Filed under: Bellator , Featured Videos , News , Videos Justin Wren has dedicated himself to humanitarian work for the Mbuti Pygmies in The People’s Republic of The Congo. His efforts to help his oppressed, adopted family came after a long period of his life that saw the veteran heavyweight struggle with addiction and a litany of personal issues. Recovery and humanitarian work have turned around Wren’s life and led to an MMA return at this past Friday’s Bellator 141 event after a more than five-year absence from competition. Wren won a unanimous decision over Josh Burns (8-9 MMA, 0-6 BMMA) at the Spike-televised event. Wren (11-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) has used the Bellator platform to promote his “ Fight for the Forgotten ” campaign, which includes a new book. He said he’s back to fighting full-time with a goal of a Bellator title belt, a goal that would bring even more attention to his Pygmie family
