Jens Pulver epitomizes the “hard working everyman” that lives check to check but drives on to support his family. Even in his loss the crowd went crazy for him at WEC47, he jumped up on each side of the cage and the crowd went wild. He is everyone of us that do what we do because we are men and that’s what men do to take care of their responsibilities and be able to hold their head up.
Based on his salary at WEC47, the respect of fans and peers are the bonus that his career has given him, not the riches and fame that some others have gotten.
people like him are what the next generation of humans need to understand and use as examples so hardwork and loyalty don’t fade away in our society.
I hope there is always a place somewhere in this sport for the people like Jens, we owe them that much.
this was a post i wrote for sunday junkie after watching WEC live in Columbus.
