Tonight's UFC 96

Tonight at 9: Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, will take on Keith Jardine in Columbus, OH for UFC 96.

Winning this fight would be a huge step for Jackson if he's looking to regain his title. Jardine has taken down both Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell. 

The Fighters:

Jackson- 
  • First-round knockout of Wanderlei Silva in December
  • Read the latest interview with Rampage
  • Career duration- about 10 years
  • Has been training in the UK after switching camps in 2008
  • Record: 29-7-0

  • Weight: 205
Jardine-
  • Knocked out by Wanderlei Silva last May
  • Most recently took down Brandon Neva
  • Interview with Jardine

  • Has been training with Rashad Evans at Greg Jackson's gym in Albuquerque
  • Record:14-5-1
  • Height: 6'2''

My pick is Jardine, but Rampage will put up a good fight.
