Vazquez: Takedown 'Mandatory' in Pulver Bout

Mar 06, 2010
Javier Vazquez is hoping a new camp and key takedowns will deliver him the victory in his featherweight bout against former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver this Saturday at WEC 47 in Columbus, Ohio.

The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, who's been on the losing end of two split decision nods in the promotion, will hunt for the finish on the mat against Pulver, known for his potent left hand. "Showtime" talks strategy and what it will take to get his first win inside the WEC.

Vazquez also touches on his preparation since leaving Millenia Fight Team to work with Erik Paulson.
