Holy shit, had no idea Justin going on Rogan's podcast was rescheduled for yesterday! About to watch this now. I am stuck snowed in since last night and it's STILL going.. I am bored out of my damn mind. This is going to be an entertaining 3 hours I desperately needed, haha

Thanks again for signing up here Justin. Can't even tell you how cool it is to have been able tofollow your journey through the UG and now here over the last 5 years or so. Can't wait to hear the podcast man

Justin, if you read this -

Would you be interested in doing a short/brief interview for this site, by PM or email? I'm gonna be writing some articles here soon, and I think having some original content such as interviews with our own fighter members would be great. Let me know what you think, promise I won't take up much of your time at all, just a few questions (hopefully more outside the box than you normally would get) so we can generate some fun stuff for our site to get traffic going

You're the man dude. I still have your email, let me know what you think and I can write something easy up and send it

I made it! Time to celebrate! (Pic below) Lol... Cool forum, nothing fancy, but from browsing it seems to have some good contributors so far :) I'll have to get the app and learn to post from it!
Awesome job on the podcast Justin. You are the kind of man lesser men like me strive to be like. Rogan was correct about the support you would get if you could get into title contention some day.....it would be enormous I believe, but I also believe from you first fight back you will have just about the entire mma world behind you. So glad you have decided to resume your mma career, best of luck on the journey and I sure as heck got your back win or lose.

Thanks for all the AWESOME support and encouragement on this thread. There are some GREAT members here. I'm loving it.

I might fight when my book releases. Not sure exactly where yet, but I should have something figured out here "soon." The publishing company and a couple of book stores say that would make publishing history. First time a fighter fought on the release date of their book, also, I've already given 100% of the money I've gotten from the book so far to fund our work in the forest, but that figure will go down to about 33%-50% when the book releases because I have to pay bills, etc. IF it's a good book then once the book advance is made back for the publishers then 33% will continue to go to Fight For The Forgotten.

Also, I don't care who I fight for, that win bonus is going to be made out to Fight For The Forgotten, not me. I don't need much these days after living under leafs, sleeping on the ground, being rained on, not having a toilet, shower, or running faucets for a year. Lol. When I was telling Loretta Hunt that with Joe listening they lit up, they thought it was a bigger deal than me... That's my motivation to WIN and get the mic and get people interested and invite them to get involved... And be able to say we are drilling this many wells, or buying this much land, etc because I won tonight and got to actually FIGHT for the forgotten.

Wonderful to have Justin Wren show up. Awesome! (used in the original form).

Did you ever get your website developer to finish your site, or is it still in limbo? If you recall you were interested in my services to overhaul and get you something that works, and someone who doesn't abandon you.

In any case, keep doing what you are doing. Only good things can come from it.

Nah man, actually that is still something I really need is a website for both Fight For The Forgotten and then one for myself. Mine can be super simple and maybe I'll use one of those drag and drop buttons website things?

A couple of websites I like how they look would be something like www.invisiblechildren.com or www.enditmovement.com

I'm searching for someone LEGIT to help me with the website, not pro-bono... Hopefully less than a business website but if it's a great opportunity for us we will snag it.

I do great web work, and everyone on the UG/OG and TMMAC (The MMA Community) who has gotten a site made with me would agree. In short, I'm LEGIT. I can definitely make sites similar in look and feel to the 2 you linked, with your own identity and feel to it.

Please email me and I will cut you a great deal for both your needed sites. calavaro at udemo dot net (replace the "at" and "dot" with @ and . )

Man, I'm half way into the newest JRE, and I gotta say it's pretty amazing what you do in Africa considering all the corruption.

Oh yeah and I always wondered, man.. Have you ever shown the Pygmies any submissions? Lol

Do they do any kind of wrestling/striking/grappling at all? If so what's it like?

Thanks for your time man

I'm curious about this as well. Never thought to ask, don't recall ever seeing anyone ask this before. Show those little pygmies some fighting moves, lord knows they could use the confidence and self defense.

It just hasn't been very practical to do seriously, but I've goofed around.

I've gotten out of being arrested by corrupt military by showing the military guys some jits and wrestling though! lol! That will be detailed in my book :)

Wow guys, three guys "late to the party" (speaking of when this thread was made)... But I really appreciate you all! Thank you! That is both humbling and encouraging to hear.

Justin - Let's make it a point to link up after you wrap up your book deal, and coordinate a Q&A here.
