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

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.
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.
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)

The fight where Kampmann threw no punches, stopped no takedowns and let Shields mount him over and over again?
GSP
Yeah, Hate Shields all you want
But that’s what I saw Happen too.

i did
Martin could have won but dropped the ball big time.Jake won the fight.
the offical record book will tell you the same.
And I'm something of a phenom/One puff of the chron/I'm unstoppable/I'm alive/ I'm on top again/There's no obstacle that I can't conquer/So come along with us
I dunno. Condit and Rocha took him down without too much trouble
Plus Ellenberger always seems to gas around round 3 in his fighs
by mthom on Nov 25, 2011 1:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions
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…
Rocha still is in the UFC
thnk he had a bad injury

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.,

agression is whats needed??
Nope..A mixed martial artist as athletic,gifted,well-rounded dedicated and skilled as gsp is what’s needed and there is no WW that fits that bill right now

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.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
thats the thing
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

You never get accidentally lock eyes witha dude in a three way? Its a special bond, creepy but special.

He might have a better lead jab!
Other than that it is not close!
semtex stand up is vastly overrated
probably the most overrated in mma

it's definitely the most powerful at ww
even if by any chance you don’t consider it ‘technical’, the dude can bang with power

GSP is by far the most consistent, conservative point fighter in the history of mma.
i will give u all that!
lol meant to say answered it for me letter19
daleys got superb power culminating in a lunging left hook but its all power and no finesse he catches people and jumps all over them.Great power but very stodgy

I respect your opinion, but do you think GSP is better standing than Daley?
Because we know he is not nearly as dangerous!
you talking about looks?? hahah ok
I won’t continue in this ridiculous discussion

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.
You can’t forget the wild occasional overhand right either.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
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.

I think Diaz will be held down for most of 5 rounds
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.
I like sleeping with my mouth open
entertaining lol

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.
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.
true

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.
I like sleeping with my mouth open
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.
I like sleeping with my mouth open
Jake Ellenberger
has pillow hands?
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
I agree
I have been saying this for a while. If Condit doesn’t beet GSP, Ellenberger will.

Did you just wake up from a coma?? 10 posts since 2010 and 2 in one day, you must be spent after that last reply. No chance for Ellenberger to beat GSP…..no chance. He won’t even get a title fight in 2012.

Haha! Very funny.
Because i do not post on this site every day does not mean that i don’t have an opinion. I am not sure if he will get a title shot in 2012 but if he does i think he will upset GSP.

Diaz is not a threat
He will be fighting Condit once he gets rid of Diaz.

I swear that's the third time I see you post that link.
You are either Jake Ellenberger himself or someone close to him.
