UFC on FUEL TV 1: Jake Ellenberger prepared to hurt 'stupid guy' Diego Sanchez with a 'full-blown assault' (Video)

"If you let [Diego Sanchez] dictate the pace of the fight, and the range, you're going to be in for a long night. If he wants to go that break-neck, stupid-guy pace, I can do that, too. But, I plan on hurting him on my feet -- I know I can hurt him. If he wants to come out and bully-rush like he normally does, then I think he's going to get hurt. So, I'm really prepared for anywhere the fight goes…. I'm looking forward to showcasing [my improved stand up] in this fight and making it a 15-minute, full-blown assault on my part…. I'm excited."

-- Nick Diaz and his recent (and very disappointing) UFC 143 drug test failure might have us all consumed at the moment, but there are other welterweight fights on the horizon. In fact, there is a pretty good one on tap between Jake Ellenberger vs. Diego Sanchez, which will headline the first-ever UFC on Fuel TV main event on (Wed., Feb. 15, 2012) from the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska. And it's not outside the realm of possibility that the winner of the 170-pound match up takes on newly-crowned division interim champion, Carlos Condit, in the near future with Diaz facing a lengthy suspension and Georges St. Pierre still recovering from knee surgery. How do you like them apples, Maniacs?

Who doesnt?

The question is how will he stack up against condit since gsp will fake his injury for the next year

I don't think Ellenberger's insulting him; headline makes it look like it, though

I think he’s just saying Diego’s pace is absolutely ridiculous.

In any case, he’s going to nuke Diego in the first round.

It's gonna be Condit-Ellenberger #2

Condit better watch out if Jake shows good cardio

making it a 15-minute, full-blown assault on my part….

There you go…Unanimous Decision or even split decision on the way

Professional sig bet record: 7-8-1

The feast is over for Nick Diaz. No longer will he dine on mediocre fighters from lesser promotions. With a future promising fights against GSP, Condit, Fitch, Kos, MacDonald, Ellenberger, Alves, Hendricks and Sanchez, you probably should retire. Don’t be scared, Homie.

by Phasebook on Feb 9, 2012 11:53 PM EST reply actions  

Ellenberger is on the move

Condit is our current champ ( since GSP is injured)
Nick Diaz ( Got busted for weed and will be out a year looks like)
Ellenberger ( On the rise)
Sanchez ( About to get destroyed by Ellenberger)
Kampmann vs Alves ( Great fight)

That being said I think Ellenberger vs Condit 2 will be happening after this fight…

Just a guy who likes to watch fights, need I say more?

Jake may have improved his striking enough to put Sanchez away...

Werdum and Jake have the same muay thai coach, and I think everyone was impressed with Werdum’s improved striking…

I want to see

Ellenberger and Nick sometime after Condit and Ellenberger get their rematch over with. Check out this video of Jake, the end is the best when he talks about Nick.

Ellenberger with the house of pain music is a total win

I like when Ellenberger talks about Diaz at the end.
Says he can hear butterflies doing pushups when Diaz punches

Ellenberger rubs me the wrong way

…even though I don’t necessarily like Diego I’ll be rooting for him

by Starr788 on Feb 10, 2012 2:16 AM EST up reply actions  

Does Ellenberger seem cocky to you?

He is a tough guy, but I’m, not sure why he would rub you the wrong way?

Sig bet for Edgar vs Bendo and Shields vs Akiyama with Phasebook down and official... Picks: Bendo and Akiyama

by KO's and Knee's on Feb 10, 2012 2:22 AM EST up reply actions  

I know right

If Nick and Jake were to face off I just don’t think Nick would succeed in doing his stalking he gets away with in his past fights. In my opinion, Ellenberger would stand right in the pocket early, eat two of those 65% power shots Nick throws and land two BOMBS and knock him on his ass. Just look at all his past recent finishes. That’s kind of a Diaz weakness as well, just look at Diaz’s knockout loss. Fan of both fighters too
