Make no mistake about it – Joe Warren was in trouble.
The hard-nosed, never-say-die wrestling stud looked to have finally met
his match in the explosive Patricio “Pitbull” Freire, and it was only
the bell that helped Warren survive the opening frame of the pair’s main
card featherweight matchup at Thursday’s Bellator Fighting Championship 23 event in
Louisville, Ky.
But Warren dug deep in the final two frames and took advantage of a
slowing “Pitbull” while wrestling his way to a hard-fought
split-decision in Bellator’s final season-two event.
