“Whoa…” was mine along with probably many others when ex-Bellator champion Joe Warren (8-3) called out The Academy’s Nick Kirk on National TV on one of Bellator’s Live events. It came off as a Professional wrestling type calling out, but it was very calculated by matchmakers and the promotions talent coordinators alike.
After a layoff and being one of the featured coaches on Spike TVs “Fight Master” Joe Warren isn’t giving Credit where credit is due with his Opponent in the promotions’ bantamweight Tournament bout. A brash, arrogant, and out spoken character Warren during his call out stated that “kirk shouldn’t even show up”. This lit a fire under the Minnesota native.
Kirk (10-2) despite being 0-2 in Bellator, is more than up to the challenge. The 2 losses for Kirk were both razor thin decision losses, with a third chance and biggest chance of his life to define his career “the big hurt” has put in a great camp for this fight. With most if not all of the MMA world claiming this is a feeder fight or that Bellator wants to boost Warren again, kirk is using it as motivation and looking shock the world, pull out all the stops, and come out on top on the Main card of This Saturdays Bellator 98 at the Mohegan sun Casino in Connecticut. The State, his family, friends, and entire team are also thinking the same.
