Damn maybe i gotta order verses..

Reports are now arising that Jens Pulver, one of the coaches on The Ultimate Fighter Season 5, will move to the featherweight division of the WEC after his fight against B.J. Penn this month. Earlier today on the Savage Dog Show on Sherdog.com Radio, Monte Cox reported that Jens will make the move down to the 145lb weightclass in the WEC and most likely fight Urijah Faber down the road.

Jens Pulver and B.J. Penn will fight at the TUF 5 finale on June 23. This fight will be a rematch of their UFC Lightweight title fight at UFC 35 in 2002, where Pulver defeated Penn by majority decision. Up until the point Sean Sherk won the UFC lightweight title earlier this year, Jens Pulver had been the only man to hold the UFC 155lb title, as the division was disbanded in 2002 shortly after Pulver won the title.

If the move to the WEC is true, I think it is a good move for Jens and he will be able to fight at a more natural weight. How much pressure will he be able to put on Urijah Faber? Only time will tell, but if they do fight, it should be an excellent matchup.

its his more natural weight....but hopefully if theres some good fights, and enough fighters at that weight class they may add it to the UFC.
