http://www.rds.ca/combats/chroniques/301403.html I know it's in french, but it basically says that Jardine is out of the UFC and he hasn't win since 2008 against Vera Dana White suck...
can't argue with the results, he has been competitive in every fight he's lost except silva but he STILL LOST.
jardine had a couple surprising wins over some good names. but overall he was never a great fighter. i see no problem with this.
He's on no worse a skid than Chuck Liddell or Jens Pulver...but Dana selectively has a soft spot for some guys...with no rhyme or reason, some are douchebags and some are nice guys. They don't come much nicer than the Dean of Mean (ironic as that sounds).
Jardine was an excellent gatekeeper in the 205 weight class and always put on entertaining fights. I don't think he deserved to go, but then again, that's the business. Still, I doubt he will be out of the fight game long. He could probably make some noise in a Bellator tournament, and Strikeforce will most definitely give him a preliminary call.
Jardine seems to always come up just a little short against top fighters, but then again some times he gets absolutely smashed, ala Houston Alexander, Wanderlei Silva and Thiago Silva. Kimbo was cut after losing one fight. I don't think Kimbo was going any where at Heavyweight, but he is a well know name fighter, and I am surprised Dana didnt keep him around just for the attention that it would bring to his events.
