    Wow, looks great.

    I've always like Jens. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is a guy who is genuinely in it for the love of the game.

    looking forward to this now.

    At War On The Mailand Bas eluded to the fact Jens has virtually no ground game, he spoke about how after his loss to Ken Shamrock he spent a year in Brazil learning BJJ.. He said Jens should do that. I'd wholeheartedly agree with that, I'd love to see Jens with a decent ground game, he'd be back in the UFC then imo..

    You really think so???? I see him as being completely finished as a fighter and ha has been for a while now. It's just his popularity with the fans that's keeping in the spotlight, it's certainly not his fighting. He should bow out gracefully in my opinion, there is nothing worse than when a fighter doesn't know when to quit.

    He doesn't have a glass jaw, he still has great hands and footwork, all he's missing is a ground game and I think he'll be back..

    Jens isn't going to be winning against any semi-decent competition anytime soon. I'd like to see him give it up, he's well past it now and it's no fun watching him.

    I've always liked Jens as a fighter and am really looking forward to the movie.

    I don't think he's ever going to reach top level competition again but his movie should be a great watch.

    I am scared though that he will end up like Mickey Rourke's character in 'The Wrestler', always looking for that last swansong and fighting in dumpsville in front of 50 people. :(:(

    id like to see him fight a low rank fighter, get a win to boost his motivation and see how he gets on from there, it saddens me to see his previous outings:(
