Jens Pulver (22-9-1) who lost for first time in his career at featherweight to Champion Urijah Faber back in June at WEC 34 will look to get back on the winning side of things and climb up the ladder for another Featherweight title shot as he will be taking on Leonard Garcia (11-3) in September for WEC 36 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The fight would add to an already good card with Urijah Faber defending the Featherweight Championship against ATT standout Mike Brown and Middleweight Champion Paulo Filho will be looking to retain his title in a rematch with Chael Sonnen. Garcia who was in trouble with the law was cleared of all charges and recently said in an interview with MMAjunkie.com that he hung out with the wrong person for three years and paid for the consequences. Garcia says he will choose his friends much more carefully now. The fight was agreed on by Garcia and it could be finalized by next week at the earliest.
