Default Jens Pulver To Move To WEC After Penn?

Jens Pulver to WEC Featherweight Division? » MMA HQ - Mixed Martial Arts News and Analysis


It is only a Rumor, but I really hope it's true because I beleive Pulver will give Faber an ass whooping I always like Pulver a lot.

I think Pulver could dominate the featherweight division. The lightweight division, im sceptical. So if he does make the move, good for him. I think it would be good for him.

If this is true, it sounds to me like a very clear giveaway of who will be winning the Pulver-Penn fight, if we actually needed any additional reassurance.

The fight hasn't happened so how would this be a give away? Maybe I'm mis- reading your post.

Well, it sounds like Pulver believes he cannot make it among 155 pounders and, if this is true, that speaks of his chances against a guy who fights 170 pounders and above.

I like Pulver a great deal, but Faber was damn impressive last night. His wrestling skills are crazy and he's built like a mini-Sean Sherk... who, of course, is mini himself.

Faber's a beast. If Jens really wants a piece of him, then it's got nothing to do with running.

I don't know about Faber but I hope UFC makes a division with the weight class that Faber is in so I can see how he fights...As for Jens, I don't think he will rule as a LW not in the UFC cause of the talents that is the LW division.

I don't know about Jens leaving, cuz IF he beats BJ i wouldn't put it past Dana to offer him the winner of Sherk-Franca

Come on, man! He did everything but knockout the newcomer. And the newcomer had a solid chin, like I have not seen in a long time. The fight was one of the best we have seen in UFC events this year. And Huerta won it by a stretch. He is the real deal. He will be king as soon as he gets the chance. The only way I see him being defeated is by getting caught in a submission, and that would never happen with Pulver.

Garcia went to his corner after round 1 and told them he had zero power. You can here it clearly on the PPV, I heard it at Hooters while it was happening. Very few people are called out for not having power in the middle of a fight.

Garcia could very well be trying to encourage himself for what was ahead of him. And how much encouragement he needed! In any case, time will tell.

Ok are you ****ing around with me? What great wins does Huerta have? NONE!!!!
Pulver on the other hand has wins over Joe stevenson, Caol Uno, BJ Penn, and has several wins in pride where they have the most competitive lightweight pool there is.

Where to start? Okay, I'm a Pulver fan and will really be rooting for him against Penn. But let's look at the names you put out. You do realize Pulver beat Joe Stevenson before Joe's 17th birthday, right? It was 8 years ago. In fact, when was the last big win of Jens'? Penn was 5 years ago and that was his last big win. You mentioned his time in Pride where he was 2-2 with Mach and Gomi defeating him handily while Jens beat two guys, Arai and Iwama, who have .500 records.

Dana's probably going to keep 145 a WEC thing until it gets popular, if he wanted them in the UFC they would have been there by now
