considering he is a great striker

Don't really know enough about the guy but I was surprised when he got beat so fast. But hey anything can happen in the UFC right. I don't get how they can call him the only reall light weight champion but Florian holds the belt. Shouldn't the guy who beat Jens be the champ now. seeing as he was the last one tohold it and no one beat him for it

He should of put forth some form offense, I dont think he expected this guy who was supposed to be a push over to be so aggressive, hell no one saw that coming, anyone who bet on him made a fortune!
And Jens walked away from the belt vacating it, and wasnt BJ Penn both the lightweight and welterweight champ before he signed onto K1? Anyhow Kenny Florian is fighting Sean Sherk for the vacant lightweight title during UFC 64 and I expert this to be the most exciting weight divison in the near future

I think because Jens was such an overwhelming favourite he expected Joe to be more tentative from the start, he obviously planned to take a minute or two to reaccustom himself to the octagon. J-Lau wasn't about to wait and see what Pulvers game plan was and caught him with a beautiful KO punch.
I think Jens will be back stronger and better for it, this 155lb weight division is going to be amazing, lots and lots of talented LW's in the UFC.

Yup. I can believe he lost because of ring rust. He's been fighting in Japan until last year, and beat a guy in the International Fight League (IFL) but he hasn't been in the octagon for a while. He is going to make a comeback and by the end of next year he's gonna be a champ.
I give credit to Joe Lauzon for beating Jens Pulver, but Jens is going to be champ soon.
