“I’m back,” Faber said. “After the way my last couple fights went, I wanted to go in against a guy like Jens and get the finish. I want to get my belt back.”
Faber (22-2) didn’t take long to find an opening, as he hit Pulver with a wicked left hand to the liver that sent him searching for an escape. Faber dropped Pulver with a knee along the fence and quickly maneuvered him into position for the submission.
“I’ll tell you what, after getting hit like that, I want to apologize to anyone I’ve ever hit
with a body shot in the past 11 years,” Pulver joked after the fight.
