Oops my bad about the Jardine info. I’m usually on top of these things. I guess I forgot considering the outcome of the fight and that it really wasn’t very exciting. That’s my excuse anyway. haha Good looking out.

If not for Rampages legal issues he would have got his rematch. Waiting for that mess to be sorted out is what cost him a rematch. Don’t forget that it is still not over, I think he still has probation and community service over the next year. Nothing wrong with giving him another fight to mesh with his new camp before the title fight either.

I think this fight is a clear indication that the winner of Silva/Machida will get the first LHW title shot. Kudos to the UFC for not trying to plug the “marketable” fighter.

Just remember that when Jardine is severe underdog he has a tendency to beat the odds (*see Liddell and Forrest).

this is a no win fight for Rampage. He is supposed to win! If he loses by a lucky punch then it will not look good for him. He should’ve fought the winner of Lyoto vs Silva. That’s what i’m talking about!!

Joe Silva has been sucking a lot lately man!!!! Franklin vs Henderson!?! Come on now!!! Nobody wanted to see thast shit! In fact, nobody even purchased the payperview! It was all set up just to mess up affliction sales the week after!

What about Rampage vs Anderson the Spider!?! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! Now, that’s what i’m talking about!!! I should be setting up all the fights for the UFC!

Shogun vs lidell!?!? Please man!! another ass sucking fight! Nobody cares about this fight! Why is Lidell still headlining events? Crazy man!!!

at first i was kinda angry reading this topic. i thought rampage vs jardine?? wtf. i dont wanna see this. but then after thinking about it and calming down some, ive come to the conclusion that this is actually a good fight and surprise matchup. i do want to see it :p

jardine maybe a spotty fighter, but hes the type of guy just when you think hes gonna lose, ends up winning. and its never boring. rampage is an awesome fighter but his chin isnt made of steel. this is one of those fights where almost anything can happen. could be jardine wins with leg kicks or could be he throws a random shot that pops ramp on the button. on the other hand rampage bein rampage could end up knockin jardine out in under a minute. i dont know if id bet on this 1. so dont sleep on this fight, i think this 1 may go the opposite way u think regardless of what u think :p

i have never been a fan of the dean of mean and while rampage delivered an amazing (while being unsportsman like) knockout on WS, i am not enthoused and probably won’t purchase this event. To be honest i think Evans should be fighting Rampage now, while the winner of that fighting the winner of machida and silva. Rampage never got a rematch after his title loss and i have always believed a dethroned champion should have the right to fight the champ again after a single defense from the new champion. Anybody can beat somebody once, doing it a second time is what counts. (thats why bj penn will be looking for his teeth on the mat after GSP is done with him)

jardine is coming off a win against vera not two losses… jardine and evans both said in an interviaew i read last year that they would fight if they had to but jardine was saying evans deserves the shot, and this is after jardine beat chuck and evans didnt know he would fight him yet

DamonO, Jardine beat Vera his last fight.

Yea this really makes no sense since Page is coming off a win and Jardine off of two losses back to back. And the worst part is that whoever wins is the title contender? I see Rampage being in title contention after that great KO over Silva but Jardine? I guess if Jardine wins in impressive fashion and KO’s Rampage but seriously, will that really happen? Come on! Also, what about Thiago Silva and Lyota Machida? Both of those guys deserve a title shot before either Rampage or Jardine. WTF? I guess this is another part of the ongoing entertainment UFC puts on. Leaving us guessing.

Not a fight that I’m lookin forward too. Unless there is badass undercard bouts, I might be missin this one. Sure Jardine has wins over Chuck and Forrest but he’s had a terrible loss since then and he just recently beat Vera, who as a LH hasnt been impressive. Def didnt see this matchup comin.

It is 2009 now and we do need a Jardine getting completely knocked out highlight clip.

I’m confused by this fight. But I put my trust in Joe Silva. He’s the best match maker in the business.

There’s no way they’d put five title fights on one card. It couldn’t fit. They would have to depend on several of them not going the distance. I could see them scheduling three title fights and squeezing in an undercard fight or two.

I didnt think jardaine Evans would ever fight being from the same camp and trainging partners and all

I really cant see Jardine being much of a threat to Rampage. However, it would be interesting to see Jardine face Rashad (assuming he beats Rampage) just because they train together.

Axl Rose — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:07:04 +0000

Damn, this sucks!! I love both Keith and Jackson but come on man! Are you serious!! This fight makes no sense!! R.I.P. Keith!

I know what the UFC is thinking. Jackson will knokc the shit out of Keith, so then this will produce the major drama needed for the Rashad-Jackson fight! Crap!

Enoough with the shit ass fights UFC!!!!!
Fire bitch Dana already!!!

“This fight will be a good one and i think Jardine wins it just by virtue of the fact he wont gas like Rampage surely will in the second round.”

@ BigDave:
Did you see the Jackson vs Henderson title fight? Rampage went for 5 rounds at a pretty solid pace and won a decision against a very tough opponent. How you think he “surely” gas in the 2nd baffles me.
Tough fight for Rampage, really. I think he will TKO Jardine but he better learn to check leg kicks if he is going to.

“BigDave” I agree I am looking forward to this matchup I don’t know why people are so easily dismissing Jardine. Quinton has shown a big weakness for leg kicks and who’s better at attacking his opponent with leg kicks than Jardine?
Also “mark” I agree Gsp over Penn, but I would still put him behind Fedor and Anderson Silva on a P4P list.

i agree with bigdave gsp is the best fighter in the world,and would put my house on gsp beating bj penn @ ufc 94.

First off James Dunn, There isnt any chance in hell BJ Penn is beating Rush so you dont have to worry about that.

Now to the Rampage vs Dean of Mean fight. im looking forward to it Unlike most of the people on here i have a brain and dont just blindly pick a fighter cause he is popular. This fight will be a good one and i think Jardine wins it just by virtue of the fact he wont gas like Rampage surely will in the second round. Jardine by tko.
