Can I ask why? Is it just to go against the grain? The line for this fight is similar to when he fought BJ Penn. No one is really giving him much of a shot to win. Just expecting a gutsy performance.

You don't think it's a little bit ridiculous that the line is similar to when he fought Penn?

Ellenberger has not shown enough to warrant such a line over Sanchez. He knocked out Shields early with a knee, has won some narrow decisions over middle of the pack fighters, and knocked out a couple more middle of the pack guys. He should be a favorite based on his win over Shields and Sanchez's questionable win over Kampmann but the line just shows how much people are overreacting to Ellenberger. I just don't see outside of power and maybe technically being a more skilled striker people view him as sooo much better than Sanchez. When i match them up, i think it's a pretty even fight that Diego can win.

I think Diego toughness will play a big factor..he'll get hit but i don't think he'll get finished and i give him the edge in wrestling, grappling, and i think if it turns into a slugfest Diego will be be more than able to land enough on Ellenberger. That is just how i'm predicting the fight will go. I think Sanchez will win by decision. I said Sanchez can win this fight from the second it was rumored, and i've been on the fence and i've decided to lean Nightmare.

Of course it is. I'm surprised by the overwhelming amount of people favoring Jake by such a wide margin. I understand him being favored I just didn't expect it to be this extreme. Over 90% of fighters, writers and interwebz posters are rolling with Jake.

Diego? Back at Jackson? I am going for the Dream!
