Jake hits mits during UFC on FuelTV open workouts
Jake Ellenberger spent five hours Sunday afternoon doing photo shoots, media appearances and radio and television interviews — all mandated for main-card fighters in the UFC. Jake and his brother Joe moved quickly from place to place to meet the busy schedule.
When Jake first started doing interviews a number of years ago, he admitted that he didn’t always articulate his thoughts, and interviews took longer due to lack of practice.
Much improved, he now jokes and laughs during media sessions. Not one to trash talk, Jake gave upcoming opponent Diego Sanchez credit for his skill set and record, but doesn’t worry about the outcome of Wednesday’s fight — the maxim “Respect all, fear none,” is one he takes to heart.
After Jake finished up his media requirements, we held his last training session before an uphill battle to make it to 171 pounds at the weigh-in, scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday.
