"... I think they're making me a warm-up fight for Chuck...[laughs] but I don't think he's going to look at it like that ... match-ups make fights. Maybe Rampage is, uh, the way he matches up against Chuck He'll probably beat Chuck 7 out of 10 times. Chuck and me is a totally different fight. I think before or after the Rampage fight it doesn't matter. I think that I can surprise some people with some of the stuff I've learned ... as far as my game plan I never really have one. It can go to the ground I have my skills that I stick with. But I think now with my training and everything, I'm finally coming together into a complete well-rounded MMA fighter. I polished my boxing and everything is a lot better including my ground game. I think your going to see a totally different Keith Jardine ... it's going to be [a ver fan-friendly fight], definitely.... I beat Chuck that puts me in line right again for the title shot."
