Fuel has added a lot of customers lately, and will likely add a few more in advance of the first full card on the network. The main event sees rising star Jake Ellenberger taking on the always-tough Diego Sanchez. Two big heavyweight bouts make up the remainder of the main card at the moment, along with a middleweight bout between prospect Ronny Markes and Aaron Simpson. Here's the current card (undercard after the jump):

Diego Sanchez (26-5) vs. Jake Ellenberger (23-4)
Dave Herman (21-2) vs. Stefan Struve (22-5)

Does anyone think Walel obliterates TJ?

Diego has nasty cardio and strong scrambles.
the Rocha fight showed Ellenberger struggling against a strong scrambler, and he showed cardio liabilities in the Condit fight. I’m the opposite of a Diego Sanchez fan but this isn’t the squash match it looks like.

Rocha is a tough fighter, Diego hasn’t looked good for awhile. Ellenberger also came in short notice against Condit along with being his first Ufc fight. Knocking out Shields should matter more than how he looked 3 fights or 5 fights ago.

Ellenberger had fought Sean Pierson and Shields coming off the death of his dad during his training camp. Before that, he had the unimpressive split decision vs Rocha.

Valid points
But Rocha’s BJJ is light years beyond Diego’s, and he’s a much better athlete to boot. The cardio is a concern, but that was quite a while ago, and he’s shown no problems since then. Long story short, Diego’s game is his wrestling, and Ellenberger’s been taken down exactly once in his UFC career (by Condit in the third round, when he was badly gassed). But yeah, Diego’s cardio is on another level; if he can impose his pace, then Ellenberger might be in trouble.

Do the Fuel cards air on Fox Deportes?
I found out I get it (channel 602) and it airs the prelims. Obviously it’s all in Spanish but I honestly couldn’t care less about the commentary.

I want to rec it, because of the excellent pic
but I can’t because of the terrible, post …and Justice for All lyric. I need to meditate on this quandary.

I know its off topic and I feel pretty stupid asking this, but how do I post pictures in my comments? The way it describes in the formatting guide doesn’t seem to show up when I preview it

How’d you do it?? I tried pasting the link from a picture I found on google images into the tree thing like Tim said, but it didn’t work.
That's what I did and it worked

It may not have a lot of big names, but it should deliver in terms of action.

That Philip De Fries guy looks suspiciously similar to one of those tools from that MTV “MMA” reality show, which makes me want him to lose by devastating KO
After watching his debut
I expect your wish to become a reality. Stipe should destroy this guy.

Just so i'm absolutely positive:
If you have comcast there is no way to watch this, correct? Does anyone know of future plans to add fuel to their channel lineup? They have fuel tv in their on demand selection, makes no sense.
