Former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver is still fighting on the indy circuit, competing next at XFO 38 on Friday. Pulver is on a disheartening six-fight losing streak and has lost eight of his last nine bouts. He wants to go out with a win. He has a chance to win and get out vs. unknown fighter Mike Lindquist in Woodstock IL. I just don't want to see him get hurt or go Larry Holmes on us... http://www.mmamania.com/stories/5
Re: Jens Pulver will keep giving it one more try until he wins I love Jens but he is going to lose and he needs to just hang it up and train people. Going out fighting a no name is worse than a 6 fight losing streak. He did fight some pretty game dudes in his losing streak. Faber twice, Josh Grispi, Javier Vazquez... those are some pretty big names for old lil evil.

Re: Jens Pulver will keep giving it one more try until he wins http://mmajunkie.com/news/22193/for...snaps-losing-streak-wins-xfo-38-headliner.mma Jens Pulver snapped a six-fight losing streak and picked up his first victory since 2007 with a win in the headliner of Saturday's XFO 38 event. Pulver (23-14-1) scored a quick, 49-second rear-naked choke victory over area fighter and one-time WEC competitor Mike Lindquist (6-20). The event took place at Woodstock Harley Davidson in Woodstock, Ill., and streamed online. Pulver previously hinted at retirement following a WEC 41 loss to Josh Grispi and again following a defeat to Javier Vazquez at WEC 47. But Pulver, an early UFC champion and former PRIDE competitor, decided to continue fighting after his WEC release. In August, he suffered a submission loss to Diego Garijo at a regional event in California. It was his fourth consecutive submission defeat, his sixth straight loss overall, and it dropped him to 1-8 going back to an upset to Joe Lauzon at UFC 63 in 2006. But Pulver, a fan favorite who trained with Jeff Curran's Illinois-based team ahead of the fight, got back in the win column on Saturday. He survived an early barrage of punches and subsequent facial cut, took a dominant position when on the mat, and scored the fight-ending rear-naked choke just 49 seconds into the main event. After the fight, the 36-year-old Pulver said he plans to fight again. Up next is a scheduled March 5 headliner with the upstart Chicago Cagefighting Championship promotion.
