NEW ORLEANS –
A full minute after it happened, Jake Shields still was wondering exactly what it was.
His opponent, Jake Ellenberger, knew perfectly well.
In the main event of Saturday’s “UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou” event, Ellenberger tagged his fellow welterweight contender with a knee to the body and then one to the head. Shields fell to the mat and never recovered, and Ellenberger earned the stunning TKO victory just 53 seconds into the fight.
