Not official yet just a rumour. Saw it around twitter. Would be a nice fight. Love both these guys though.

I would love to see Jake VS Rumble Johnson...


I think Jake wins by KO against Diego.

@wake.  I agree with Rumble vs. Ellenberger considering Rumble sustained almost no damage in the Brenneman fight.  Rumble/Ellenberger would be a better fight that Sanchez/Ellenberger.  I just don't think Sanchez is as dangerous at WW.

In fact, I think both Rumble and Ellenberger didn't even take one punch in their fight.

Kampmann taught us the Diego can take a hell of punch.  Diego would still have much better luck on the ground.

Yeah, but kampmann doesn't even come close to the power of Ellenbergers, Once Ellenberger catches him, he won't be able to recover and he will follow up with 20 punches to the face before the ref can even jump in.

Against Kampmann, Diego's strategy was to look for takedowns but it won't work against Ellenberger.

I agree that diego is very underrated but ellenberger is on such a roll its hard to pick against him

It's hard to take out Diego but I think Ellenberger can.

I dont even know if this fight is happening anymore ever since the card with all the rumoured bouts from 141 was shown and then deleted again this was deleted too from wiki. See that might be a sign that all those other fights are happening?

I'm from Houston and I went to the fan expo and ufc 136. I talked to Diego at the hotel across the street and I asked him who he was fighting next and he said "Maybe Ellenberger. We'll see." Right when he said this he winked at me and smiled so I'm pretty sure this is happening.

I've met a ton of Strikeforce fighters. No UFC fighters of note...just Dan Hardy and Andre Winner.

Oh and some guy named Anderson Silva.

Diego took a beating from Kampmann, got dropped multiple times (by a guy who is constantly criticized for his lack of power), and ultimately won a terrible decision. Shields survived the onslaught of Henderson, but Ellenberger wrecked him in one round. I stand by my statement, he will finish Diego Sanchez.

gotta agree with mino, i dont think sanchez deserves this high profile a fight.... i may be completely off base, but i dont think sanchez is that incredible anymore....he's bounced around weight classes, looking for the easiest path to a belt, and got smashed by bj penn...thats nothing to be ashamed of, but i too believe he lost to kampmann....i think smashing jake shields is grounds to get at least a number one contenders fight, because shields is very good...maybe even take on nick diaz, if bj penn gets hurt before fight time....the list of fighters that i think ellenberger should fight next on his road to title would be diaz, penn, fitch, rory, kos, condit....anyone else is a low reward fight imo...but i understand why they would want this fight, as tuf fighters have a bankable name over others and ellenberger would either help get sanchez bck near the top or ellenberger could add a more popular/better known fighter to his list of victims

@minotauro .. What fight were you watching? Diego only got dropped once in the first round for like a second. Thats the round he lost. Sanchez has won 2 in a row against top competition. I too think Ellenberger will win but Diego wont be finished.

@DelRose, now liking the greatest HW of all time takes away from his comments? Seriously the people on this site the last few days.

Anyways Ellenberger will wreck Sanchez. Sanchez is way overrated and shouldve stayed at LW
