yeah I don't get how he fights for the first time at 185 and they give him a title shot doesn't make much sense, but he is a more known fighter so I guess Coker's trying to sell some extra tickets on his name or something

This might be Jardine's only chance to hold a belt ever.  Still not very likely after the way Rockhold handled my dude Jacare.

This is a bit of odd news... I guess the lack of fighters in the MW at SF is showing.

I see how people think this fight is a joke, but Jardine is tough and entertaining. Should be a good fight.

Why are you complaining? Don't forget Jardine beat Liddell, Vera and Griffin at LHW and he took a war to Mousasi at LHW as well. The guy is a very good striker and his wrestling is pretty decent too.

This fight will be good.

If Rockhold wins, it's over an opponent that UFC fans are familiar with and will help legitimize him, since a lot of people don't know who Jacare was.

If Jardine wins, it resuscitates his career and maybe allows him to get another run in UFC.  So the fight makes enough sense and there aren't many options to pick from.

I always liked Jardine but Rockhold is solid.  Never actually looked into odds but I guess Rockhold would be favored. Personally, I like Jardine in this fight, he has the ability to pull an upset and make the UFC come crawling back to him. Could be good profit if the odds are in Rockholds favor as I expect.

I bet they chose Jardine because they're having Kennedy fight Bisping on FOX 2.

personally it sounds like coker knows SF wont be around much longer so he is throwing a big name against rockhold so he can sell more tickets and also when rockhold wins it will show that SF guys can beat well known names

it draws in the fans that only know about UFC and not much about other organizations and their fighters
