I think he most definately should be in the Hall of Fame. He has Class-
sometimes people don’t always realize how hard life can be. He has always spoken honestly from what I have seen. I wish him well and know he will find/be given/fall into something worthy of Him. He deserves to. Let me just say that I am close to someone who took some of the Fame away from him. This person has Great Respect for him – and so should everyone else. Why do people always KICK you when you are down. I think we need to give a hand to others who maybe have had their Glory but are now moving on. Best of Luck Jens – You will do well!!!!
Thank for being the person you are.

It’s definitely overdue….frankly he just walked into that submission. He didn’t really look like he wanted to fight.

I hate to see Jens Pulver go out like this. I was rooting for him to get the win and at least go out on a win, but it’s not meant to be.

He’s had a great run and deserves all the respect that he gets and should be inducted into the UFC Hall Of Fame for sure.

Cheers Lil Evil on a great career.

If Ken Shamrock and Mark Coleman are in there you have to include Jens. He was the first UFC lightweight champion and not to mention losses outside the UFC apparently don’t count towards your record for hall of fame guys…wins do though

At least he realizes that it’s over and he’s going out gracefully. I’ve always liked his attitude and the fact he’d fight anyone.

Cant really see him being a hall of fame kinda guy . Since he joined Pride in 2004 he’s lost 8 of 12 fights including losing 7 of his last 10 . He did have a run early in his career kinda but seemed to do better in the smaller shows .No doubt he didnt duck anyone , but on the same note he didnt do so well against them either . Most of his losses were in the first round .

This probably came maybe 1 or 2 fights too late, but when you’re a future UFC Hall of Famer, you get to choose when and where you hang them up.
Best of luck in whatever Lil’Evil pursues next. IMO he’d be a great trainer, maybe in the Pat Miletich mold.

It was an honor to have been there to see his last win.

That’s a hell of a stable of fighters in his last 10 fights.
