I have always like Jens but his age is hurting him. At HW where the talent isnt as athletic you can get by when you are older as the fighters are not as fast and able to be effective at all styles and in all positions. In smaller class' if you get older and slower it gets exposed very early. Jens dont have the chin to take on strikers and he is now to slow to make people miss. I thought his TD defense was still good enought to keep Javier standing but even his sprawl and scrambling have slowed too. He just cant hand with younger fighters. Agree.

That dude is gonna get killed in the ring soon, he just takes total ass whoopings anymore, he mad $14,000? If he needs the money that bad he's got problems. Make a Garcia-Pulver rematch and maybe Garcia can just kill him this time, since he came close last match. Please stop booking Jens. It’s time the stop giving Jens Pulver fights.

I told my friends i felt both would get beat (bowles and torres). I will give you the reasons why. First the easy one. Bowles. He is new to top compeittion and in almost everyone one of his fights he is losing or looking bad and pulls out the win. But he is sloppy and has no defense. You can only swing wild and leave your hands down so many times. He was even rocked by Torres when he pulled off the finish. Having the belt dont make you imune to losing. Torres is a great fighter and i like him. BUt like everyone in MMA he has a weakness and his physical build only allows him to be good at curtain things. Torres become a legend of a division that had no appeal, noone wanting to compete in it, and no money to be made in it. Now that WEC has come along they give 135 structure and a stage to perform on whch bring fame and money but also top fighters interested and all under one roof. Torres isnt scraping grass root events looking for fights. He also isnt getting perfect style fightd either. Torres has never proved himself verses a wrestler stylist who can stop subs. Torres isnt build to stop Tds and if he cant pull of the sub he is in trouble. His only chance was is Joseph choose to stand with him and Torres picked him apart. I was not suprised at all.

Faber can win, but he can't be going in as the favorite. I was not that impressed with his last fight and found him a bit sloppy. The loss by Torres was a huge surprise for me.
