Addison Sports Management @ Media Signs Kelly Warren

Kelly Warren

Addison Sports Management and Media announces that it has signed MMA fly-weight  Kelly Warren totheir growing client list of world class athletes.


Kelly started in traditional martial arts of Shorinji Ryu and  Akido , earning a black belt at the age of 6. In 2008 Kelly began to elevate in her interest of MMA by training intensively in Brazilian Jujitsu and kick-boxing in her home state of Michigan under Dan Cousineau at Dragon MMA, Lee Dickinson at Integrated Training Systems 


and Jacksons MMA in Albuquerque New Mexico for 6 months with Greg Jackson and some of the top female fighters; Julie Kedzie, Michelle Waterson, Heather Clark.

Warren had a very successful career compiling a record of 9-3 with a number or Midwest region belt titles in the 115 and 125 weight class. 

In 2010 she received her blue-belt under Cousineau at Dragon MMA.Cousineau holds a black-belt under Marcelo Monterio. it was at that time that she with her coaches decided a pro career was appropriate.

Kelly is currently back in her native state and home gyms in Michigan at Dragon MMA and Integrated Training systems.

" I had actually known of Kelly and was also aware that she had some very tough fights with world ranked females. I felt that her record didn't accurately characterize her performance or ability. If you look at her last 3 losses, they're against ranked females and one pioneer of the sport of which could've been an outcome of a different nature had there been 1 less second at Resurrection Fighting Alliance in March of 2012. Be that as it may, I liked Kelly when I met her. She is a very easy and has a great sense of humor. What I saw in the fight was someone of an athlete that was very attractive to me. It seems to me the norm with allot of female fighters that when the cage door 
shuts, there is a switch that flips that transforms them, I can see happen right in front of me very much more than in a male fighter. I think with working with Kelly's coaches to match her appropriately that she will recover successfully in a very short amount of time."  

Addison Sports Management and Media continues to become a leader in the representation of  female MMA athletes of an elite class.
