Page 1 of 2  Much like the Stan Lee comic book character from which he gets his nickname, Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger is often unstoppable when in motion and seemingly invulnerable to all forms of physical damage.
The 21-year-old mixed martial arts athlete has 12 wins in his 14 pro bouts with nine of those wins by way of knockout, earning him praise from one of the best in the business. "He's a young talented guy with a great work ethic," says trainer Matt Lindland. "That's a rare combination. He even helps out on my ranch in Oregon when he needs some extra cash. I actually named one of my goats after him - Little Jake!" "I'm not sure if that's an honor or not," laughs the Nebraska native. "But I do know training with guys like Matt and Dan Henderson at Team Quest has really helped me to raise my game. Their commitment and dedication to the sport is second to none." Ellenberger will get to demonstrate just how much he's learned this Tuesday, September 25 at 9 p.m. and midnight EST when Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues in Canada on The Score Television Network. Ellenberger will take on 33-year-old Huntington Beach native Zach "Lisbon's Outlaw" Light (5-3). Like Ellenberger, Light, who was born and raised in Lisbon, Iowa, has also trained with one of the biggest names in the sport.
