Jardine Unsure Who's No. 1 Light Heavy

Typically, most people automatically say whoever holds the title in the UFC is the No. 1 guy in that division, at least in the UFC, right?

Well, Keith Jardine isn't so sure... and that's not because he's bragging and saying that he is the No. 1 guy in the UFC's 205-pound division.

Obviously referring to a crazy round-robin of wins and losses, the UFC's light heavyweight division does make for some strange MMA math. Rampage beat Liddell who beat Wanderlei who beat Jardine who beat Forrest who beat Rampage and is the champ. Say what?!

"This was a huge fight," said Jardine after his win over Brandon Vera at UFC 89 before adding, "The division is weird. Forrest (Griffin) is the champ right now, but who knows who the best guy is? It could be the number one guy. It could be the number ten guy. There's a lot of undefeated guys. There's a lot of guys coming up. I think it's going take a year or so to sort this thing out."

By that logic the number one light heavyweight in the UFC is Lyoto Machida, since he is unbeaten.

Machida sucks ass. He's freaking boring. He hasn't done enough to get a title shot. Beat Chuck, Rampage, Silva - pick one, beat some real names, then we'll see. Until then, he's a lack luster HACK!

Um, nobody wants Machida because he's a super difficult opponent for anyone at 205. He's undefeated, he needs to fight whoever they make the #1 contender.

Not sure how you can call a guy who's finishes his fights boring...

Lyoto Machia is boring. Yes, he's undefeated. But his elusive fighting style, as effective as it may be, is boring. Majority of his fights go to judges decision. In my opinion, that's why the UFC hasn't pushed up the rankings in 205. No disrespect, because I sure wouldn't want to fight the guy but Dana White and the UFC wants poster boy fighters that have majority ko's or submissions that they can advertise as the biggest and the baddest of the world. It's what pays the bills and keeps the crowd coming.

this is the way i see it...
liddel beat wandy, but then lost to evans. so liddel is out.
i think they should put
Rashad Vs Jardine.. i know they are from the same camp but its business.
Rampage Vs Wandy winner fights the winner of Rashad Vs Jardine. so the winner takes on Forrest and is now the number one Guy!!
Machida Is boring and he sucks!!! lol and Machida dont finish fights!
hes only finished one fight and that was against Sokodju...

machida, rashad, thiago, rampage, wandy, jardine, chuck, forrest...

Nothing boring about how machida slammed tito and punched him in the face 50 times, choked out sodjuoku, knocked out franklin, etc..

yeah its not what you have done outside the UFC. it what you do inside the UFC. machida needs to finish fights. Machida almost got submitted with a trinagle choke against tito! we will see how he does againt thiago silva.
