Silva’s fighting style is definately going to be a lot harder for Jardines than Chucks was, because he is so aggressive and relentless with his attack. This makes things difficult to set where as with Chuck he was able to set up his kicks and punches because he had the time to do it. I have rated Jardine for a while, he is a very skilfull fighter. I think that if he can get past the first round, he can win the fight. I think that Jardine will be the smarter fighter of the two which showed in their fights against Chuck. Jardine does have knockout power as well as powerful accurate kicks and I want to see him win this one even more so because Dana and the UFC definately want him to lose.

And to OJR who made the comment below saying that I was taliking BS about backing Jardine over Chuck, check out my response if you haven’t already, and feel free to reply with an apology when you have finished eating your words.

I bet you back Serra vs. GSP in their first fight, too.

Sorry but I call BS on this one.

Nobody expected Chuck to lose to Jardine…Nobody…

True. Sherk’s training just looked agonizing.

If you re-watch the fight between Chuck and Wandy, you can see that Chuck hit Wandy with a hard right and then slipped backing up. I think that the punch was pat of the reason Wandy could not capitalize.

I like Jardine. He beat Forrest, Chuck and most would agree he beat Bonner. I just can’t see him lasting 3 rounds. If he does, I think he will win it by decision. If he doesn’t, he will most likely wake up and be told the outcome. As we all know anyone in the cage has a chance to win, but there can only be one winner. Silva, 2nd RD TKO.

I agree Jardine is next in line if he wins. Forrest probably got the shot because Shogun was expected to get the next shot. Jardine in underrated and has a good resume. He will not simply overlook Silva. However, if Silva wins, I think you could push for him to fight Rampage even if Rampage holds the title. The re-match story would be great, and could set up a potential Wanderlei vs. Liddell II for the title.

In fairness to Forrest Griffin he did beat the NO1 ranked light-heavyweight in the world therefore he deserves a shot!

If Jardine beats wandy he should be next in line imo

funny thing is if Jardine had good PR people he could’ve gotten a title shot after he beat liddell or even if he just asked for a title shot and opens his mouth more he would’ve gotten a title shot back then but the ppl representing him are shit, he has no personality to market thats why forrest is on the show and getting a title shot after 1 good fight…i love jardine’s game but if he loses this then what? he has to fight 2 more quality hard guys to get a title shot in 2009-2010 maybe, he needs this to stay up there but i’d love to see wandi win as well…gona be a sick brawl just like the liddell-silva one…

good point, whoever can impose their will first will have a clear advantage. The fighters are similar in style, but im gonna take Wand’s chin over Jardine’s although hes been tested vs. Chuck and Forrest. Too close to call.
