The former Iowa State wrestling recruit is fighting at Hilton this Saturday.
I wrote a story about him that was in the Daily yesterday.

I did a video interview with him as well.

Grant Turner, who had a good year as a Grand View assistant, was training with him on Monday.
[Beware: the video has a couple little glitches I need to fix tomorrow.]
Anyhow, here is some stuff I didn't include in the story:
I talked to him for several hours this past week, so I could probably answer some responsible questions about what he's up to. He's living in Fort Worth, training and teaching MMA classes while also serving as a youth group leader.

Anyhow, here is some stuff I didn't include in the story:
- Wren trained with gold medalists Kenny Monday and Kendell Cross in high school
- He is heavily considering joining up with Golden Glory, which is based in Holland, or Team Miletich
- The guy he's fighting next Thursday, Corey Salter, is 7-12.
- As a senior, e wore a leopard-print, Borat-style thong-singlet to weigh-ins at the Texas high school state tournament. All of the wrestlers, coaches and refs were in the same gym when he disrobed his shirt and shorts.
- He became a Christian in November of 2007.
- He has a cane corso mastiff named Knuckles, who he said looks like a "pitbull on steroids."
