Shark Fights Champ Trevor Prangley Talks Keith Jardine

Prangley talks to MMA Weekly about his recent loss to Tim Kennedy and why this one will be different:
"I had a full camp for the first time in three fights. I'm back to where I want to be and where I should be for a fight of this size," he said.
"I realized that I need a six-week camp. I can't be doing these two-and-a-half, three-week notices, a weight cutting camp instead of a training camp."
He also says that he won't be bulking up for this fight and that he believes not having to cut weight will make up for the disadvantage in size. Then he goes on to talk about his opponent, Keith Jardine:
"I've always said I'm a 185er. To be honest with you, I prefer to not fight guys the caliber of Keith Jardine at 205. The fight was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. High risk yields high rewards."
...
"I don't care what the guy's record is. I've seen him fight; everybody has seen him fight. He's super dangerous. Just because the guy has a bad luck fight or gets caught a couple of times doesn't mean anything. It doesn't make you any less of a danger in the ring."
The Prangley-Jardine fight should be a fun match between a wrestler with decent striking and a striker with good take down defense. It's exactly the sort of fight between fighters who are no longer quite at the highest levels of the sport but still draw intense fan interest that justifies the existence of promotions like Shark Fights.

Nice of Trevor to say
But I think a lot of people have “solved” Jardine’s style and hopefully he has too, if he wants to win.
Jardine's been beaten by better technical strikers
but has been pretty hard to handle with a straight up take down + ground and pound attack as Prangley favors.

Jardine gets too much grief
He’s a tough fight for anyone. People quickly forget that he beat Chuck before everyone was doing it and he gave Rampage all he could handle in their fight.
People act like Keith Jardine is some kind of can or easy fight when nothing could be farther from the truth.

this is true
although for a guy his level, he does seem overly susceptible to getting iced by strikers

Hamill is a better technical striker?
I’m just picking on ya Nate, Jardine should take this one Prangley will prolly get the takedown but he ain’t gonna be able to do anything with it.

Why hasn't Jardine been having full camps? 6 weeks? Don't alot of fighters do 8?
Also, I’m surprised that Jackson would let him go fight unprepared with a short camp 3 times in a row.
