Jens Pulver

Well, they've been doing it for a while, Sean.

Will we see Jens Pulver try his left hook in Bare Knuckle next? He replies to basically anybody on Facebook.

Maybe we should ask.

Ugh.

People were anxiously awaiting.

the return of the great Jens Pulver to the lightweight division where he left, there was some controversy, some contract things and him and Dana, whatever it was.

And then, you know, he's coming back.

It was a huge deal at the time.

Got a call from the UFC.

I'm like, okay.

He's like, they want you to fight Jens Pulver.

And I'm like, get out of here.

Diego built a professional MMA record of 7-1, competing for organizations, let me know if this is right, including Bellator, correct? Yes.

And defeating former UFC champion Jens Pulver.

After a detached retina threatened his eyesight and ended his MMA career, he entered the newly revived world of professional bare-knuckle boxing.

but Diego is more than a fighter.

I lost that one but I

was doing really good like I was

meddling I meddled at almost every single tournament I ever entered yeah but yeah with the Jens Pulver thing it was just more of a

like solidified what you already knew yeah that I

He was always doing...

He managed a lot of high-end people like Randy Couture, Jens Pulver, Boss Root, you know, I mean, big names.

And then he purchased at WFA, and then he went with Elite XC.

He was more of a thorn in everybody's side.

And I remember him calling me and asking me to come train with him, and I was like you, like, awestruck.

'Cause I watched BJ Penn fight Jens Pulver, win the title, Sean Shirk, all these, like, savages that he had choked out and beaten.

Matt Hughes, those wars with Matt Hughes, I watched all of them just, like, my jaw was to the floor watching BJ Penn fight Matt Hughes, you know?

Right.

Like Bruce Buffer, as a true professional, always says the judge's name, and in this instance he didn't.

So going into the fight, Takanori Gomi was 32 and eight with wins over Tyson Griffin, Jens Pulver, Sakurai, Marcus Aurelio, Halves Gracie, Chris Brennan, Romina Sato, Mishima, and Ryan Bow, amongst many others.

I- he had quite the reputation.

Well, no, for sure.

Yeah.

So a- after Lauzon, um, I mean, it was, it was, it was a career.

I mean, if you look at him in, in general, he's got wins over Jamie Varner, who I have the utmost respect for, uh, Melvin Guillard, Jeremy Stephens, Kyle Bradley, Jens Pulver, and Mike Brown.

Dude, he's got a win over Mike Brown.
