Jake Ellenberger: I definitely believe I can beat Georges St. Pierre

Photo via ESPN.com

After a split decision loss to Carlos Condit in his UFC debut back in late 2009, Jake Ellenberger has pretty much had his way with everyone in the 170-pound weight class.

Well, almost everyone.

He's still one or two fights away from staking his claim to the title, but a crushing knockout over top-ranked welterweight Jake Shields at UFC Fight Night 25, two years and one day after setting foot inside the Octagon, has certainly put the rest of the division contenders on notice.

And now he's set his sights on reigning champion Georges St. Pierre (via Tatame TV):

"Styles make fights and I go into each fight with no fear, working my strategy and what I'm gonna do. GSP is fantastic, one of the best fighters in the world. I'm working my way up, one fight at a time and hopefully I can get to fight GSP. I think [my style] is definitely one to give him more trouble than a lot in the past. He's one of the best fighters in this sport. I definitely have to be prepared and I've dedicated by life to training and doing everything I have to do to keep improving on things I'm weaker at or not as strong and become more well-rounded. I definitely believe I can beat GSP. I think I can beat anybody in my weight class in the world. I just have to continue to stay focused."

Hear more from "The Juggernaut" after the jump.

Star-divide

Anyone think he's the man to get the job done? Or is he getting a little ahead of himself?

hate these type of quotes

“I believe I can beat GSP” aren’t you suppose to feel that way? The reason these fighters get no attention is because they have no orginality no personality…

he destroyed shields in 30 seconds....gsp couldnt finish him in 25 mins

Gsp wouldn’t be able to take jake down that easy, and gsp wouldn’t wanna stay standing

lol mma math....when are people gonna learn

  This guy just lost to rick story not long ago who IMO, easily lost two rounds to martin kampman who lost to jake shields ha ha(again mma math lol). Any top welter weight can beat gsp if they catch him etc, but good luck with that.

by nathang on Nov 25, 2011 1:56 PM EST up reply actions  

yes but ellen will be fighting condit for the title.

because condit is the only guy who can beat GSP right now.
(plus condit KOd Hardy in half a round and GSP could do no better than slow dance with him for 5)

Na Rocha didn’t win that. Jake definitely won, it was a close fight though, way too close for comfort. Honestly, Rocha should still be in the UFC, instead of knocking Jake for that fight, we should definitely be praising Rocha. That dude is bigger than Jake, who is fucking huge, and his jits was sick…

He is good and that Shields fight is the difference.

He wasn’t scared of Shields or being within his range of a clinch or shoot. He is fearless and a KO quality fighter. His skill and aggression may prove enough to be what stops GSP as long as he doesn’t respect GSP too much.,

It’s pretty remarkable what GSP does really. Some of his fights aren’t that exciting of course, but he always finds his opponents weakness and exploits it, usually in a dominant fashion.

I was saying the other day that I will be very interested to see how he handles Diaz, who has both good stand up and jiu jitsu.

Gsp has fought guys with good stand-up and bjj and squashed them nick diaz has not faced anyone close to the level of gsp..diaz best win came against a LW and he talked himself into a title bout not too excited about the match-up

How he looks when he fights yes. GSP doesn't look comfortable striking.

He throws barely any combinations. And looks to have one good punch which is his lead jab.

gaurantee you he wont want to stand.

Diaz will have to hurt him off his back maybe open up a cut. If he can hurt Gap early I believe gsp will slowly lose his will to want to fight, where as as Nick will get better and more confident as the fight progresses.

But I seriously doubt GSP can lay a beating on him.

 Not every fighter is a KO artist or a JJ artist or a wrestler. For those that JUST like KO’s GSP and many other great fighters may not be your favorites to watch but for those of us who love the ground graplling and complete package seeing GSP dicatate his will on other great fighters is very entertaining. I like the KO here and there as well but with GSP we typically get to see a entertaining five round fight.

Jake, you're a very good fighter.....

but c’mon now.
He would blow his wad by the 2nd, then have to deal with GSP after that. Try a very well-rounded fighter first. I think KOS would ruin him, Alves would too. GSP, by whatever he wants. Jake has some more learning to do in the meantime.

by GodDamnMike on Nov 25, 2011 2:21 PM EST reply actions  

No way KOS and his rudimentary striking do anything to Ellenberger. Kos striking is so pathetic, he wouldn’t even survive on the amateur scene in MT at all. His striking is laughable. This is a guy who was getting outpointed by Matt Hughes for a good duration of their fight.

He has the takedown threat that makes his striking effective though

 And thats the thing going against a great wrestler is you as a fighter can’t get careless and throw your power strikes because KOS will make you pay if you miss.

by Puck Head on Nov 25, 2011 2:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Well that’s the thing. Kos is only effective because of the threat of his wrestling. When you take away that, like when Kos is only looking to stand ala Paulo Thiago / Alves / GSP / Matt Hughes, etc etc, Kos rudimentary striking is shown for what it is.

Jake would not fear Kos wrestling, which would enable real striking to occur, not that Jake is technical, but he’s got stupid power, and Kos chin isn’t all that great either. Would be a slug fest. Got my money on Jake winning slug fests against damn near anyone…

The problem with Jake is he has pillow hands though

Were KOS has the KO power.
