It's been two months, but The MMA Hour is finally back, and it's better than ever. Behold episode 31 of the show in our new studio in New York City. On this edition, we talk to Jens Pulver, who lost to Javier Vazquez at WEC 47 last weekend, about his fighting future and whether he believes it's time for him to makes the transition over to broadcasting.Later, we spoke to Miesha Tate, who will face Zoila Frausto at Strikeforce Challengers VII on March 26. Tate discussed why she dislikes Frausto, Sarah Kaufman's recent title victory and whether women's MMA needs Gina Carano to continue her fighting career in order to grow. Enjoy the show below.
Note: On Monday, March 15, The MMA Hour will be presented live on MMAFighting.com beginning at 3PM ET.

Finally..I've been waiting on an MMA Hour!
Ariel, please hook me up with some tickets to your show/studio. Willing to donate $$ for the tickets.
yo jens you can do it,just need a win to get over the mental part of all these losses.id liker 2 see u when the next eight in a row and get you confidence back.80% mental,u still got it.ohio is with u lil evil.
WIN the next eight in a row...
as soon as i seen Vazquez take his shirt off and those arms I knew Id be seeing Pulver retire again. It part of the fun of watching his fights. half enertainment half down right pitiful. You better buy Jens some lotto tickets "stay focused", that will be his best shot at winning 8 in a row. whats funny is that he even has a choice to retire or not. The wec is the minor leagues at best and Jens cant even get out the 1st round. they never last long enough to show any heart or willingness to fight a losing battle. Hes been clearly out match by everybody he fights. no matter tho, put him on a decent card and Ill watch him retire again "for free ofcorse" even funnier is that the wec is banking on ppv, I quess were supposed to forget Faber couldnt beat the guy "twice!" that got walked over by the current champ whats his name. rankings based on popularity is a joke. When faber loses, then what ? Bad move wec. ufc wont counter program this show but any other promotion would be crazy not to put up a free show at the same time. If not we'll be watch'n something else anyway. I could be wrong, maybe Im the only person who doesnt have $45 to throw away
poe maybe you should get your facts straight. the ufc owns the wec, so why would they compete with themselves. they are one and the same. one just caters to lighter weights. Maybe you should watch some of Jens' earlier fights. when he was a 5 time champ or when he fought in shooto. so before you decide to talk sh** you should look into the facts
jens is washed up. how many times does this guy need to get his ass kicked before he is cut? he is embarrassing himself.
Jens Pulver was good fighter in his time. Just like Tyson or Ali your body can only handle so much punishment before it starts to fail. I know its two totally diferent sports but its the same point. Get in there and beat the hell out each other. Jens proved his fighting skills when he fought Faber he was only guy to push Faber the distance. Jens also stands up and fights anyone. Win or Lose hes got heart and pride.
I love WEC!

I read an article on mmarisingDOTcom reporting that Erin Toughill, who was set to fight featherweight Womens Champion, Cyborg Santos, was leaving Strike Force because "she could no longer subject herself to ongoing issues with the promotion."
Considering the featherweight division isn't relatively stacked as the bantam weight division i hope it doesn't affect future plans for Strike Force and Cristiane Santos. I'm a fan and enjoy watching her fight - among other female MMA fighters.
