo Slice, who defeated DaDa 5000 on the same card.
