Why are there rumors of Chuck Fighting Jardine? I know Silva backed out or whatever, but I thnk Jardine coming off a loss is a HUGE step back no? Chuck is still one of if not the top of his weight ( I think ref stopped it to quick .. yeah im one of those guys). I know they are rumors and cant be proven until offically announced , but without rumors there would be nothing to discuss

Yeah Jardine has no business in there with Chuck but I think that's the point. They want someone who has a bit of a name but no legit chance of beating Chuck, so they can put him back in title contention or they want a big name fight where Chuck losing wouldn't be as huge of a deal (ie Wandy)

i know jardine beat forrest but i think forrest would have a better chance than jardine, hes developed alot since joining randy's camp, i would rather see that fight also, but i think regardless of who chuck fights it will sell well, and dana would rather use jardine than forrest who is coming off a nice win i think

[CEVANS]

yeah that makes sence i forgot how we are dealing with here (dena)

call me stupid but i thought if you win you get closer to a title fight (forest)
but i guess in the mind of the match makers and dena if you get laid the fuck out in the first round by a unknow then you get closer to a title fight hum makes sence

yep, they were talking him up like hes an animal, then he goes out and gets ktfo, dana must have been pissed..lol

[Eviltoes]

Why not Jardine and Forrest again.. I would enjoy either outcome.. Forrest Revenge or crazy knock out by Jardine.. winner gets Chuck! ( as much as a prize as that is )

I wonder if we will be saying that they really fucked up having Chuck fight Jardine, I hope not, but it's something to think about. I've always had mixed feelings about guys like Chuck in fights with a huge downside if they lose, but not much upside if they win.
