Ellenberger: Hendricks is definitely beatable
Jake Ellenberger: “He’s not like a GSP, where it’s going to take something, you know, some crazy plan to beat him [Johny Hendricks].”
Jake Ellenberger is hoping to earn a shot at the welterweight title with a win over former number one contender Robbie Lawler. And after that, Ellenberger feels like Hendricks a winnable fight for him:
Jake Ellenberger is a genuinely respectful guy, so don’t mistake the following for some form of trash talk. It’s just one man’s opinion.
And in Ellenberger’s opinion, simply put, Johny Hendricks is no Georges St-Pierre.
To dethrone St-Pierre, a UFC welterweight would have had to combine a special effort on a special kind of night. Beating Hendricks? Get Ellenberger a cage, 4-ounce gloves and a referee and he’ll accomplish that one for you before suppertime.
He’s not like a GSP, where it’s going to take something, you know, some crazy plan to beat him, Ellenberger told ESPN.com.
To beat GSP, everything would have to be pinpoint and precise. With Johny, if you can threaten him with your power and dictate the pace, he’s definitely beatable.
