In a classic fight for the Bellator bantamweight title, Joe Warren was beaten senseless for five minutes in the first round against Joe Soto, only to storm back and knock Soto out just 33 seconds into the second round.
It was one of the fights of the year, and a fight that showed that Warren, a world-class wrestler, also has an incredible chin and powerful striking.
“I had a bad first round,” Warren said afterward. “I took a deep breath, got my focus back and pushed hard. You can’t stop me. I’m the baddest man on the planet.”
