Jens “Little Evil” Pulver

Last Fight: Loss vs. Brian Davidson by Submission at TFC 18
Next Fight: To Be Determined

Bio: When looking back on the most influential pioneers in MMA history, one fighter that must be included is Jens “Lil’ Evil” Pulver.

Back when Pulver became the first ever UFC lightweight champion in 2001, he did so at a time when no one believed that lightweights could successfully headline a card like their heavier counterparts. But with his explosive boxing and tenacious drive, Pulver not only became the first champion at 155 lbs, but became a fan favorite and opened the door for lightweight fighters everywhere.

Given his heavy hands, Pulver often faced opponents eager to get him to the ground and avoid exchanges. Pulver countered by employing good defensive wrestling, fighting in much the same “sprawl and brawl” style as UFC Hall-of-Famer Chuck Liddell.

With over a decade of experience to his credit, you can believe that Pulver has compiled a wealth of fight knowledge, and his pro training modules on TapouTVTC.com cover all the bases. Whether you want to improve your striking, dirty boxing, takedowns, or submissions, Pulver has something for you. Pulver even takes you into his personal life in the TapiN feature below:

Most importantly, Pulver and his training partners have a video discussing the necessity of mental conditioning and focus, invaluable information for aspiring fighters. Pulver also will teach you how to chain your striking into the clinch and wrestling game, so you can close the gap without getting tagged and wear your opponent out against the cage.
