Las Vegas, Day 2
We're currently getting ready to watch The Ultimate Fighter finale, which takes place this weekend. As mentioedn, day one was spent checking out the gyms and interviewing fighters.Today was much of the same except for one thing - today we met up with Jens Pulver.
Jens is fighting on the main event of Saturday night against his rival (some say nemesis?) BJ Penn.
Jens is in good spirits and can't wait for the fight to get going - he admitted he loves the attention he gets from fans and the like, but celebrity comes at a price - he doesn't think much of the poster in his hotel elevator!
The rumours going around are that BJ looks like the BJ of old... He's said to be walking around at 158, and has actually worked with a nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach for this fight. Jens' reaction? "Apparently he's like the old BJ, which is great, because that was the one I beat!"
