Pulver Talks about TUF and Hating BJ Penn

[Clint]

Hey guys we just finished up an interview with Jens Pulver about the upcoming season of TUF and his hatred towards BJ Penn. Sounds like it should be an interesting season to say the least:
http://www.mmanews.com/ufc/Exclusive:-Pulver-On-Hatred-For-BJ-TUF-5-Incident-%5BPt.-1%5D.html

EDIT: Note Pulver does talk about things that happen in the first episode. If you don't want to know about them then be warned (there are no fight spoilers though).

[short bus]

Luis Cruz of MMANews.com: This is Luis Cruz and MMANews.com and I'm joined by one of the coaches of this season of The Ultimate Fighter, which is season five. He's the former UFC Lightweight champion, Jens Pulver. Jens, first of all thanks for taking the time to talk with us. How have you been?

Jens Pulver: Hey, I've been good and it's no problem. I've been good man, just admiring life. I'm real good. Right now I'm out here with Robbie Lawler and Matt Pena. Things have been great, things have been great. I'm just kind of waiting for the show to start [I'm a] little anxious, but I've been getting geared up and ready to fight pretty much since I got off the show. Everything's been alright.

MMANews.com: How's Robbie doing?

Jens Pulver: Good, good. He's grouchy ya know because he's losing his weight, but no Robbie Lawler's doing good. Real good. He's geared up - looking to fight. It's gonna be a fun little ordeal.

MMANews.com: Right. That fight is Saturday. Just wanted to remind everyone because that slipped my mind. It's this Saturday, March 31st on ProElite.com.

Jens Pulver: Yeah, it's gonna be a crazy fight. I'm expecting some fireworks. I think if we have our way, we get [Frank] Trigg out before he gets that takedown. We wanna put him in trouble right off the bat and use Robbie's power and his hand-speed to make him move backwards. It's gonna be fun.

MMANews.com: Should be a great fight. Alright before we get to The Ultimate Fighter - what are your thoughts on the current Lightweight champion, Sean Sherk?

Jens Pulver: Oh he's tough. I think he's one of those guys who's got a Matt Hughes kind of thing going for him as far as he's gonna be real tough to stop from ...you know he's gonna take you down. It's gonna be real hard to move once he's on top of you doing that ground and pound. He comes in shape and you're just gonna have to be in twice as good of shape to deal with all that wrestling, just to keep him off of you. I think if you wanna get your shots off in the stand-up, you're gonna have to wear him out like [Georges] St. Pierre did to him. St. Pierre made it impossible to take him down and then he started getting lit up. But at 155 [pounds] he's tough. He's tough, he's real tough. I mean more power to him, the bullseye is on him. He's got everybody gunning for him. A lot of people are getting ready to step up and fight him.

MMANews.com: Now I believe his rumored opponent is Hermes Franca, who's supposedly gonna fight him at UFC 72 on July 7th. What do you think of that match-up?

Jens Pulver: I think it's gonna be a good fight. I think Hermes Franca is a strong guy, he likes to throw bombs and he doesn't mind being on the ground, but again it's gonna come down to the same kind of thing - can he move underneath Sean Sherk? Can he move when Sean Sherk is in his guard trying to ground and pound? Can he move Sherk? If he can, Hermes is gonna give him a lot of trouble. If he can get himself in that kind of shape to do all the moving he's gonna have to be doing to keep the fight going. You just can't let Sean Sherk sit on you. That's all there is to it. So it's gonna be a tough fight but I like that one for Hermes. The guy has a big right hand, he throws it with just extreme abandon. I think it's a good fight, I think Hermes is a good opponent and a real good test. Absolutely.

MMANews.com: Did you say you think he's going to win this fight? Who are you picking?

Jens Pulver: Oh, I don't pick [laughs]. I'm just gonna sit back and watch it. I'll be happy for Sean if he defends it. I'll be happy for Hermes if he wins it because he's earned it. He's earned it more than anybody else. I'll be really happy for him if he does pull off that victory, but for me? Hey, as long as the 155 pounders get on the events and have a great fight - that's all I care about.

MMANews.com: What other fighters in the division have you been keeping a close eye on?

Jens Pulver: Me? Nobody.

MMANews.com: Really?

Jens Pulver: Don't watch any of them. Hey, I don't care.

MMANews.com: [laughs]

Jens Pulver: No. I watched that fight with Tyson Griffin and Frank Edgar or whatever. He's good. That's a well-rounded fighter right there. That guy's one of them. He's tough. I just got done watching some of the most talented 155 pound fighters I've ever seen in the reality show. So I'm gonna be watching them as a fan, for sure, for years to come. Other than that I just watch whoever. If they fight, they fight. I haven't been watching just the 155 pound fighters. I care about the weight-class but as far as am I watching everybody because I might have to fight one of them, or am I watching someone because I'm looking to size them up? Nah, I don't care. I just want to see 155 pounders fight, that's it.

MMANews.com: Before your season premieres on Spike, that night there will be an Ultimate Fight Night show. There's two top Lightweights on there as the main-event, Joe Stevenson and Melvin Guillard.

Jens Pulver: Yeah, that's gonna be a sick fight. The agility and explosiveness of Melvin Guillard, if he can throw some stand-up before Joe Stevenson gets his hands on him and takes him down. That's gonna be the, you know, that's gonna be the game right there. Joe is a little more plodding, but when he gets on top of you he opens up and gets the wrestling involved. Good positions and strikes. So Melvin could have some problems on the ground, but getting there - can he hurt you before you get him there? That's gonna be Melvin's thing - his agility and explosiveness. He's quick, just boom - coming at you real fast. I'm excited to see what could happen there, for sure.

MMANews.com: Yeah, definitely a great style match-up.

Jens Pulver: Real good.


Catch Jens Pulver as coach of The Ultimate Fighter 5 beginning April 5th on Spike TV...


MMANews.com: Alright, let's go ahead and get into The Ultimate Fighter...

Jens Pulver: ...alright, cool.

MMANews.com: ...with you and B.J. Penn as the coaches this year. We actually bumped into you. Me and a friend at PRIDE 33.

Jens Pulver: Yup, I remember.

MMANews.com: He asked you how the season was going and the only thing you commented was you said you didn't like B.J. before the show, but now you hate the guy. You didn't give any other details than that and we didn't press because you obviously can't talk to in-depth about it. But now there's reports out there, a review of the first episode sent out to the media I believe, saying Penn asked fighters to raise their hands if they wanted to be on his team. Kind of put you on the spot and I guess he was trying to embarass you. Is that pretty accurate of what happened and if so, what was going through your mind?

Jens Pulver: Well. Damn, I don't know how you found out [laughs]

MMANews.com: [laughs]

Jens Pulver: Episode one is nuts. The show is nuts as far as - I thought B.J. Penn was putting me on the spot from the get-go. I felt he always thought my training was a joke, my coaching. He definitely felt my coaching was a joke. If he thought my fighting was weak, you know, he really didn't give two-****s about my coaching. So he definitely tried to put me on the spot and what could I do, you know? Just take the one's that didn't raise their hands, that's about it. That's all I could do. What else was there to be done? I just had to do my thing. Whether or not that happened, I ain't saying. You're just gonna have to watch and see. But, damn.

MMANews.com: [laughs]

Jens Pulver: But I'm saying, from the word go he disrespected my thing as far as being a coach and a fighter, and that's what pissed me off from day one. That's what I didn't like about him and that's what made me mad. I just want to fight him - I'm gonna beat his ass again because of that right there. That's a lack of respect. Yeah, he tried to show me up more than one time. He tries and tries.

MMANews.com: So that was basically what you were talking about when you said you hated him more after the show? He disrespect of your training and the like?

Jens Pulver: Yeah, right there. He put me on the spot to sit there, you know what I'm saying, and try to make me look like a jerk right there and I just had to step up. What was I supposed to do? I'm not gonna sit there and cry. I'm gonna be a big boy about it and move on. This show ain't about me. Obviously someone else misunderstood that when they started. It's about 16 fighters. He can go ahead and do his thing. It'll be on TV. Everyone will see it. You'll see my reaction. And it's a true reaction. I didn't make nothing up for that damn camera, I can tell you that right now. But yeah, that's why I hate him. I hate him for that day right there. He tried to make me look like a joke and tried to make me look stupid every day since.

MMANews.com: Do you truly hate him or is that just your emotions running high?

Jens Pulver: Hey, I hate anyone that don't respect me. I hate anybody that doesn't at least give me the credit that I deserve. Yeah, I don't like him. I don't like him because he don't like me. I'm not gonna lose sleep at night or have any hate posters up, but by the same token yeah I get asked the question, "do I care about B.J. Penn?" No, I hate him. I think he's an idiot and I can't wait to fight him.

why does everyone just link articles

[NY1981]

Should be an interesting season. To be honest, there hasn't been one season since season 1 that I have been happy with. They all have a good episode here and there but that it about it. Season one was just perfect. The personalities, the tempers, the quality of the fighters.

[troyk]

bj penn sounds like a douche

[sympleman]

Thanks Short Bus, I feel the same way. I think he just wants us to visit the site.

[Loot]

Thanks Short Bus, I feel the same way. I think he just wants us to visit the site.

Right....every click counts when money and advertising is involved. If you read the article, give it a mercy click to help out. It takes .1 seconds. I am guilty of pasting articles as well soemtimes, but I try and provide the original link.

I hate having to open up new browsers or tabs just to read an article that I may or may not care about cause no one pasted it, or pasted hihglights form it, or a teaser form it. just my opinion.

[Loot]

I got that. A lot of the time I am on AOL, so it doesnt make any difference if a new window opens up. I just do it because I know that if it was my article/site, I would want to get the hits that I deserve. Just doing my little part, just like when I pick up the MMA book that is advertised on this site, I will click on the link here to Amazon so the site gets a little kick back.

[Shamrocked]

I've always thought Pulver was a cool guy, and Penn was a douche. It looks like the whole world will finally get to see it for themselves.

[moriarty]

Back on topic,

I don't know the guy, but I can easily believe BJ can be a jerk. That said, we'll have to see how this plays out. The Tito/Ken show got such a pop from the rivalry that I wouldn't put it past BJ/Jens to ham it up a bit to make it look worse than it really is. I'm a sucker though, I'll be watching.

BTW: it would be funny if BJ told everyone beforehand to raise their hand on purpose to play a joke on Jens.

That would be funny, but I can see how Jens would be pissed off, especially since he sure did not come off too well in his last fight. He should have countered with pictures of BJ laying in the crucifix getting his face smashed in by Hughes...

I try and give BJ some slack though....I would be a dick too if I was named after fellatio. j/k

[short bus]

it's no gayer than "baby Jay" :lol:

[Loot]

it's no gayer than "baby Jay" :lol:

lol, you edited....I thought for a moment you were actually saying that your last comment was his real name. I thought WTF?

I believe his birth name if Jay Dee Penn, then he was nicknamed baby Jay, then shortened to BJ. Either way I was jut kidding. My friend wa named BJ and I called him blowjob for years.

[cheeto101]

Haha the only question is how many days off does BJ give his team.

I can see it now "Well I only train a couple days before a fight, and I do fine"

[Tony Montana]

**** that. i'd rather just have them pasted. I hate having to open up new browsers or tabs just to read an article that I may or may not care about cause no one pasted it, or pasted hihglights form it, or a teaser form it. just my opinion.

keep in mind that these journalists do a shi& load of work for nothing, or next to nothing.

Regarding TUF 5 - I'm now pretty interested in watching episode 1, that's for sure. I think BJ's "raise your hand" move is pretty hilarious. Ya, it may make him look like a big dic&, but I bet you there must have been a lot of guys that raised their hand. Should be interesting.

[moriarty]

Haha the only question is how many days off does BJ give his team.

I can see it now "Well I only train a couple days before a fight, and I do fine"

Word is that he had all the treadmills and cardio equpment removed from the gym on day 1. Of course, that is just a rumor.

;)

[Loot]

If i understood that right, Jens simply chose all of the fighters who did not raise their hands.

It would be funny if all of the fatter guys were the ones who raised thier hands and BJs team has an average of 180lbs.

[azlion]

to be fair I would have raised my hand for Bj too. Even though I think alot of his talent can't be taught like his crazy flexibility.

[NY1981]

to be fair I would have raised my hand for Bj too. Even though I think alot of his talent can't be taught like his crazy flexibility.

Same for me. I just think that he would have more knowledge to offer.

[short bus]

keep in mind that these journalists do a shi& load of work for nothing, or next to nothing.


that's fine. i would just appreciate a tease or a summary so i know if its worth going to

[azlion]

Yea Jens would have a good work ethic from the miletich camp though

[short bus]

Yea Jens would have a good work ethic from the miletich camp thoughI heard his racism is top notch :wink:

[azlion]

LMFAO, well he does train with Timmah.

[Loot]

I heard his racism is top notch :wink:


lol....is this just a general countryboy stereotype, or did I miss some news at some point?

[MMAgame]

why does everyone just link articles

Because people put a lot of effort into getting these interviews and it'd be nice if people visited their site, to return the favor.


You did ask ;)

[wgrapple]

lol....is this just a general countryboy stereotype, or did I miss some news at some point?

Go with your gut loot...Jens doesn't come across as remotely racist...

After seeing BJ high in the back of a friends car acting like the biggest douchebag of all time I really dislike him...

still he will destroy Jens...poor Jens poor little Jensy Jenison

I was asking more about the Miletich camp than about Jens, as the "racism" comment insinuated that Jens would be racist because he trained with Miletich. I just thought I might have missed a piece of MIletich news or something...

[Gomi]

This season may be the most entertaining yet.

[cheeto101]

Hell I want to watch just to see Bj's training regiment.

[cameronb]

lol....is this just a general countryboy stereotype, or did I miss some news at some point?

I think they are refering to the comment Hughes made about one of the black contestants on TUF 4, something to do with big lips.

[Shamrocked]

lol....is this just a general countryboy stereotype, or did I miss some news at some point?Apparently shortbus has never spoken with Pulver. One of the first things you notice is that the guy seems to "admire" African American culture if you catch my drift. As far as insinuating that Pat Miletich runs some kind of racist, redneck boot camp nothing could be further from the truth. Pat is by all accounts one of the friendliest guys in the sport, and the majority of the guys in that camp are cool as can be no matter what color you are. Of course it wouldn't surprise me if Hughes didn't fit that mold though. I don't necessarily think he's racist, just an equal opportunity douche nozzle.

There are a few "brothers" at MFS, but by and large there doesn't seem to be many black fighters in that area and apparently most of the ones who come to town can't hang. That place is notorious for separating the men from the boys regardless of size, color or MMA pedigree.

[frmadig]

sure. I think BJ's "raise your hand" move is pretty hilarious. Ya, it may make him look like a big dic&, but I bet you there must have been a lot of guys that raised their hand. Should be interesting.

I thought it was funny as well. All BJ was trying to do was figure who wanted to train with who, its not his fault every one said they wanted to train with him and not Jens.

[Cbear]

Regarding links vs cutting and pasting things.... As pointed out already, sites benefit when you click on them. If you copy their work and paste it, they get zero benefit and often don't even get the courtesy of being credited for the work. Some sites copywrite their work do not allow you to legally copy their work. In all instances it is better to simply post a link so that the right people get credit.

[Shamrocked]

Yea Jens would have a good work ethic from the miletich camp thoughDefinitely. B.J. may have more natural ability, but I'd much rather train with Pulver. Of course I have no idea, but I'd be really surprised if Penn's guy's have the conditioning to outwork Pulver's guys this season.

[ilostmydog]

Definitely. B.J. may have more natural ability, but I'd much rather train with Pulver. Of course I have no idea, but I'd be really surprised if Penn's guy's have the conditioning to outwork Pulver's guys this season.

Maybe one of Pulver's students can teach him that MMA isn't boxing, meaning that you can use kicks and knees instead of just punches. :)

[GeoffWorldOrder]

Hell I want to watch just to see Bj's training regiment.

Wake up at around noon.
Play some games on the xbox.
Smoke a bowl.
Go surfing.
Punch the heavy bag a few times.
Smoke another bowl.
Eat some dorito's.
Play xbox again.
Sleep.

Unfortunately Joe Lauzon is on BJ's team...so we know one of his guys wins it at all :)

oh god, dont get your panties in a bunch. it was a joke. I cant believe some people trook that seriously.
and yes, it was a jab at the redneck country roots of MFS. I think everyone here knows that Pat and Jens are just about as much of stand up genuine guys as they come.

What actually sucks is that i'm a huge BJ fan, but I know that this season is going to make him look liek a jackass. No matter how much editting they do there is no way to make Jens look worse than BJ.

I am pretty sure there aren't many "brothers" in Iowa to start with. :)

[JamieMCFC]

There aren't many at all. When I went to Cedar Rapids I didn't see any. I stuck out like a sore thumb at a hockey game. :lol:

lol. Up until high school I was pretty much the only white kid where I grew up. I remember going to a high school basketball game with my friends, and the game was between the two biggest predominantly African American high schools in town. 10,000 fans were there (state playoffs). I was the only white person in the building who wasn't wearing a police uniform. My friends and I still chuckle about it.

Not to derail the thread but I can beat that one. I once attended a big wedding at a black church. My wife and I were the only white people there and I got my share of looks. What made it even funnier is I was the Best Man. :)

I don't know if I can top that one, but I can relate somewhat. I went to a funeral and was the only white person there (my wife is a minority too). Then when we went to the grave site, everybody was singing for hours. I'd never heard any of the songs before (although I quite enjoyed them) and was the only person not singing along. I couldn't help but get that feeling of "what's he doing here?"

[cameronb]

^^^^^^^^ Welcome to the hip hop industry guys. However I do think it helps my music as far as people finding out I am white and not believing it. However with Eminem and Scott Storch the sterotype is starting fade.

While we are on the subject I just wanted to say that that damn White Rapper show is a piece of **** and the makers should be shot. Since when was MC Serch a Hip Hop Icon, he was in the group 3rd Base for Christ's sake.

lol.....growing up Catholic, I once went with my friend and his family to a Southern Baptist Church. There were tons more people there, and I was the only white one. It was also 90 degrees, and I was severely underdressed (I was business casual). We were there for four hours, and the services were so much more lively. Looking back, it fit every stereotype I can think of, but when I was 11 or 12 I did not understand that....(and sorry to derail the thread. I have trouble staying on topic lately)

[DriveBy73]

Only white rapper worth a **** BESIDES CameronB that is =P is Diabolic!!

Back on topic I am actually looking forward to this season, anyone know when it starts and finishes? I am hoping before my son goes back to school cause his bedtime/our reading time conflicts with the show and last season I missed a bunch cause of HIM hahahaha j/k I love our reading time. Anyway I hope Jens team wins just cause he seems like a cool/goofy guy =]

Slug is far greater than both

[Shamrocked]

oh god, dont get your panties in a bunch. it was a joke. I cant believe some people trook that seriously.
and yes, it was a jab at the redneck country roots of MFS. I think everyone here knows that Pat and Jens are just about as much of stand up genuine guys as they come.It didn't bother me a bit. I actually thought it was funny, since Jens gives off a ghetto vibe in person.:wink:

[Dgilbert]

Slug is far greater than both
I don't get the fanfare that Slug has in the underground scene, personnally I'm just not feeling his stuff. Now his label mate Brother Ali(I know he's not white) is the best rapper nobody knows, Shadows of the Sun is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever, too bad hardly anyone has heard it.

[D241]

wow, sounds like at least the first episode will be good. i wish they had talked about lauzon in the interview, see what his (pulver) thoughts are in perhaps coaching or being in the presence of a fighter who beat him.

i'm on the wall so far. i think penn is the better fighter, jens of course has knockout power, but i'll be interested to see what my opinion will be.

either think penn is the better fighter and acts the way b/c he knows it, or think that penn is too full of himself and doesn't give respect when it's due.

[short bus]

It didn't bother me a bit. I actually thought it was funny, since Jens gives off a ghetto vibe in person.:wink:Cool, I thought i struck a nerve with your hometown. :lol:

Jens seriously gives off a ghetto persona in person? :lol: that's hillarious. I guess I can see it cause he talks with that southern drawl with a ghetto twist. Dude's a trip. Gotta love him.

[cameronb]

He also wears the hats and baggy pants.

Jens pulver plays MMOrpg's like World of Warcraft. Thugs and Cowboys don't play Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games.
