Jens Pulver

Multiple belts were up for grabs in Columbus, Ohio and Moscow on Saturday and eight welterweights started their pursuit of another in Lemoore, Calif.

A slew of big-show veterans took to the ring in Irvine, Calif. for Powerhouse World Promotion's debut card.

These five bouts set precedents, but time will tell if the MMA audience is willing to pony up for WEC on PPV.

“I love you all way, way, way too much to put you all through this again,” Pulver said. “You guys have made my life a miracle.”

"I damn sure don't care if I win a belt,” he said. “I just want to be competitive and I wanna continue to do it until I walk away."

“I'm gonna win and this will probably be the end of Jens Pulver," says the veteran fighter. " Whether people like it or not, I can give a rats crap."

Wherever he goes, he is introduced as the UFC’s first 155-pound lightweight champion.
