Joe Warren literally had a front-row seat for the unscripted reactions of the welterweight contestants on “Bellator MMA: Fight Master,” and his suspicion that he’d lose the show’s popularity contest wasn’t far off. To be fair, the competition for coaching was stiff. As winning fighters walked out of the cage to choose who would guide them through the reality show, they were greeted by a quartet of MMA notables: Randy Couture , Greg Jackson, Frank Shamrock and Warren. When fighters interviewed them for the job, you probably can guess which one got the most attention “A lot of the foreign fighters had like, a boy crush on Randy,” Warren (8-3 MMA, 6-2 BFC) told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com). So Warren, an ex-Bellator champ, did what good fighters do and adapted. “I tried to push that I’m the only person that’s actually a Bellator guy, that’s fought two tournaments and won a belts for them,” said the 36-year-old fighter, who previously won the promotion’s Season 2 tournament and the featherweight belt. “So I sold the idea that I understand the organization. If you want to be a champ, you’ve gotta come with me.” You can see the results as the teams begin to form over the next few weeks.
