Justin “The Big Pygmy” Wren is a former UFC and current Bellator MMA fighter, podcast host of Overcome with Justin Wren, and founder of the charity Fight for the Forgotten.
Fight for the Forgotten exists to empower the most bullied people in the world. They serve displaced indigenous peoples groups in west Africa to help ensure their health and human rights, and work to address the mental and emotional health needs of at-risk youth in the US through bullying prevention and character development programs.
