Just in case you did not know, Jake Ellenberger is for real, ladies and gentlemen.
When Ellenberger stepped inside the Octagon Saturday night in New Orleans, LA to face off against Jake Shields, Ellenberger made his case that he is ready to face the best the welterweight division has to offer.
It took Ellenberger less than a minute to hand Shields his second career TKO defeat. With this defeat, Shields has dropped two out of three fights since he made the drop to the welterweight division, while Ellenberger won his fifth straight since losing his UFC debut against Carlos Condit.
In other action, Court McGee made a successful return to the UFC after a string of injuries kept him out of action when he earned a decision victory over Dongi Yang. Also, Erik Koch spoiled Jonathan Brookins’ featherweight debut, and Alan Belcher came back after two eye surgeries looking as good as he ever has.
But despite winning or losing, how did each fighter perform?
It is once again time for the unofficial official professor of Bleacher Report MMA to hand out each fighters’ report card.
