The only fight which really interest me is Carwin vs Gonzaga. Hazelett is also fun to watch. Take away Rampage and this would pass off as a Fight Night card.
I agree, with UFC's roster they should be making much more appealing fights than this. I mean Jardine is a fringe contender at best. And the fact that they are still using Liddell, Wand, Henderson, Franklin as headliners to PPV's is embarassing. And lets not forget about the Cote/Silva fiasco.
Looks like a card they'd put on in Europe. Where is it meant to be? Without Rampage they wouldn't be able to pass this off as a decent card, and even then the fight is kinda pointless so.... Hopefully they will put another good match-up of some top dogs or a title fight on it. IS the card finalised?
With Griffin out, Rampage not wanting a title shot so soon and no interest in Lidell/Rampage 3..this is the kinda crap you wind up with. On one hand Jardine has shown that when he's the definitive underdog he can come out and ruin things. On the other hand, There really isn't much you can say to support a Jardine win on paper. I don't see this going past the middle of round 2.
I thought it was going to be a rashaad and rampage but oh well he will walk through jardine, then hopefully get that next.
Rampage is champion. Rampage loses his title to Forrest Griffin. Rampage has a comeback fight and destroys Wanderlei in the 1st round. Now Rampage fights the guy that Wanderlei KOd and rapechoked in less than 20 seconds? This fight makes sense...
I don't buy it. He could fight the loser of Thiago/Lyoto to see who gets the next shot after the winner. He could take a rematch with Shogun. Hell, I'd rather see a rematch with Henderson.
jardine will come with a good game plan from jackson probably learn from forrest and use those leg kicks keith has great leg kicks that being said i dont think it will matter the way 2 beat keith was shown 1st by alexander u have 2 be aggressive and dont let him settle in his rhythm. so hopfully that will be pages gameplan if he does it will b a short night 4 keith. ps i called the mauling that wandy gave him
