About Jens Pulver:
At the age of thirty-two, Jens Pulver, world-class athlete and the Ultimate Fighting Championship's first lightweight champion in Mixed Martial Arts, has seen and experienced more than most people will in an entire lifetime. He has overcome horrendous abuse and unimaginable odds, and continues to inspire everyone who is fortunate enough to learn about his life.

Little did Jens know, when he stumbled upon a few brothers in the back room of a sweaty gym, that his life would take on new direction. Burdens would lift, friendships galvanize, and his spirit be reborn. Thoughtfully, methodically, and deliberately, he and his brothers would set out to change the world.

No matter what the future holds, Jens Pulver is equipped for the battle thanks to his faith in God and his brothers in Christ. Chronicled in Never, his inspirational journey proves that anything is possible and no goal is impossible to achieve.

This is not simply a story about Jens Pulver. It is more. It is about his presence and influence in my life and the lives of many others. Whether you know him personally or only through the upcoming pages, you will never be the same. This is a tale of inspiration and a group of men with a desire to change the world.

This story is about all of us who drive for excellence, desire to be more, refuse to give up, yearn to be inspired, give of ourselves, strive for bravery, are determined to take power over our lives-everyone who has overcome adversity, everyone who wants to be relevant and necessary.
