MMA Fighter Joel Bauman Admits To Having Herpes Following Recent Victory
Joel Bauman shared a recent health condition after his most recent victory.
Post-fight interviews have a history of being unpredictable and entertaining. This is a time where fighters will spew at the mouth after the excitement of a victory kicks in. Recently Joel Bauman made a shocking revelation as to why he might have been off his game in his previous loss.
Bauman took down Reese Forest during Fury FC 61 on Sunday at Bert Ogden Arena in Texas. He picked up a victory via TKO before admitting that he was dealing with herpes during his previous loss. Bauman lost via submission to Josh Fremd in February and was dealing with other issues.
Joel Bauman admits to working hard on an NFT project that caused him to pull 30 all-nighters along with two outbreaks of herpes.
“Last fight I was tired, I was exhausted. I’m about to launch this NFT that’s going to change the fight game. And I put in 30 all-nighters before that fight, I had herpes before that fight, two outbreaks in the span of a week. I’m here, I’m healthy, let’s go, whatever. It doesn’t matter,” Bauman explained.

Joel Bauman Career
The loss to Fremd was the second of Bauman’s career. He began fighting professionally in 2018. This came after a 5-0 record in amateur bouts. After a victory against Manatua Lemaire in 2018, Bauman took a step up in competition.
Joel Bauman began his professional career with a victory over Corey Davis by decision. He won his first three professional fights before suffering his first loss in 2019 to Jordan Young. To this point, Bauman is 5-2 with one draw. He was able to bounce back in a big way after submitting to a rear-naked choke by Fremd back in January.
Bauman defeated Forest via TKO and seems to be back on track. He blamed his previous loss on his medical condition of herpes and a project he was working on. Bauman was able to backup his words in the ring and will have to do it again next time out.
It is unknown when Joel Bauman will get back in the ring but he will be coming off a victory and will have a chance to start a new streak.
