Got money on Ellenberger at 7/4 tonight, C'MON JAKE!

Same here, neither one of them had any respect for each other during the weigh ins.

Rory turned his back to Jake to take his creatine and vitamins, and than when they were sizing each other up Jake didn't put his hands up. I'm so stoked for this fight, it's giving me goosebumps! But if there's one thing I know it's that when Jake is motivated and calls a guy out, that's when he does the best. Just ask Jake Shields who he repeatedly called out over twitter similar to what's been going on recently.

Stupidest fuckin' fight I've ever seen in my life.

I hate to sound biased but I honestly think that Ellenberger won that fight. What does a series of half assed punches do against somebody who's actually trying to engage and make a fight happen? Not to mention once Ellenberger did take Rory down, Rory even had the butterflies in and tried to sweep Jake to no avail. Jake was fighting scared in the first and second rounds though, either way that's the third fight I've seen where there's too much hype and not enough action and first one I've seen without Rashad. Horrible performance by both men.

GODDAMNIT JAKE

This seems to be one of those matches that wrestling fans like to use against MMA. Great hype, but the end result was no where near satisfying.

Tbf, a lot of people on here seem to complain about early finishes. (which is weird)

This is one fight that certainly disappoints me as an MMA fan though, I really wish both men tried to go for the finish 'cause that was a horrible fight. It's hard to tell where both men will go, I wanna see an Condit Vs Ellenberger rematch more than I wanna see a Condit Vs MacDonald rematch.

On the flipside, Robbie Lawler looked absolutely outstanding against Bobby Voelker, I'd like to see him take on a top 5 guy next.. that'd be pretty sweet.
