Since returning to the UFC in September of 2006, Jens “L’il Evil” Pulver hasn’t exactly ripped through the competition. In fact, he went 0-2 in the UFC, losing to Joe Lauzon and B.J. Penn, then transferred over to sister promotion WEC to try his hands once again in the featherweight division.
So far, the former UFC lightweight champion hasn’t faired much better there. He started off strong with an impressive submission of an emerging Cub Swanson, but that’s when he hit a virtual wall.
His next three bouts would see him drop a hard fought five-round battle to then-champion Urijah Faber, get TKO’d by contender Leonard Garcia, and then rematch with Faber, only to be submitted after falling to a stunning liver shot.
Even worse, he was asked after the second Faber bout if he felt he was “still relevant” in today’s world of mixed martial arts.
