Sometimes opportunities present themselves to fighters and fighters step up to the plate to take advantage of that opportunity. That's exactly what happened when Jake (22-5) got the call to fight MMA veteran Carlos Condit on short notice in his UFC debut. Although Ellenberger lost a razor close decision, he put himself on the map in that fight. After winning his UFC 108 fight against Mike Pyle, Ellenberger looks to climb the steep ladder of the UFC welterweight division. MMAforreal.com spoke with Ellenberger last night and he shared quite a few things with us. He spoke about how he got into MMA, why Hardy is going to get crushed by Georges St. Pierre, why fighting is a business where training partners should fight one another, and why he will not give Ben Saunders any respect when they square off at UFC 111. Check out the full audio below:

Will listen to the audio later, but definitely think more fighters should take the ‘i am giving this guy no respect’ attitude. Look at Saunders fight against Swick, he looked scared and got tore up. Vera vs coutore is another example. He gave Randy way too much respect and didn’t let lose. Not saying you play to their strengths. Just don’t fight with fear
yo
you can hear it in Ellenberger’s voice…and probably why he performed so well against Condit on short notice…this is going to be a hell of a fight…

that fight
was spectacular, definitely borderline top 10 of 2009. I thought Condit earned the W with his strong 2nd and 3rd rounds, but regardless I came out of that fight as a huge fan of Ellenberger.
