Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Jake Shields

If you happened to miss Jake Ellenberger’s thrilling TKO victory over Jake Shields (Pictured) at “UFC Fight Night 25,” it’s understandable considering their welterweight affair lasted all of 53 seconds. Either way, we’ve located the video of their scrap for your viewing pleasure.

After a quick tussle that saw Ellenberger easily prevent two takedown attempts, “The Juggernaut” unleashed a highlight-reel performance that not only earned him the biggest win of his budding career, but also the $55,000 Knockout of the Night bonus.

While in the clinch, Ellenberger landed a huge knee to Shields’ midsection, then followed up with one to his face. The former Strikeforce middleweight champ immediately dropped to the ground and Ellenberger pounced.

Game. Set. Match, Ellenberger.

UFC Fight Night 25 took place Saturday night inside the Ernest N. Morial Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

  • Something was missing...Jake Shield's dad wasn't in is corner for the first time. He died three weeks earlier.That had a lot to do with Jake's mind set going into this fight. I would bet on Shields in a rematch.
