The only thing that saved Ellenberger was the damn cage, if he hadn’t of curled up against it like that Diego would have gotten the choke in, and took him out. Next time. lol
Hey Carlos, are you watching? This is how true Fighters fight! Guess you better put on your running shoes again.
I agree. I don’t understand why it was 3 rounds. In 2011 they made all main events 5 rounds. Diego may have lost but he showed a lot more heart than ellenberger. Diego took ellenbergers best shots, as soon as Diego had the upper hand in that third round ellenberger looked like a scared little rag doll. He was lucky Diego couldn’t breath out his nose for the last 10 minutes and was exhausted. Diego has the heart of a champion.
this wasn’t a UFC main event, it was UFC on FUEL TV
jake got him at the end of the 3rd.. diego was broke…

Yes, how dare Carlos fight in a smart manner and have Diaz fall into his trap instead of fighting Diaz’s fight. Maybe if Diaz learned to adjust or fight with more urgency (instead of having his corner – mainly his brother – say he was winning almost every round) the fight wouldn’t have been so close. Of course it’s all a moot point now.
dats y i love watching diego sanchez fights
for haters of each fighter…get in there with one of those guys and see what happens…what excuses will you come up with then
jake got bailed out.they should have made it 5 rds, its a main event match. shogun and hendo’s awesome fight was in 5 rds. why is this not in 5 rds?
Because all main events UFC on Fuel events are three rounds. Every other UFC main event is five rounds.

Shut up with that stuff, If we were MMA fighters I’m sure most of us would get in the cage with them. Go blow your brains out.
that was a amazing fight

Then Diego should have made sure not to be a punching bag for the first two rounds.

Diego ,huney..wake up the nightmare is over….say cacao, baby. its so funny listening to the ringside announcers giving diego sanchez a verbal stroking the entire fight..when you actually look at the fight you can see that sanchez did nothing…jake should fight that man again and stuff some nebraska corn up his …
wtf are u talking about they were kissing jakes … and sanchez did more in the 3rd then jake did in the 1st and 2nd? take down are point earners thats it. so stfu u hick
Freud would be busy with that post
hmpf are you cerebral….can’t handle the truth? watch the fight again. without your unabashed gay tendencies and see who dominated the fight…i know you will admit in quiet to yourself, nothing@nothing Go Nebraska!!!!!!!!
Lucky..lucky..lucky…if this was a 5 rounder hamburger done!
more like a draw….jake hurt him sure, but diego was not as ”done” as jake was in the third getting battered with a lot of unanswered strikes….and he didn’t seem to be intelligently defending with his arm trapped….diego did as much in 2 minutes as jake did in 13…….and i know jake is the better more advanced striker,has huge heart, great chin etc….but why do i still like diego more? go diego!! A 5 ROUND REMATCH IS IN ORDER!! ON A MORE ACCESSIBLE CHANNEL THAN ”FUEL”
sanchez!
sanchez!
if this was 5 rounds jake would get destroy
