Coming off a three-round classic against former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Keith Jardine (fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) has been in some memorable UFC matches. With wins over former UFC champions Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin, Jardine has compiled six victories in the UFC. The Butte, Montana native will need all that experience against the very dangerous Thiago Silva (fighting out of Sao Paulo, Brazil). With a 13-1 professional mixed martial arts record and winner of four of his first five UFC matches, the 26-year-old light heavyweight has earned stoppages in all of his Octagon™ wins.

One fighter that is sure to have the crowd in his corner is Portland-born Chris Leben (fighting out of Oahu, Hawaii). A veteran of 12 UFC matches, the heavy-handed middleweight striker has won two of his last three matches and five overall by KO/TKO. The 29-year-old will need to be well versed in all aspects of MMA when he faces three-time NCAA Division I national champion wrestler Jake Rosholt (fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.). An Oklahoma State University graduate and four-time All-American, Rosholt carries a 5-1 record in his young mixed martial arts career and the 26-year-old Sand Point, Indiana product looks for his first UFC win when he faces the hometown fighter.

A matchup that is sure to have title shot implications is the fight between Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts Nate Marquardt (fighting out of Denver, Colo.) and Demian Maia (fighting out of Sao Paulo, Brazil). A veteran of over 40 MMA matches, Marquardt has the credentials, experience and at only 30 years old, the tools to be UFC middleweight champion. But for a fighter that is coming off two straight TKO victories against Martin Kampmann and Wilson Gouveia, Marquardt will have to bring his A-game to make it No. 3 when he touches gloves against Maia. A UFC veteran that has been nothing short of deadly on the ground, Demian Maia has five UFC matches, five wins and five submission victories. A perfect 11-0 record as a mixed martial artist and a world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Maia’s time is now and the 31-year-old is making a big name for himself in the UFC.
