Jake Shields vs Jake Ellenberger in the fall

I got Jake

not feeling this fight

No way Jake wins this!

I was really looking forward to Jake vs BJ. It's going to be a tough matchup for Jake.

Same here.

Jake is going to kick Jake's ass.

Sig bet anyone? I got Jake in this one.

No way, Jake is superior in every department.

"I don't really know who the guy is," Shields told MMAjunkie.com com Radio
(www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "That's my statement. I have no opinion of
the guy yet. I guess I don't even know if I don't like him or not. I
just hear he keeps talking crap. I don't know. I'm not sure why because I
don't even know who he is."

Ellenberger began calling for a fight with Shields this past October,
shortly after the former Strikeforce champ earned a victory in his UFC
debut with a split-decision win over Martin Kampmann.

"Jake Shields, you're as exciting as watching a bowl of mashed potatoes
get cold," Ellenberger posted on his Twitter account. "Your days are
numbered.

"Jake Shields' cardio won't be a factor if he fights me next. I won't keep him around long enough to get tired."

"I don't really know much about the guy," Shields said. "I only heard of
him for the first time maybe six months ago. People said this kid kept
talking crap about me. I still think I've only seen him fight once, so I
don't have much opinion. I'll have to watch him fight more so I can
make an opinion of him. Personally, I know I don't like him, but as a
fighter, I don't really have much of an opinion of him yet.

"I'm not saying he's not a good fighter. I just find it kind of amusing.
This guy apparently has some kind of beef with me for some reason.
Maybe I stole one of his girlfriends or something."

"I wanted B.J. Penn or Jon Fitch," Shields said. "Carlos Condit. I
wanted one of the names people know. But you know, when the UFC calls
and asks me to fight someone, I'm not someone who's going to avoid it,
so I said, 'Sure, I'll take the fight.'

"I think I need to go out there and make a statement with Ellenberger.
Obviously, my goal is to get that title, but I'm not really worried
about that too much right now. I need to focus on Ellenberger and make a
statement – show that I have made big improvements from the last fight
to this."

Ellenberger has big time power and solid offensive wrestling. I presume we'll see how good his takedown defense is

Quote :

"I fight whoever they tell me, but when they asked me (to fight) Ellenberger, my first reaction was I want to fight someone like B.J. or Fitch. But they wanted me to fight Ellenberger and it was a main event. I'm willing to fight whoever they want. I'm not one to say no, especially if it's a main event. So I said, ‘sure, I'll do it.' But I was hoping to fight Fitch on the San Jose card. I didn't ask too many questions. I just asked, ‘you know, what about Fitch?' And they sounded like they were kind of set. Just being in a main event is a big thing. If I were to sit there to complain about that, I'd be an idiot."

A fight between him and Fitch would have been an interesting fight

So is this though

Jake Shields' father passed away today (August 30th, 2011), just over two weeks away from Jake's scheduled bout against Jake Ellenberger at UFC Fight Night 25 on Sept. 17 in New Orleans. Jack Shields was his son's high school wrestling coach, and also served as his manager. No word on whether or not Shields will pull out of his bout against Ellenberger.

That's ashame. I wouldn't have any problems with Jake wanting to drop out.

wow, that sux... my condolences to the fam.
