UFC 96 - Jackson vs. Jardine

post-40273-1234707214_thumb.jpg

Date Time: Mar-7-2009 3am GMT on Setanta Sports

Event Type: International Event

Location: Nationwide Arena, OH

Description: Former UFC? Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was at his devastating best last December as he settled his score with Wanderlei Silva via a chilling first round knockout. On Saturday, March 7, Jackson will look to move one step closer to regaining his title when he takes on the man who beat both Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin, Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine. For the third year in a row, the Ultimate Fighting Championship? is heading back to Columbus, Ohio for UFC 96: JACKSON vs. JARDINE, live from the Nationwide Arena on Saturday, March 7, 2009 on Setanta Sports.

Fight Card:

* Quinton Jackson vs. Keith Jardine

* Shane Carwin vs. Gabriel Gonzaga

* Matt Hamill vs. Mark Munoz

* Gray Maynard vs. Jim Miller

* Mike Patt vs. Brandon Vera

* Ryan Madigan vs. Tamdan McCrory

* Tim Boetsch vs. Jason Brilz

* Jason Day vs. Kendall Grove

* Matt Brown vs. Pete Sell

* Shane Nelson vs. Aaron Riley

This is definately more like it! (See UFC 95!:p:p

Apparently Dana White said in The Sun this week that the winner of the main event will get a title shot ahead of the, IMO, very deserving Lyoto Machida. I still find it hard to see how Jardine could deserve a shot because he has been so up and down. He might have beaten Liddell but then got KO'd big time by both Houston Alexander and Wanderlei Silva. Again it remains to be seen what Jardine turns up, but either way I see Rampage as being too strong for him.

I really hope the Carwin/Gonzaga match up is as explosive as it sounds. I think this is the first major player Carwin has gone up against and it'll be interesting to see if his size plays a part against the also big Gonzaga.

That's certainly better then UFC 95 :p

Rampage will beat Jardine, I am always surprised how the dean of mean keeps popping up :p

I actually prefer the 95 card but Jardine has beaten and lost to the top guys so right now this fight makes sense.....

Jardine beat Forrest

Forrest beat Rampage

Wand beat Jardine

Rampage revenged against Wand

and for s and giggles :laugh: both Jardine and Rampage beat Liddell...(can't stand him since 2002)

Rappy c'mon seems like you kinda follow mma, you should know better then to make a statement like that.

Been a hell of a long time since ive ventured around these parts.. Definately a better line up than UFC 95, not to say it wasnt a good event because it did suprise me, but this has got good undercard fights and a pretty solid televised card..

Im a huge Brandon Vera fan, the guy is awesome, but his last few fights have been lackluster, hopefully he'll pull out a good performance.

About time Gray got on the televised card too..

definitely looking forward to this. i like rampage, but jardine always causes trouble when he's not supposed to. although i kinda feel bad for him too, he is sort of that light heavyweight journey man, some big wins, some big losses, but never THE man. never really in the spotlight, always looked over. doesn't have flashy moves, etc.

Brandon Vera huh... well too bad he's on the undercard....

He's that close to being cut from the UFC.

Rappy,

Yes this may be true but I could assume you do so just because you're a moderator but anyhow I made statement like that because I'm huge on MMA forums and what you statement is really farfetch.. but anyhow thats your statement so...so be it.. I accept it.. just wow'd by it.

Unkoil

i'm not sure yet if i'm gonna get this ppv or not.

Yea sometimes its hard if you want to dish out $50 for one, but luckly every PPV its on my buddies pad with group of people, so it turns out to be cheap. $10 gets me pizza and PPV (BYOB)

This was a great event.. I thought the main event could have gone either way if not for the last 15 seconds. Matt Hamill's win was incredibly shocking.. i never would have seen that coming, glad he got the 60k bonus. Vera looked incredibly sharp, fast, and very focused. Joe Rogan said it best in the ppv, that the problem with Vera is that he should have been at LHW this whole time, that's his proper weight class, and it's the only reason for his lackluster performances. But now that he's been at the correct weight and looking incredibly fit, he's gonna be a problem for a lot of LHW's. He will not get cut from the UFC, just because he was on the undercard, don't fool yourself. So was Jon Fitch, and he's an amazing fighter. But Vera has too much of a fan base due to his charisma that if given a few straight wins he could definitely be a star.

The Gonzaga fight.. although i was rooting for him, i picked Carwin for the win. It was Gonzaga's error that made him lose the fight.. he cause Carwin with 2 heavy punches that rocked him in the first few seconds. it rocked him hard, but instead of continuing punching him, he clinched which gave carwin recovery time. Still a shocking KO.

Shane Carwin vs. Gabriel Gonzaga

It was funny, they were talking about his 10 - 0 achievment of not having a match go longer then 1:45 in round one. Then i looked like he was about to lose and i turned my friends and said "When you are 10-1, not having a match go longer then 1:45 in the first round dosn't sound quite as amazing".

I was really suprised how that fight ended. Carwin took him down with such a short punch to. Imagin if that was a full swing.

So since carwin won, how close is he to a title match? or is he still far off. I know Mir and Lesner fight next, I think Lesner is screwed although i would like to see him keep it.

As far as I know the Frank Mir versus Brock Lesnar match has been cancelled due to the fact Mir suffered an injury during training. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I saw it on The Score.

Seems like most likely date for their match would be UFC 100.

It depends on Joe Silva... and Carwin's next two matches and if he wins how exciting his wins are..

He's 2-3 matches away.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
