MMA Veteran Jens Pulver Is Planning A Early 2010 Return

MMA Veteran Jens "Lil Evil" Pulver

MMA Veteran Jens "Lil Evil" Pulver

From MMAFanhouse:

"I'm going to fight again," he said. "And I'm about as confident as I possibly can be.  For me, the biggest thing was that I wasn't going to take a fight unless I got out of the sad-ass circle I was sitting in in Iowa, and I'm not attacking any one person there," he said. "I wouldn't do it if I didn't come home. God love the midwest and Iowa, thank you for everything, but I missed the blue turf, I missed the water, I missed the mountains. Out here, I'm back where I started and doing it right"

The UFC, WEC, and PRIDE veteran speaks on making the move back to Idaho from Iowa where it all began.  Pulver has lost 6 out of his last 7 and his last 4 in a row.  Granted, all of those fights he was fighting some of the very best in the world including Urijah Faber(2x), BJ Penn, and Leonard Garcia just to name some.  I asked if Pulver's last fight against up and coming Josh Grispi would be the end of the road if he lost.  He lost in devastating fashion, getting choked out in :33 seconds.  Pulver is really one of the good guys in the sport, and deserves to go out on his own terms.  I wonder if the time away and change of scenary will be beneficial to him?  Who would you like to see him matched up against next?

Good for Jens. He’s doing what he wants to do.
