Cool fight. Shogun should get the winner of the Wanderlei vs. Franklin. Might be a little controversial if it’s Wanderlei though, but they’ll both be fallen fighters on the comeback. Then the winner of Shogun vs. Wanderlei/Franklin should fight for the top contender position. Just my opinion.

You might be right about Thiago Silva not fighting top guys besides Machida,but that still doesn’t take away the fact that your boy Jardine is not an elite legit contender.

Yes him and Fitch are “grinders”, but that’s not always a good thing. Are they always going to “grind” out a win? The true greats are remebered for great performances. Jardine is not the worst,but how can you make a case for him when he can’t even win 2 in a row,let alone finish a guy. Fitch, that guy is sooo overrated. The only legit guys he beat are Sanchez and Alvez, from there i don’t recall him finishing anyone.

Thiago Silva still needs to fight more elite guys, but Jardine is not elite. I agree that Forrest would have beat Thiago.

When is Jardine going to take advantage of at least one of the soooo many undeserving shots that the UFC gives him. When he does that, then i’ll give him cred. He should start redeeming himself by putting T. Silva away, but i don’t think thats going to happen buddy.

i kind of agree the dean isnt that good to me his leg kicks are difinitly overrated to me alot of his leg kick to me were just trying to get you to make you move or look at it and it isn’t doing the damage they think it is

Tim cat Marvel
I dont know what ya’ll are smelling or sniff’n but it aint fresh air. LOL

Jardine and Fitch are what you would call blue collar workers! Your hard grimmy tough as nail everyday people fighters. Not a ton of flash but they get the job done.!!

IMO those guys are not over rated.

IMO the guys who are over rated are the one’s who have not proven anything but get all the credit and hype.

Your boy T. Silva has beat who in the top 5 lhw??? Or top 8??
But he gets mad love and all the hype???

Forrest was gonna walk straight through that guy, and everybody in here knows that. Jardine is a gate keeper of sorts and keeps the division honest as to who are legit and who are not.

I personally thought it should have been Shogun and jardine cause that would have been a money fight for the UFC(kinda) or shogun vs T.silva cause shogun could probably knock him off and get some streeet cred, but i think they probably realy wanna promote Rua now that he has a win over chuck so he likely fights loser of machida/evans(-bigchris-). An even bigger money fight. But i guess franklin’s in the mix to(so many awesome matchups) At the end of the day i see Cane beating any of these guys.(minus machida) Hes the perfect fighter to do damage in the LHW div. Cane gets title shot 2010.

exactly. i dont know where all this hate for jardine is coming from. When the guy doesnt get cought he wins fights its that simple. not to mention his stock had to go up after the rampage fight. Jardine’s with the right camp right now and will keep improving. Thiago’s going to lose this one
