Recently, reports that Jake Ellenberger was to be released from the UFC started to circulate.

However, Ellenberger tried to provide updates, posting a picture of himself online with the comment “It was a good day” and the UFC’s Twitter account attached.

“UFC Tonight” Wednesday confirmed that Ellenberger (30-11) is still with the promotion despite a 1-5 record in his last six. The former college wrestler has suffered losses to Tarec Saffiedine, Stephen Thompson, Kelvin Gastelum, current champion Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald around a submission of Josh Koscheck.

From 2010-13, “The Juggernaut” went 8-1, defeating the likes of Jake Shields, Diego Sanchez and Nate Marquardt.

It is possible that Ellenberger, who turns 31 years old later this month, changes weight classes from welterweight.

It was a good day. @ufc
