That and Rampage doesnt block leg kicks which is Jardines main weapon its far from an impossible win. Jardine beat down Liddell who like Rampage is a counter puncher just with less technique. If Rampage isnt 100 percent ready for Jardine he will lose. You dont beat down Liddell,Vera or Forrest if your a crap fighter like some call Jardine.
Does anyone actually believe Quinton isn't training to defend leg kicks? Especially after losing the title against Forrest that way? Everyone knows that's the only way Keith is going to win this. I like Jardine and hope the UFC is finally giving him a good paycheck after they ****ed him over so often. But this is a horrible matchup for him. He won't sub Rampage, can't outwrestle him, get's hit alot, doesn't have any Muay Thai, and has been put to sleep 3x in less than a minute. If Rampage hasn't prepped for leg kicks, he deserves to lose. Even if he hasn't there's a good chance he'll KO Keith anyways.
Leg kicks could be huge; Jardine's are nasty and Jackson doesn't handle them for ****. Jackson is the better class of fighter, but if he goes into "boxer Rampage" mode, like he did against Forrest, he is going to be limping out of the cage a loser.
Well I'm sure he is, but I'm equally sure he prepared for the Thai clinch in the Silva fights and the Shogun fight, I'm sure all of Imanari's opponents prepare for the leglock. You can prepare all you want, but you can only become so good at something in 8 weeks of training camp.
The only thing that interest me in this card besides an upset of Rampage is whether my boy Munoz is the real deal. He seems to have the highest pedigree in this card, I just hope he doesnt turn out to be a bust like Vera, who was doing movies in the Philippines right after koing Miratsch
We all saw what happened vs Forrest and then he fought Wanderlei and still wasnt defending leg kicks but lucky for him he has superior boxing. Jardine doesnt have Muay Thai ? Hey genius you do relize roundhouse kicks are a huge part of Thai dont you ? Keith Jardine has some of the best around he digs his whole body into them and keeps his head off the line he gets so much into them and they have helped him earn some big wins especially the Liddell win.
Gonzaga-Carwin should be a great fight as well, I think at this point every UFC event won't make you happy, you should wait for the next Affliction card and maybe then you will be happy again.
Actually this fight intrigues me, I dont know how the hell Carwin gets by but I will be glad if he gets the upset. Gonzaga, where the hell is he going? This division is now stacked The truth is I want to see an elite fighter in every card, fighters I enjoy performing A. Silva is one, its the what is he going to do this time factor. If not that, then a mega star like Brock vs. Mir. Id see that one. Diaz/Shamrock is a matchup I cant wait for. Thats why I want to see Munoz, this is top level wrestler against another good wrestler, I am intrigued whats going to happen, my guess is that Munoz will throw Hamill like a rag doll, that would be a wow!
I see, and like Jackson with Ortiz. The buddy-buddy schtick. I can get that with brothers, but ****...a little professionalism, people. You're fighters.
