Jens Pulver Vs Vítor Ribeiro
These two men were some of the best 155 lb fighters on the planet in the early 2000s. Let's say instead of leaving the UFC to fight in other American promotions let's say Lil' Evil goes to Japan and fights Shaolin Vítor Ribeiro. lineal UFC champ vs The Shooto champ who do you think wins this bout?
I honestly think Jens takes this fight because of his defensive wrestling ability and his Superior boxing technique Jens had mad skill especially in his boxing at the time. But if Vitor can and get it down to the ground Jens is completely screwed. That being said Jens did show his ability to get back on his feet in his fight against BJ Penn who at the time was a Jiu-Jitsu specialist. So maybe I'm under estimating his ability in that department. Either way this is a fight that should have happened but never did. Who do you think comes out on top?
