Keith Jardine was a gambler and sell a solid contributor of UFC increases over the past five years, but when you have lost four straight and 5-of-6 became rather hard. Jardine supported UFC in the corner and promotion said the former cast member from season 2 of "The Ultimate Fighter" that it was time to hit small circuit of MMA.
Jardine (UFC 15-8, 6-7) was flattered by all offers from smaller promotions. He actually took one of the first fighting that came his way.Shark fights out of Texas offered a fellow UFC veteran in Trevor Prangley. they meet this weekend in Amarillo, Tx. Shark Fights 13.
Jardine wasn't about waiting for UFC change his mind or take time off.
"First of all, all offers that came for the fights were simply amazing and I did feel pretty good.And I just wanted to get a fight as fast as possible and then Shark Fights called immediately-I mean, like, next week-and I accepted the fight, "Jardine said Luke Thomas on WJFK."And then I was in training mode, since then, so I think that after over of this fight, I'm gonna take a couple of weeks ".
Win or lose, Jardine is a free agent after the fight and he will look for the best match possible. "The Dean of Mean "WJFK said that he believes that the UFC would want him to win two clashes first call him back up.
"My goal is always to return to UFC and return in the image title. And we have not made no bones about it, "said Jardine. "We told 'em that that is what this fight is for me the opportunity to return to the ring and get out of the crisis that I have been getting right back to the image in UFC title."
Jardine, 34, is optimistic and he should be.He was well-regarded by UFC President Dana White and matchmaker Joe Silva.And frankly in the past two years could have been very different, with a pause or two along the way.Jardine has lost a close decision Quinton Jackson at UFC 96 and thinks his mentality of how attack down the stretch cost him the fight.He also scored jobbed a bit in his last loss against Matt Hamill, when he missed a point about what was really an eye unintentional poke.
Jardine has revealed a surprising nugget that he never received bids or calls from two world's largest promotions, Strikeforce and DREAM.
Prangley, that is really a tweener between 185 and 205 pounds, will not be easy for Jardine. He is a fighter very good and this will make the third straight takedown artist who had to reject Jardine. If he can keep on your feet, Jardine should be able to get to Prangley (UFC 22-6, 2-2). the 38-year-old defensive has slowed down over the years. it would be nice if Jardine could score a quick, emphatic finish as well. Avoiding are fine when you're in the UFC, but probably not the best way to get re-signed by the promotion.
