UFC on Fuel Betting Odds – On Wednesday, February 15, 2012, UFC on FUEL TV will air live on the FUEL network from the Century Link Center in Omaha, Nebraska. In the main event, heavy-handed contender Jake “The Juggernaut” Ellenberger will look to make it six wins in a row against the recently resurgent Diego “The Dream” Sanchez. Sanchez, who dropped to 155 after mixed results at Welterweight, had a rough time with the weight cut and has looked very good since returning to 170 pounds. Sanchez’s aggressive grappling style and solid submission work make him a very tough opponent to deal with, but Ellenberger is a formidable wrestler in his own right with the kind of knockout power in his hands that could give Sanchez, whose boxing stance tends to resemble a Notre Dame Fighting Irish mascot, a lot of difficulties. If Sanchez wants to reestablish himself in the top 10 of the Welterweight division, he is going to need to press the issue with take downs and not spend a lot of time standing and boxing with Ellenberger. A win over Sanchez puts Ellenberger firmly in the title picture, so there is a lot at stake here for both guys.

In the semi-main event, two skilled Heavyweight strikers will go at it as Dutchman Stefan “Skyscraper” Struve will square off against heavy-handed slugger Dave Herman. Herman is the more powerful of the two physically, and has heavier hands, but Struve will enjoy a titanic reach advantage and has a world-class jiu-jitsu game to complement his striking, so this should be a great Heavyweight clash. The rest of the card features Aaron “A-Train”Simpson against Ronny Markes in a Middleweight showdown, a Heavyweight matchup between Philip de Fries and Stipe Miocic, and a 135 pound showdown pitting T.J. Dillashaw against Walel “The Gazelle” Watson.
