Jens Pulver – INTERVIEW

Jens Pulver: Fighting to Defend His Legacy
November 3rd, 2008
In the world of mixed martial arts, Jens Pulver had carved out a legendary career. He had been through the wars, fought in popular battles in the ring, held prestigious titles, and even coached a season of the Ultimate Fighter. Yet, despite all his accomplishments, Pulver’s journey was far from over.
As he discussed his upcoming fight, Pulver’s eyes betrayed the fire that still burned within him. Facing a formidable opponent, he leaned in, his intensity palpable. “It’s a familiar scenario every time I step into that cage,” he began, “except for the Faber fight. Everyone wants to use me as a steppingstone to climb the rankings. I look around, and I think to myself, ‘I need to get back up there and go all out.’ That’s my plan for this fight. These fighters want to be the ones to make their mark by defeating me, but I won’t let that happen.”
He went on to reveal his revamped training regimen, now under the guidance of Matt Hume. “I wholeheartedly believe in everything I’ve been learning with Matt Hume. We’re going all the way, even down to the diet. I relish every moment training with him. While four or five weeks might not be enough time to reach my ultimate potential, I’m in a place where I want to be.”
When asked if Pulver believed that his opponents, eager to make a statement against him, were in for a rude awakening, his response was resolute. “Absolutely. I’ve been a contender in this sport since 2002, maybe even earlier. They always see me as the benchmark to prove themselves. I’ve had enough of being the steppingstone. I might be getting older, maybe a bit grumpier, but when they say they’re going to come after me, they better be ready for a battle. We’ll see who has the stronger will.”
The conversation then turned to Pulver’s coaching ambitions. “Are you ready for another coaching stint like you did on the Ultimate Fighter?” he was asked.
A grin crossed Pulver’s face. “Oh, I’d jump at the chance. Coaching the 145-pound weight class or even the 135-pounders in a WEC version of the show would be a blast. Count me in.”
As the discussion drew to a close, Pulver expressed his appreciation for the opportunity ahead. “Thank you for your support, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the fight.”
Jens Pulver, a seasoned veteran of the sport, possessed an unwavering determination and an undying passion for mixed martial arts. His upcoming battle would be no walk in the park for his opponent, as Pulver had no intention of relinquishing the spotlight he had fought so hard to earn.
