It seems pointless to write another career eulogy for former UFC lightweight champ Jens Pulver, who suffered his sixth straight loss on last night’s War on the Mainland event. He’s clearly not interested in taking the hint, and we’re running out of positive things to say as he continues his quest for diminishing paychecks.
It took just a little over a minute for relative MMA novice Diego Garijo to drop Pulver with a straight left and then lock in an arm-in guillotine choke for the submission finish last night. According to MMA legend Bas Rutten, who helped out with color commentating duties for last night’s event, this loss was a sign that Pulver needed to dedicate himself to improving his ground game.
“Jens Pulver, if he wants to continue his career, I say, move. Move to Brazil for six months, and the only thing you’re doing is ground fighting.”
