Bellator Fighting Championships featherweight champion Joe Warren plans to fight in the promotion’s upcoming bantamweight tournament with the goal of holding titles in two weight classes.
Warren made the proclamation in an on-air interview during the Bellator 37 telecast on March 19.
A Greco Roman wrestling world champion before moving to MMA in 2009, Warren (6-1) got off to a fast start, defeating former WEC champ Chase Beebe and longtime star Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto in the DREAM featherweight Grand Prix before losing to Bibiano Fernandes.
Warren then came to Bellator and went 4-0 in 2010, including an incredible come-from-behind second round TKO win over Joe Soto to win the Bellator title.
