Jackson look horrible. He should have thrown some uppercuts while he was in the clinch. He’s going to get destroyed by Evans. Jardine’s footwork was good, but considering how he gassed, there’s no excuse for Jackson.
R:3 A:4 S:3 T:3
I don’t know why people are making a big deal about Jackson and Jardine fighting. Rashad has the title and is undefeated. Keith is someone people didn’t even think deserved a fight with Rampage. They’re on totally different levels. The only reason for them to fight is if it was for the title and Jardine is never getting a title shot.
As far as Rampage/Evans, you can already see Jackson knows he’s going to loose that fight. I personally hope they make that fight first, cause if Evans fights Machida first, we might not get to see that fight. And the way Rampage has looked in his last fights (which, JDH, is not good), Evans is going to destroy him.
I suspect they will delay the Evans/Jackson fight in order to make it happen because it is such a draw.
There seems to be some controversy regarding Rashad’s commentating of this fight. I’m not sure what the expectation was. I don’t see how anyone would expect him to be neutral. Given that, I would have preferred he not be in the both all together, but I certainly enjoyed his presence in the cage afterwards when he faced off with Jackson.
