Pat Miletich's Influence

When Jens Pulver birthed the idea of one day becoming a World Champion, he knew there would be difficult decisions ahead. However the choice of where he would receive the best possible training was crystal clear. He would move to Bettendorf, Iowa and unite with Pat Miletich. Under Pat's watchful eye, Jens would be cultivated into one of the most talented, feared and exciting athletes in all of Mixed Martial Arts. And through immeasurable dedication and perseverance, he would realize his dream.


Jens Pulver became a World Champion.

Jens:

I hope you continue to fight competively. Don't be discouraged by the Faber issue. It's old news that styles make fights at the highest level. Even the greatest legends in combat sport had styles that worked effectively against there's but did not mean that the fighter was any less of a warrior. Faber got served as well. He's no less of a fghter. There's someone out there who has a style that who can consistently beat Anderson Sylva. He's training in some obscure gym probably side be side with the guy who can beat JSP. Even Dan Gable lost!!! You are still young in your career. The sport needs you and you love it. Stay with competing in MMA. You have many years left in you!!!!

I have to say that you're the man who made me interested in the "little guys" I'm amazed at your talents and tenacity. The fights are much more exciting and even. Its much harder to stay at the top in the lighter divisions and you've been there for a long time. Keep inspiring people and dont give up yet...you still have way too much to offer and every fighter still fears you. As a fellow Washingtonian I'm proud of you. Good luck bro. I've also had tragic losses in my life and hope you have people you can talk to. Just in case, scottytb@hotmail.com. God bless you young man.

Man, you can't give up! You are a great fighter and you have many years left in you! Give Urijah a run for his money, make him keep fighting and you take the belt from the current and make Urijah come to you to try to take it back! You've been through alot and you are to be commended for continuing your engagements after such a tragic loss. No one could have expected more for you! Keep up with the new training and want to see you fight in a couple of months!

Nothing but respect Jens. You continue to show skill and class in and outside of the cage.

Your an example for others who come up from the pits, and for that I would just like to say thank you.

Congrats on the lil guy and I can't wait to see you back in action soon.

YOU ARE ONE CLASS ACT!!!! You may not have won the fight on Sunday but you gained my [and everyone's] respect for your absolute professional integrity. Why was the fight set in Sacramento -- to give Faber the fans' edge? If this is so, then all the more kudos to you for agreeing to fight in Faber's arena. Another testament to the wonderful person you are! Best wishes to you and your family. Come back and get 'em, Jens. WE LOVE YOU! Ronnie from Wylie, Texas.

I don't know why everyone is bitching on here, Urijah Faber and Jens Pulver and both two amazing fighters, Jens got great stand up with his knock-out punches and combos, and can make it happen on the ground. Urijah is a great explosive, determined fighter and is very skill full when it comes to his ground attack and isen't haft bad standing up. So if you think this fight is going to be one sided, your going to be sadly mistaken come the 1st.

I'll just put it to you this way...Jens is going to make Uriah his punk bitch! That left hand is going to Separate Uriahs "I like being prison raped" girl face from his fucking shoulders!

Fuck that lame ass, no respecting, havent fought anyone who is doing anything special, NorCal goat fucker!!!

Jens has more heart, grit, passion and talent in his cauliflowered left ear than Uriah could hope to have in five lifetimes.

Go get him champ! Send that talentless hack to the world combat league or maybe a long career in the IFL...You got this!

fuck the Jens haters. He has nothing to prove to anyone. He is already an MMA legend and his legacy is set in stone as probably the best light-weight fighter of his era. Irregardless, this is going to a GREAT fight. Uriah is a bull-dog, but he hasn't faced the kind of competition jens has. Time is on Uriah's side, but experience and over-all grit are on Jens. On sunday I'm just gonna sit back and watch the leather fly.

Jens is a good competitor but just don't feel he has what it takes to beat Urijah. just when you think there is nothing else he could do creatively, something else comes out instinctively.

All said, best wishes to the Pulver camp, and good luck.

I love the pictures of JENS and Monte Cox because he looks so cool with a mohawk and the look on his face looks kind of punky.
