I love your fights they are always exciting, win lose or draw, in the end you will be remembered as one of the legends that brought this sport to the platform it is on today. Whatever you do in your career in or out of the cage I just want you to know you have much love and support from South Florida. We love you down here and keep doing what you do and being who you are. Peace and Love Korey Jens,

You're a hell of a fighter and you've always seemed really friendly and upbeat. Stay that way! :) Hey, do you still play your Night Elf Rogue? ;) Hey Lilevil, you’ve got nothing to apologize for or be embarrassed by.

The Chip on my shoulder has been removed and the stories and joy I have from this sport is all that remains. I love the fans like no other and I am taking this pause to go find what it takes to fight people with nothing more than competition in my heart. I hope that makes sense....... That is so good to hear. This is proof positive of your mind set changing for the better. You have so many positive things to fight for NOW. You have fought through the ugliness of the past and are now a stronger MAN, HUSBAND, and FATHER because of it. You continue to inspire me, thank you.

I mean, I'm not exactly the biggest guy in the world, and I haven't stopped growing, so maybe I'll fill out to a heavier weight class. For me though, at the time, it was just an amazing experience watching you fight. I mean from another not so large person, it's great looking at the screen and saying "Look at that little guy kick ass!". Win, lose, or draw, Lil' Evil always has a fan right here. A class act, and a true warrior. Whatever this "pause" does for you, and whatever direction it sends you in, I have no doubt that you'll find success wherever you may go. I speak for many people when I say, WAR PULVER! -Darryn Jens, I’m still a teenager, 14, trying to make myself in the sport but you were one of the first fighters I remember seeing many years ago, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one to say that you were a huge inspiration to me.

Seeing your last fight, if anything was to be learned from it was this: The competitive edge of one man vs another is at times arbitrary, but the heart for competition and the subsequent glory for inspiring a whole generation of fighters and fandom is something that will lay in the palm of your fist forever. You my friend are a hero. Hey Jens,

You were a true pioneer & carried yourself in a way that legitimizes the sport of MMA. Your character inside & outside the cage has made you one of a kind & a true legend. Seeing your reaction to the your loss really touched me. It please me greatly to hear that you are not done yet...can't wait to see the next chapter of your career. Take care! Jens,

Grispi seems like a nice kid and he just caught Jens.
