UFC light heavyweight Keith Jardine will not make an appearance at UFC 96 in Columbus, Ohio after all. Jardine was widely rumored to be in the running for a rematch with former light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell, but MMAInsider in late December confirmed that was not the case.
On Wednesday, a source close to Jardine said the Greg Jackson-trained fighter was recently moved back to UFC 97 on Apr. 18 in Montreal, Canada. No opponent has been named for his appearance.
So far, no match-ups have been confirmed for the UFC's second incursion into Canadian territory, but a rumored bout between Anderson Silva and Thales Leites remains a possibility. Canadians David Loiseau and Jonathan Goulet are also expected to be on the card. Goulet is rumored to face Tamdan McRory.
Jardine last took home a split decision victory over Brandon Vera at UFC 89. He is 6-3 in the organization after his stint on the second season of "The Ultimate Fighter."

Its rumored that Luis Arthur Cane will be fighting Jardine.
That's a very bad fight for Jardine Luis Arthur Cane is no joke. I really like Jardine but I do think it might be time for him to leave Jackson's camp and get in some new training now that Evens is champ he won't get jackson's full attention.
I would like to see jardine and Forrest or even Stephen go at it again or even Jackson but the fight with Chuck would suck. I hear that he might fight Cantwell
