When he saw UFC matchmaker Joe Silva’s number come up on his caller ID, Keith Jardine knew exactly what the call was about; he was being released by the UFC.
He didn’t spend much time to dwell on the setback, though.
After all, not more than 48 hours after the call, Jardine was booked for a main event gig at Saturday’s Shark Fights 13 pay-per-view event in Amarillo, Texas.
