A few nights ago, Jens was streaming some gaming on Twitch and a viewer asked to see his belts. He brought out both his, one being the OG belt with the Ultiman beating on the globe on it. Someone asked him about that belt and he said "it's going home soon" and "you'll find out soon what that means."
Anyone have any ideas? Wonder if that means a HOF induction? Or maybe something do with Matt Hughes and MFS?
He soooo deserves to be in the Hall. Hed be on the Mt. Rushmore of lightweights, and for that matter all the smaller guys. He was dealt a horrible hand in life, and turned it into Aces.
If you’ve never seen Driven, the documentary on him. I highly recommend it.
I've met Jens like 4 times, most recently UFC 226 in Chicago, he was two rows up from me, we had another awesome conversation. Love him for the great fighter and role model he is.

There is no Mt. Rushmore for lightweights. If there was a lightweight statue it would only be of Conor.
I just rewatched him v bj at UFC 35 yesterday. Him and Shamrock need to be inducted. In fact there’s a thread about Jens being inducted that he posted in iirc.
I'm sure he's a nice guy, but to me, he's not Hall of fame material. Only defended the lightweight belt twice. Frankie and Benson both defended it three times, and I don't even think they deserve to be in the HOF.
I hope this is HOF discussion and not some veiled suicide thing. I know Jens has had a rough life and overcome a lot. I don’t mean to put that out into the universe, but it did pop into my head as someone who works in the mental health field. Jens was one of the fighters who got me into MMA. I remember his transition into the WEC when a young Cub Swanson was talking mad shit and he submitted Cub in amazing fashion. That was such a feel good story. Chill just thinking about it.
