Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight veterans Jake Ellenberger and Jorge Masvidal dueled last night (Dec. 3, 2016) at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 24 Finale inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ellenberger saved his UFC career in his last bout, but he faced another tough test in this match up. Opposite the durable and well-rounded "Gamebred," Ellenberger was forced to mix it up a bit. Masvidal’s position as a Welterweight inside the Octagon was still unproven heading into this bout. The Florida-native needed to prove that he could actually beat the division’s best and not just make it close, and Masvidal was looking to make a statement here.
