Man, this looks so good. When you look at Jens, you don’t expect him to be as well spoken as he is. Really shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover huh?

I know I couldn’t watch this whole documentary without getting choked up. Maybe I’m just a pansy, but Jens hits close to home.

I with you dude

I almost shed a tear during his post-fight interview. Jens would be a great motivational speaker.

Dude I almost cried watching this 4 minute clip.

Something about Pulver. I’m not smart enough to verbalize what he is the right way, but he’s special. He just a normal, unappreciated dude, doing everything he can to support himself and his family. He’s not Brock Lesnar, or GSP. He isn’t living a rockstar lifestyle.

I really hope Zuffa takes care of Jens once fighting is over. He deserves a steady income.

Jens was cursed with self-awareness.

Self-Awareness in this sport is a Gift.

So sad man. It’s really depressing seeing these guys who were pioneers and legends of the sport barely making it day to day becuase they are so broke. Maybe somebody will help Jens fund his gym.

Especially when you see how some of the people that got rich off them are living…

Jens Pulver is such an inspiration. It’s refreshing to see someone so brutally honest about themselves and what they do.

That guy is one class act!

P4P the most classy guy in the sport…..imo

His fighting career is about done but the sport doesn’t need to loose this guy. Zuffa really needs to keep him around.

I was in Ohio

at his possible last fight. He’s such a class act. This documentary looks really good. I hope he can make some money off of it. Out of all the fighters that i have heard behind the mic Jens is the best. I hope to God they use him as a commentator for the WEC. He’s very good at it.

Thanks for all the memories Jens. Thanks for your honesty and we all wish you the best.

Shut up, Tito.

I wish him all the best. God bless you Jens.

I would love to see Jens doing the commentary for the WEC and for him to get one of those UFC gyms. If someone deserves a hand from Zuffa, this is the guy.
Looking forward to the documentary.
