"The arm is ok. It popped a couple times but it was fast man. He snapped that thing on quick. That's what I get for going for that third kick and missing. I don't know what happened after that. We kinda rolled around, and I remember thinking to myself, 'Damn man, I got to get this grappling down at some point.' It was just one of those things. It jacked it up pretty good and I was stuck. I can't even begin to explain the road I'm sitting on. It's kind of bitter sweet. I love this sport and it's tough man. It's hard to go out like this (tears up). I'm just a proud old man. I'm a proud papa I guess. I'm the Godfather of this stuff, and you know, it's at a good place and a good way to go. To see these guys get the opportunity, and to see the 135-ers coming up the way that they are, to see the fans get behind it, enjoy it, and embrace it, means a lot to me. When we started this they took a risk in the 155-pound division and gave it a shot. TV came along and it kept growing. WEC is the place. People always ask me, 'When are you going back to the UFC?'. I am. I'm in the WEC. It's the same. This is the home for the little guys. As long as they keep the 135 and 145 that's where I want to be. That's the place I want to push, and those are the guys I want to get behind. I enjoy watching every single one of them fight."
Jens Pulver discusses his status after dropping his fifth consecutive WEC fight at WEC 47 to Javier Vazquez. Although "Lil Evil" didn't get to land his patented big left hand, we did see a little more patience from the 35-year-old legend.
Pulver came out and showing decent stand-up, and throwing multiple leg kicks. But, a botched third leg kick proved to be the beginning of the end, as Vazquez capitalized on the miss and took Pulver to the ground eventually slapping on a fight-ending armbar.
It is unclear whether or not Pulver plans to retire, but regardless of his decision, the former UFC light-heavyweight champions' legacy in the sport is secure.
