After fixing mental game, WEC 47’s Jens Pulver knew retirement wasn’t the answer
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Shortly after a swift submission loss to Josh Grispi at WEC 41 this past summer, Jens Pulver was stuck in a four-fight losing skid and hinted at a likely retirement.
One of MMA’s first superstars appeared on his way out, and Pulver was left contemplating what he called “the death of Lil’ Evil.”
It soon proved too much for the 35-year-old to bare, and after working with a doctor to diagnos and treat depression and anxiety issues, Pulver spoke to WEC officials, who then gave him a main-card slot at tonight’s WEC 47 event against fellow vet Javier Vazquez.
