UFC welterweight Jake ‘The Juggernaut’ Ellenberger (26-5) feels he is capable of beating champ Georges St-Pierre for the UFC title. Ellenberger is down in Rio de Janeiro and sat down with Tatame TV talking about his status within the 170 lbs division, his quick win over Jake Shields, and his thoughts on how big the UFC is in Brazil.
“Styles make fights and I go into each fight with no fear, working my strategy and what I’m gonna do. GSP is fantastic, one of the best fighters in the world. I’m working my way up, one fight at a time and hopefully I can get to fight GSP. I think [my style] is definitely one to give him more trouble than a lot in the past. He’s one of the best fighters in this sport. I definitely have to be prepared and I’ve dedicated by life to training and doing everything I have to do to keep improving on things I’m weaker at or not as strong and become more well-rounded. I definitely believe I can beat GSP. I think I can beat anybody in my weight class in the world. I just have to continue to stay focused.”
