UFC on Fuel TV 1 Recap: Jake Ellenberger delivers in front of hometown crowd

After being promised a “dog fight” in the UFC 143 main event, UFC fans could not be blamed if they were somewhat skeptical when Diego Sanchez proclaimed that his UFC of Fuel TV main event bout against Jake Ellenberger was going to be the same.

Kajan Johnson: I’m the kind of guy that likes to push the pace and bring it every second (Exclusive Interview)

He was talking to my muay thai coach and they were discussing Kajan’s last fight from MFC 27 last November.
