In the least surprising news of the week, former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver will move to the WEC and fight at featherweight. This is no surprise to anyone who watched Jens get beaten by BJ Penn. This is a good move for Jens, the WEC and the featherweight division in general. Jens first fight will be against Cub Swanson at WEC 30 on September 5th. I for one hope that Jens makes a run at the WEC featherweight title. That title is currently held by the highly regarded Urijah Faber.
Jens was finding it hard to compete with the new breed of super 155ers in the UFC. Guys who walk around at 175 lbs and cut to 155 to fight. Sean Sherk is the classic example of this.
