LAS VEGAS – Jens Pulver finally saw a dream come true this past Thursday.
The former UFC lightweight champion, one of the sport’s pioneers, was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. The ceremony was part of International Fight Week ahead of UFC 290 in Las Vegas.
A pioneer of the lighter weight classes, Pulver was the first lightweight (then called bantamweight) champion in the promotion’s history when he defeated Caol Uno by unanimous decision at UFC 30.
