110 in Australia??
They are making this a pretty decent card…This seems like a junk match-up IMO Bader and Jardine is not a exciting fight but we will see;)
Nog and Wandy for the win….
Akiyama and Maia to WW!!
Badr Hari is about to win a GP this weekend!!
You know, as much as people shit on recent seasons of TUF, Bader and Efrian definitely show some promise
nice fight
this will be tough for Bader…fairplay to the dude for taking it though!

If Jardine loses, this would be his 3rd loss on the trot….making it 1-4 in his last 5. He could very well be cut.

I dunno

If they cut Jardine then I would be surprised.
Like Jardine said, he’s one of the only guys that have faced serious elite competition.
Minus the one really bad anomaly in his record (the dramatic Houston Alexander loss) he’s been facing stiff competition since his Bonnar loss. Not too many fighters can say they fought top names like Silva, Jackson, Vera*, Silva and Liddell. (* Vera may be questionable, but he’s still a very dangerous fighter)

I don’t see Jardine winning this at all. Bader isn’t going to fool around on the feet. He’ll take this to the ground with relative ease and gnp his way to a TKO. Bader hits really hard and is very versatile on the ground. Jardine doesn’t have one hit KO power either for Bader to worry about too much.
Besides, theres always Jardine’s “legendary” chin.
This has trouble written all over it for the Dean.

Jardine’s chin? He really proved his mettle against Jackson, but that’s not saying much because Griffin lasted 5 rounds with Jackson.
Jardine has showed really tough takedown defense so there’s a strong chance that this fight will be a stand-up affair and in the clinch.
If Jardine can keep his distance like he did against Griffin and Liddell, utilize his strong, low leg kicks then I can see Jardine pulling off the W.

Tough test for Bader but, I don’t see him pulling this off against Jardine.
