Really a great interview, love that him and Penn buried the hatchet so to speak and am really looking forward to next Wed. to watch him fight Cub...I haven't seen or don't remember seeing any Cub fights so it should be good esp. if he is slacking off in training for the fight, Pulver sounds hungry which is gonna spell disaster for someone.

Jens Pulver: Very much so. I’m absolutely looking forward to fighting Cub. Cub says he found my weakness and he only needs to train a little bit a day so I’m looking forward to finding out what he thinks my weakness is. I’m really excited to see how he comes at me. I hope he comes in straight on like he has fought everybody else, unchecked and untested. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to fight and I can’t wait to see what happens.

MMANews.com: Is there any animosity left between you and BJ?
Jens Pulver: You know, there was a time there for a while where I thought that, maybe we are just supposed to be rivals and maybe we are just supposed to hate each other, but for the first time since the fight we got to hang out at the last UFC. It’s what I needed because it was really cool just to sit back and talk to him for a minute. We never had that opportunity and it was cool because he came up to me and said, “You still looking to come out and train?” and I was like “Absolutely.” I was just thinking we were supposed to hate each other because I hadn’t heard from him and he hadn’t heard from me and I was just thinking “To hell with ya, we’re just supposed to be rivals.” It was cool to just sit down and talk to him for a minute; we smiled and took a deep breath and I wished him well on his fight coming up and he said he would train with me if I still wanted to come out. I told him I still want to do it and it was cool to know the option was still out there and that after this fight he can expect me to come out there. I want to learn from him. The animosity is gone ��" well maybe there is a white flag up and I hope nobody does anything that could mess it up because I think it could be one word away from us going back at it [laughs]. It’s cool where it’s at now. We both have other things to worry about. I’m looking to do big things at 145lbs and he is chasing after that 155lbs title that has eluded him. I guess we just have other things. We’re 1-1 now and he got what he needed beating me and I had what I always needed beating him when I was the champ.
