Keith Jardine Dropping to Middleweight, Wants Cung Le
Former UFC and current Strikeforce fighter Keith Jardine is dropping to middleweight, and he has one name on his mind for a debut fight at 185 - former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le. Le has been campaigning for a fight in the UFC, but Jardine wants to duke it out in a Strikeforce cage. He had a lot to say to MMA Weekly about Le:
"Just looking out there, they need to get a fight for me, and it needs to be a big named guy, I want it to be a big named guy. Looking at Strikeforce seeing who they’ve got and there’s not much bigger than Cung Le. I thought that would be a great match-up."
...
"He’s a stand-up fighter. Mousasi doesn’t count cause I had 8 days to train for that, but I want to fight a stand-up fighter, I’ve mostly been fighting wrestler/brawler types. I think it would be a real fun fight," said Jardine.
"Just to face a guy that you don’t really have to worry about the takedown that much, he’s just going to go in and throw a lot of kicks, and throw a lot of bombs, it just makes for a fun fight for me. A lot of my past few fights are punch, punch, defend the takedown. Sprawl and brawl."
The news that Jardine was dropping to MW completely escaped me in the first place, so this is quite interesting. Still though, it seems to me that despite what Scott Coker says, it's highly unlikely we'll be seeing Cung Le in a Strikeforce cage any time soon. So Jardine will have to look for another middleweight to tangle with. If he wants a standup fight, how about Robbie Lawler for instance?

LOL Jardine... Give it up and join the circus, ass face.
Life sucks when you can't afford to retire.. I respect Jardine a lot he fought so many great fighters in the UFC and had some big wins..
UFC cuts so many fighters that can be filling in the under-cards.. And these guys are making chump change..
What a shame. Howard had serious potential imo, and Winner was fun to watch at least. I don't understand why the UFC isn't doing weekly free shows with some of these guys. Advertising dollars, exposure, etc. I just don't get it.
Excellent point.. Some of these cuts baffle me.. Guys getting cut are making next to nothing and you gotta fill out these fight cards.. Most of their pay-day is coming from whatever sponsors they can get.. Maybe it's their excuse to give us almost nothing for free on TV..
That half point rule is even worse cause it gives more room for individual viewing.
if one fightere was more dominant give him 10-8 round.
Damn you can go even down to a 10-5 round

Zuffa has reportedly cut Marloes Coenen, John Einemo and Valentijn Overeem according to Golden Glory coach Martijn de Jong. Is this a shot at Golden Glory after the release of Alistair Overeem, or is this a message that Strikeforce is being disolved and the UFC has no interest in women's mma? http://twitter.com/#!/martijndej/st...40756541480960
SF getting bought out basically sucks.. They put on some good fights but the UFC monopoly keep on trucking..
Former 'Ultimate Fighter' Winner Joe Stevenson Released from the UFC http://ht.ly/5VISr #MMA #UFC
good he in' blows
Strikeforce will get folded into the UFC by the end of the year and that will be the end of any mma league not named UFC
not true
There are many mma leagues that will do just fine. But UFC will have the best fighters and all the stars.
Those minor leagues will just promote the fighters and gives the chance to make a name and catch attention of the UFC
He's been life-less his last few fights.. He deserved to get cut after his last one especially..
Sonnen needs his own sound bit thread.. says the LHW division is a joke
this is a must watch..
Fedor to keep fighting
Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko doesn't want to go out with a loss.
Emelianenko, recently shed from Zuffa's roster after suffering his third consecutive defeat, will fight again, management company M-1 Global announced Monday. Officials hope to hold the bout in Moscow or St. Petersburg in the fall, M-1 said.
"We consulted with Fedor and it was decided that he should not leave the sport in this way," said Vadim Finkelstein, M-1 Global president. "His friends and past opponents support Fedor in continuing his career and he agreed."
An opponent will be determined later, Finkelstein said.
After years as the consensus No. 1 heavyweight in mixed martial arts, Emelianenko has seen his fortunes spiral downward in Strikeforce since his last win, in November 2009. He mulled retirement after Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva defeated him in February, but decided to return for a July 30 fight with the much smaller Dan Henderson.
Strikeforce released Emelianenko after Henderson knocked him out. But Emelianenko has a contract with the Showtime network, which also carries M-1 events.
M-1 also hopes to feature Emelianenko on a Dec. 31 card in Japan. New Year's Eve traditionally is the biggest night of the year for the Japanese MMA industry.
