Greg Jackson: Keith Jardine UFC 84 loss to Wanderlei Silva 'completely my fault' (Video)

The only way it is Greg’s fault is if he accepted the fight on Jardine’s behalf!!

hahhaahaha to Jardine for thinking he is even on Silva’s level….just because he lost a few fights, that boy can still BEAT ANYONE in the LHW division!!

WAR WANDI….IS BACK

Mani would have cried for a week if Jardine had beat Wandi…well maybe not cry but i would have been devestated

Why isn’t ihis clothing company called Wandy then? Oh its because it sounds stupid.

And if you could step down off your equal opportunities soapbox for one moment and read my comment again i don’t have a go at people who are of that way inclined.

Each to their own, go and be happy is the way i look at it.

Just for a bad ass fighter to be refered to as Wandy sounds wrong, more a name Paris Hilton would give a small dog.

LOL, "equal opportunities soapbox", I don’t know what that means but it sounds funny. Listen, you don’t have to refer to a fighter by his somewhat nick name 100% correct. Wanderlei Silva is called many things, the axe murderer, cachorro louco (mad dog), wandy (this seems to make you cringe for some reason, I wonder why…), wandi, wand and vand. I can really care less if someone refers to him in either of the way mentioned above, when referring to fighters I can only agree we should all get their NAMES right, but when someone shortens it, it does not matter. Are you also going to tell me calling sokoudjou "SOKO" is also wrong? And maybe henderson "HENDO" is just as wrong? Nogueira’s "Big Nog" and "lil Nog". I could go on and on… But somehow you only have a problem with the word WANDY… Really makes me wonder what the problem is. We’re just shortening his name, I’m not thinking of his clothing company, go buy yourself plenty of underwear that says WAND if you want to (you know you want to).

haha..LMAO!..This conversation ^^ Just made my day…..good stuff :)

btw? I have some freinds named Randy, Benny, Jimmy. Do they qualify as gay sounding people??lol.

“equal opportunities soapbox” .lol-that was the best part!
I dont know what that means either??, but I must know..

Ok ok people think this got a bit out of hand!

It is just the Y on the end that annoys me, sounds to chirpy and happy go lucky, not very accurate for Wanderlei Silva.

Its not the nicknames just the Y. There must be someone out there who feels my pain.

For all you out there…

A soapbox was what people stood on in the town squares in olden England to stand above everyone else and shout their opinions in public meetings (oh yeah i was listening at school that day!) just thought it was appropriate for Linx’s comment!!!

WAR WANDYYYYYYYYYYYY

LMAO, we learn new things everyday, I’m getting some English history in a MMA forum. Sorry if I sounded so hard headed Nick J, I wasn’t really trying to impose my reasons on you, I was just really trying to understand how a Y in the end of a name makes it seem less aggressive. The aggression we see from wandy surpasses anything else, may it be his nick name (given by ppl in forums such as ourselves). I mean, just listen to him speak outside the ring, he sounds like a nice person, but once he is inside the cage he’s all business and we all can see that fire in his eyes. Even if his name was Dana we would still see that aggression coming out of him. It really matters not his name, but his character inside and outside the ring that makes him who he is. so let me go out on a limb here and do as you did LMAO…………..

WAR wannnnnnnnnnnD!!!

Ok pal, agree to what your saying, i’m being a bit over the top… been a long day!

PS. I lost a chunk on Wilson Gouveia. Goran Reljik has some SERIOUS kicks!

I only bet on the 5 ppv fights and I won 600 bucks on Wand,Machida,Silva and BJ…But unfortunatly my highest bet was on Wil, and I too lost a chunk of cash, on account of Reljic…dude lost me $200..

btw; not sure if you know VM, but apparently you picked all losers accept Reljic..I knew it was some troll…Go back and read on the Donald trump thread and you will know what I am talking about.

HUH?

I definately thought Wandy was going to lose that fight, I was so nervous, up untill about 10 seconds into the fight anyway. lol

on top of what b.w. said, it’s also funny. did you see jacob getting owned? LMAO.

I think a lot of people, myself included, believe that Ortiz plays up his Hispanicness or Hispanicity strictly for marketing purposes. Referring to him as Jacob takes away that little ploy.

PW. exactly! thats why alot of people dont like him because he is a phoney!

I am the one who originally started this whole Jacob thing, and my reasoning is the same as PW’s

Let Wanderlei fight Rampage after he hurts Forrest. They gave Forrest a title shot after beating Shogun, so Wandy should get the next shot, after all he has brutalized Rampage twice already!

i wouldnt complain if they gave the forrest/rampage winner to wandi, but i do think machida deserves it 1rst. they could give it to chuck from his win over wandi but that wouldnt be fair either.

I’m sure that Tito is now coming up with a ploy to negate your counter strikes of calling him Jacob. Maybe he’ll start going by Tito Rodriguez Ortiz.

It seemed a little silly to me that people all of a sudden started calling him Jacob, but whatever get’s your rocks off I guess.

Somebody has to get the next shot at Rampage, I mean the Rampage-Forrest winner. I think Machida should get the next shot without having to win another fight.

Machida beat Tito, which is hardly a top ten. You need to beat a top ten, before you get a number 1 contender slot. It happens faster if you do it in dominant fashion and Machida did not, and almost got beat at the end. If Chuck wins his next fight, he would most likely be number 1 contender having beat 2 top 5 LHW Wandy and Shogun back to back.

Are we sure he is fighting Shogun next? A torn hamsting can heal a lot faster than the type of operation that Shogun had. I figured Chuck may take another fight before then. Maybe a rematch with Jardine?

Really….? I don’t fancy watching WANDI swing bombs whilst Machida just swings out of the way occaisionally jabbing him or throwing kicks from outside of range!

yeah, but wandy is not going to posture back and play into machida’s game, he’ll keep going forth until he get’s machida in the clinch, after that it will be lights out!

Nice. I would LOVE to see him KTFO and watch him do his stupid taunt dance because his legs are buckling from Silva smashing his jaw.

The rematch makes PERFECT sense now that they are both coming off of devastating KO losses.

I agree with Mike. I was thinking the same thing with Reljic. He is expected to have a few holes since he has never fought or most likely never trained with anyone like Wilson G. and Reljic’s kicks were phenomenal and has an insane reach, 82’ I think it was. I can see this kid coming around to be something great. If you cant see the potential in Reljic, you may need to see an eye doctor.

Agreed I think Machida just fights a really intelligent fight. I actually find it exciting when all of a sudden he sees an opening and exposes it. That knee to Ortiz`s ribs was a perfect example, it just came out of nowhere. It makes much more sense by fighting a good smart fight than just going in there and getting hit. I think it will be a while before somebody beats him, unless he gets restless and gets caught in a submission or something. But I do agree that he wouldnt be a very entertaining champion in terms of trash talking and such.

And that highly worries me, being a huge Rampage fan and all. But, because I’m such a fan, I also won’t mind if he does fight and lose, because then he can smash Wandy for some good old revenge, then shut up all the Liddell boys by smashing him for a third time. lol

Rampage SMASH!!

it’s not against the rules, if it was, than a RNC would also be against the rules.

Yeah but thats using your forearm & bicep around the windpipe not your fingers and palm like Silva was.

I don’t know, I never heard about not blocking the windpipe with the hands/fingers. You can block someone’s breathing by covering their mouth and nose I’m sure this would fall in the same catagory. no one can fully strangle someone with one hand, unless they put preasure in their fingers, but wandy was just resting his weight in his hand so jardine would stop trying to get up.

I think he was just holding his head in place to smash him, I dont think he was strangling him at all. I may be wrong but that my opinion.

If I recall the rules correctly, you can’t attack the trachea by pinching it between your fingers and thumb, but if your fingers and thumb are around the neck with the only pressure on the trachea coming from the pressure from the base of the thumb then that’s legal.
