He was cool about the whole thing. The whole team was cool to Joe after and Jens made no excuses at all. Said something after about being as prepared as he could be going in, and just got beat. Very good to hear guys react like that to a loss.
That interveiw was fucking awesome, I dont even care about the loss. It happens, its MMA. But that interveiw was all class and showed what kind of heart Jens really has. He is the fucking man
Jens is the man. He couldnt have taken the loss any beter, or given me any more credit. We were talked after a few times, and he couldnt be any cooler of a guy.
He got an interview for the same reason that Forrest did against Tito and the same reason that Bonnar did against Forrest; Fan Favorites. You give the people what they want to make them happy with your product.
There goes Jens being the coach on the next TUF, maybe he will be a contestant if the rumors about the season are true.
Jens is great and a great fighter.He did have the best post fight interview I have ever seen.He said shit happens and he would do whatever for the fans and would not let this loss stop him.How can people not l;ike Lil' Evil or show him much desreved respect.
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who helped me get ready for this fight. Everyone at RSD/Team Aggression, South Shore Sportfighting, Bishops' Boxing and everyone else that at one time or another along the way has taken the time to show me something or help me out. I really do appreciate all of you. It was more than just me in there, it was a team effort... we were all in there.
I want to thank my sponsors... Sprawl, MMA.tv, Xyience, Bullshido, NAGA and Deathwish Inc.
I would also like to thank the UFC, Dana White, Greg, Donna, Sean, Beth and everyone else.
Here are my thoughts on the whole experience and the fight itself. Seems like I have repeated this about 1000 times now, hah...
