Shark Fights 13: Keith Jardine vs Trevor Prangley booked for Sept. 11 in Lubbock

As expected, Keith Jardine has landed on his feet.
Less than a month after being released from the UFC following his TUF 11 Finale loss to Matt Hamill on June 19 in Las Vegas, "The Dean of Mean" has agreed to throw hands with another Octagon veteran when he takes on Trevor Prangley at Shark Fights 13 on Sept. 11 in Lubbock, Texas.
That's the word from Sherdog.com, who confirmed the pending match-up earlier today.
"The Mean 1" has dropped four consecutive bouts and six of his last eight over the span of three years. In addition to losing last month to "The Hammer," Jardine came up empty against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Thiago Silva, and Ryan Bader.
Not exactly the weakest competition -- but still not enough to keep the Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 2 contestant from getting the Zuffa pink slip.
How quickly Jardine gets back to the promised land depends largely on his success outside of the promotion. And he's certainly not taking the path of least resistance on Sept. 11.
After getting the boot from Canada's Maximum Fighting Championship for double-dipping in smaller promotions, Prangley ran roughshod over Dennis Reed at Arena Rumble and Marcus Sursa at Shark Fights 7 -- both within the span of three months.
Following a perfect 2009 fight campaign, the South African hit some major turbulence in 2010. His Strikeforce: "Challengers" bout with Karl Amoussou ended in a technical draw after the "Psycho" took an inadvertent eye poke and was unable to continue.
Just three-and-a-half months later, Prangley was choked unconscious by rising star Tim Kennedy, also under the Strikeforce banner when the promotion made a mid-week pit stop in Los Angeles back on June 16.
Recent troubles aside, Prangley is a well-traveled veteran with nearly ten years of experience.
Shark Fights is expected to make an official announcement regarding the September event in the coming days, including additional names signed for the pay-per-view telecast.
Keep it locked in to MMAmania.com for future updates to this still-developing fight card.

lots of people.
Jardine should have took a fight he can win. Prangley’s going to stop him.

i wonder if jardine chose shark fights specificly over strikeforce? i mean, i wonder if jardine thinks ‘uncle dana’ would be less likely to take him back if he signed SF?
either way, i feel this is a great fight for keith to take… while i agree that prangley should give him a run for his money, i also think this is a more evenly matched fight than most.. im glad jardine didn’t take on a ‘can’…… it shows he is still serious about the sport and wants to show zuffa he’s not scared to lose elsewhere………
formerly stinky~fingers
why the name change?
Got tired of ppl talking about Strikeforce (SF), and thinking it might me about you?
Anyways, I tend to agree. I’m really starting to wonder if Dana doesn’t say something along the lines of “If you do well, ya know we’d be glad to have you back, so long as you don’t go to Strikeforce”.
Something along those lines. That’d be enough to scare most out of it.

Nope, you are confusing caring with watching.
I’ll watch it forsure, just like i do most MMA I get my hands on online, but I sure as hell don’t care who wins.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
"Real fans of MMA care." I don't think this statement is true. I have no interest in watching Jardine fight now (same as when he was in the UFC). I don't care and I won't watch, either. And I consider myself a "real" fan of the sport.

More like his idiot fans. There was a Kimbo - Pudz thread yesterday and it vanished. Did you see it?

I did.
I was on my phone making a comment on it, went back to main page and it was gone. Probably because it was just a rumor.
Damn. I had some gold in that thread, too.

The fact that it was a rumor was enough to have it yanked.

I usually stay on MMA as a topic so I haven’t been asked not to do it yet.
If that was the reason it got “sliced” than all Tom/Jesse have to do is say Whooooa big fella.

don't sleep OJ. Prangley vs Jardine is a UFC Undercard calibre of fight.
you would be entertained.

Jardine has never been entertaining to me.

not to me either.
he’s never been the main guy in any of his fights, it’s always his opponent.
Come at me bro!
Roberto can you explain that to me
even though he isnt the main guy doesnt mean he isnt fun to watch?

Why Isn't The Mean One in Strikeforce???
Jardine lost many fights but he fought the Whos who of the stacked 205 Division. Names such as Rampage, Chuck, Forrest, Thiago, Hammil, W.Silva, Bader. I would have to say Jardine been there done that.Jardine should fight 1) King Mo, 2)Gegard Mousasi, 3) Sobral . If he was in Strikeforce
by Cory B on Jul 14, 2010 12:41 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Strikeforce doesnt need him or want him?
Why would you want someone whos been losing like hell lately overall Jardines record is not good no reason in having him in Strikeforce hes not a big draw. Prangley should take Jardine out and Prangley is a SF fighter so either way Jardines chances of fighting in a top promotion again are done(unless he wins of course, which is possible but unlikely).

I Would Assume SF
would at least put him on a challengers card. His name is bigger then Matt Lindlands.
by AintNoSunshine on Jul 14, 2010 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions
His manager did not WANT him in Strikeforce.
The proven way to return to the UFC is get some wins in a couple smaller shows, not go compete against them in the company that is directly trying to oppose them. This is smart, and Jardine show beat a natural middleweight.
'How's taste my pee pee pee?'
There are several strikeforce guys that dana would pick up in a heartbeat
Shields (most likely already there)
Melendez
Mousasi
Tim Kennedy
Jacare

true but...
correct me if i’m wrong, none have been in the UFC previously…seems to make a difference.
If he took Tito back after Affliction he'd take Hendo back after SF

Now that I think about it did Tito ever really sign with them or was it all "negotiations"?
by Swedish Chef smerdy herdy verdy on Jul 14, 2010 1:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Tito claimed he had the "deal of all deals" in place with Affliction.

want to see some funny shit? this kid in the pink shorts is the little brother of this girl i know
he shatters this dudes jaw who was calling his girlfriend a slut…the girl in the pink shirt works for me and showed me the video

the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...
that kid can eat a punch. Wow. He just opened up like a catchers mit to take that.
funny.

Ya that was a good shot, but,
now that its all over the web on you tube, the kid that got his head knocked off has got a pretty damn good law suit and the sluts boyfreind will more than likely be doin a little jail time. He’ll learn you don’t do that shit when a cameras on ya, dumbass.
that had to involve alcohol. that was the ugliest punch i’ve ever seen….ugly but effective.
by bighambone66 on Jul 14, 2010 12:32 AM EDT up reply actions
something i've learned from hearing girls getting called sluts... is that they are infact sluts, just the ones who get called slute..
kid doesnt need to force the guy to sleep if its most likely than true but it makes for good entertainment… and it looks like theres some abuse of alcohal in there too

not missing anything
Guy sucker punches another dude, who clearly doesn’t want any parts after being shoved to the ground, he gets up to explain or talk to the dude, but he just suckers him across the jaw and walks away all macho.
Gotta be solid to not square off with a guy and just smoke em, without agreeing to a fight. Big man. Hope he does get jail time.

looked like they were squared up to me
and the punch took 35 seconds to get there, he had plaenty of time to duck!
thats why I said the kid opened up like a catchers mit.
but I can side with Worby too.

You ever watch the show scrubs?
The character Dr. Perry Cox always calls the main protagonist different female names. Kinda reminds me of you haha… Great show.

From the UFC to Shark Fights
Wow. That must crush the ego.
Maybe the nipple tweak wasn’t a good thing afterall.

I'm watching it...
I live in Lubbuck. Shark fights is by no means a top notch organization. However, it’s a goal of mine to fight for them at some point in time. They have some legit fighters come through and they do have staying power. I’m stoked to have Jardine come to the LBK. I’m not going to lie, I’d love to meet the dude. You all can bash them for “moving down” to Shark fights, but I can guarantee you it will be a sold out crowd of over 5000 people easy.
....
This is an exciting match up…I wish it was on HDnet!

I take it you are already a professional or at least amateur fighter? From what I know Shark Fights is a very stable organization and actually looks out for fighters. Good luck getting a fight for them. There name is big enough to get you attention if your successful.

Thanks Bro
Ya I train here in LBK. I’m actually from a small town called Littlefield (hometown of Waylon Jennings) Shark Fights are legit to me and I’m definitely going to be front row.IF ya’ll ever make it down here to LBK, come by United Marshal Arts for a sparring session!

pumped!!!
for a smaller promoter… they sure have had some pretty damn big name fighters…plus it shows something huge that jardine came to shark fights and not someone like strikeforce.. i will def buy this fight… go Jardine!
PPV cost???
I have seen a Shark Fights event and they put on a great fight. Excited to see this match up. Wonder what the cost will be? UFC charges way too much for their fights. Not even worth it half the time. I hope Shark Fights (love that name) doesn’t get all uppity and charge so much that regular people like me can’t afford it. I am happy that someone picks up some of my favorite fighters instead of kicking them to the curb! So sick of UFC being the only top dog promoter – it’s annoying.
