#UFC333 Watch Along w/ UFC Hall of Famer Jens Pulver

A viewer's rules question sends Jens Pulver straight to the replay. Watching Grant Dawson against Nurullo Aliev, the former champion has little patience for holding back on point deductions for strikes to the back of the head.

"They don't take points fast enough. I've already said this," Pulver says during "#UFC333 Watch Along w/ UFC Hall of Famer Jens Pulver" on UFC FIGHT PASS.

His reasoning is specific: Dawson is not moving side to side in the sequence under review, and Pulver says Aliev's shots land straight to the back of his head. After pulling up the footage, he backs the referee's deduction rather than treating it as an excessive intervention.

The watch-along reached about 76,000 views in its first six hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for longer uploads. This is Pulver hosting, reviewing clips and answering live viewers, rather than a full-fight broadcast.

That gives the stream a different character from the channel's standalone finishes compilations. Pulver moves from preliminary-bout results and officiating to Kody Steele's knockout win, greeting that replay with an enthusiastic shout of Steele's name.

For all his certainty about the point deduction, though, Pulver draws a firm line at doing the job himself: he says he would never referee.
