Jake Ellenberger survives a late third round scare to earn a hard-fought unanimous decision over Diego Sanchez in the main event of UFC on Fuel TV 1 last night (Weds., Feb. 15, 2012) at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska. "Juggernaut," competing in front of his supportive hometwon crowd, rocked the "Dream" on several occasions in the first two rounds; however, the hard-hitting wrestler soon found out -- just like everyone else who has stepped inside the Octagon with Sanchez -- that he is one of the toughest outs in all of mixed martial arts (MMA) today. In fact, Sanchez had a great opportunity to end the fight late in the final stanza when he took a tired Ellenberger's back, but it turned out to be a case of too little, too late. Ellenberger for some reason refused to call out Welterweight interim champion Carlos Condit in his post-fight victory speech, but it's very possible that he didn't have to because the rematch will likely happen anyway because Georges St. Pierre does not plan to return to action until winter. We'll just have to wait and see how it all pans out.
