Oh…I might have to suck it up and go.
Jens Pulver needs to hang his gloves up and leave them there.
hes come back like a billion times talking about hows hes got a new way of looking at fighting and his styles and yet stills gets annihilated
he was amazing a few years ago but now hes not catching up with the rest of the featherweight fighters at all
I have to agree. Even though I like seeing him fight, it has been painful to watch his last couple of fights. I don’t want him to go out like a Shamrock. He needs to know it’s time to walk away- I thought he realized it after his last loss.
This is a strong card, if the WEC finds a way to get Faber on it, too, I’m worried this may be their first PPV….
