Jake Ellenberger is not impressed with Rory MacDonald: “In my opinion the only top 10 guy in our division he’s fought he’s lost to, and that’s Carlos Condit.”
My God this welterweight division. No other weight class in the world hosts a murderer’s row from top to bottom quite like 170. You have the kingpin, GSP, then from there you have a motley collection of dudes that could legit hold the title and KEEP it for quite a while. Take Jake Ellenberger for example, a dude who is taking on Rory MacDonald at UFC on FOX 8. He’s won 11 out...

Jake Ellenberger: If I Was GSP I Would Look To Fight Anderson And Then Retire
Been a ton of retirement talk regarding GSP as of late. Makes sense because he has done just about all he can do in the sport. If he beat Hendricks, then went up and beat Silva it would be very difficult to top that accomplishment. Still a world without GSP fighting in it will take some time to get use to and not something I necessarily look forward to. Not surprised that...
Jake Ellenberger Talks About Need To Finish Fights, Being Called Out
Jake drops a little bomb at the end here, when he says, “I’m not, I’m not, I don’t want to be in the sport much, very long. I want to get to a world title. I want to get to the title and then I can move on from there.” Obvious Jake was trying to be careful what he said but it seems like “The Juggernot” is saying is that he does not have the desire to compete in this...

Jake Ellenberger Wants To Wear Hendricks Teeth Around His Neck
Jake Ellenberger had this to say to Bleacher Report “We are going to cross paths at some point. I’m sure of it. Whether it comes this year, next year, or the year after; Johny Hendricks and I are going to fight. It’s a stance I’ve taken and I’m not going to back off of that. Like I said, nobody wants to fight him because he’s a wrestler and he has power. I think I have...
Rick Story is sick of hearing the Ellenberger accolades, wants to “beat (Jake Ellenberger’s) ass again.”
This UFC welterweight division is truly, insanely deep. I can’t even think of enough hyperbolic analogies to write in order to properly explain how deep the UFC welterweight division is. Really deep. That’s the best way I can put it. You know it’s deep when you have two guys like Jake Ellenberger and Rick Story who are somewhat on the outside looking in at the Hendricks’...
