Thiago Silva speaks to Tatame about having his opponent switched and getting a win:
I wanted to fight griffin, I think it was a good fight for me, but Jardine is also a good fight and I can’t pick up fights for me. I’m coming from a loss and I have to win, put my money on the pocket and renew my contract… I have to keep my job, right?
Hmm...seems as Thiago Silva is beginning to feel the pressure a little bit in terms of winning his next fight. I don't think the UFC would cut him after 2 back to back losses, but I think he realizes that you can't take anything for granted. Then again, if this is the last fight on his UFC contract, he could lose a ton of leverage in terms of if the UFC wants to bring him back. I think Jardine takes this, what say you?

I actually think his caveman powerpunching style might be dangerous for Jardine based on the Alexander and Silva fights. Don’t think Thiago is as dynamic a striker as those 2 though. All things said I’m leaning towards Jardine.
No matter who wins this one both Jardine and Thiago are excellent tests for up-and-comers in the division.
Bloody hell.
Definitely Jardine….in terms of excellent tests for up and comers…I’m just not sold(never have been) on Thiago Silva…I’d like to see him and Steve Cantwell matchup….
