Jake Ellenberger should stop crying : (

I’m not sure if this guy is really crying about not fighting Saturday, or really even who he is, but let my position on this be clearly known.  Stop complaining!  Just stop talking.  You’re new here. Just smile and nod, please and thank you.  I realize he’s fought twice for the UFC. Still new to me!

He did a favor for the UFC.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had to do a solid for someone where I get paid thousands of American dollars for doing nothing.  Most of mine included something more along these lines, or worse.  He’s essentially a third string quarterback.  Ask Colt Brennan, (call me) who I ran into once at a steakhouse here in DC.  The man was drunk, injured, and accountable to no one.  Not to mention still getting paid.  Quite an existence to be exposed to by someone, who, I don’t know, has to produce something to be paid.

And for those of you who will do the inevitable song and dance about how he "trained so hard, bro" have no idea what you’re talking about. I do a lot of stuff for free, a lot of people do, for just the chance that someday they MIGHT get paid for doing it.  Ellenberger presumably even paid someone else once just to be able to train!  The man walks away healthy, not a scratch on him, and with a nice payday.  Doesn’t even have to cut those last terrible couple of pounds.  This is one MORE fight his body will be able to handle down the road.

People think him getting pulled from his fight will mess with his head.  It won’t.  The man is a professional.  His gentle psyche should be able to handle getting paid to do nothing.  Is this the first time this has happened to him? I would be shocked if it were considering he’s had 27 pro fights and God knows how many amateur ones.  Fights get cancelled all the time.  People get sick, they’re kids get sick. Shit happens.  I think he’s gonna pull through, poor little lamb.
