"I'll win the Olympics in 2012," Warren told Ranallo. "We'll win this fight here this coming Thursday, then the 25th [DREAM.16], and then hopefully we get the DREAM belt on New Year's. I'll defend my titles the first few months of next year, and then retire from fighting, go into the Olympics and then come back after it."

Kinda what I was thinking
I doubt that one can compete at that high of a level when they’re playing around in other arenas..
You know what's really fun? Not being a raving lunatic. Give it a try some time, you might just like it!

Warren’s wrestling hasn’t seemed to translate so well to MMA, so far. Guy’s got a hell of a chin, though.
"I talked about retirement a little bit, but told them I'd be the same ol' grumpy, pissed off guy." --Bobby Cox
His only real skill IS wrestling.
He beats guys by clinch domination and takedowns. That’s basically pure wrestling skill.
He couldn’t get a takedown to save his life in the first round of the Pitbull and Soto fights. He charged forward trying to grab a clinch, and got his face boxed off for it. Pitbull even scored a clean takedown on him in the first round.
I think that’s what Anthony was reffering to. Warren isn’t a guy like Askren who can just take guys down at will and run game on them. It seems like Warren is always in a life and death struggle in his fights.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
Joe Warren is a Greco-Roman wrestler.
I will link you two to the Greco-Roman rules if you would like me to.
I’m aware of how Greco works. That doesn’t mean you have to run at guys with your arms stretched out trying to grab a clinch while they punch you in the face. I don’t see Couture, Henderson or Lindland doing that, and they’re all Greco guys. They set up their clinches with strikes. They don’t come at guys like a zombie.
