Since his departure from the sport, Justin had spent time doing humanitarian work in Africa, where he has helped Pygmy villages and the villagers with liberating them from slavery, preserving the rainforest, and wildlife conservation. Albeit winning his fight against Robertson, Wren would sustain a back injury from a takedown which would then require him to get back surgery to repair discs. His last fight was in July 2010, when he defeated Josh Robertson via submission at Fight Force International. Following his loss to Madsen, Wren would go on a three-fight winning streak outside of the UFC. Wren only fought once in the UFC (excluding the TUF “exhibition” fights), losing a split decision to Jon Madsen. Wren would then lose a close decision to Roy Nelson, who many (including Dana White) felt was controversial, feeling that Wren should have been awarded with the win. Wren would be the third selection under coach Rashad Evans (sixth pick overall), and would defeat Wes Sims via submission in his first fight of eliminations. Wren (10-2) made his biggest splash in the sport when he landed on the cast of season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.
