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.

Today’s weigh-in ceremonies took place at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino, the same site as Thursday night’s GoFightLive.tv-broadcast fight card.

Main-event competitors Kyacey Uscola and former WEC light heavyweight
champion Doug “The Rhino” Marshall, who meet in a middleweight special
attraction, made their bout official, while Tachi Palace Fights
middleweight title contenders Anthony Ruiz and Leopoldo Serao did the
same. In fact, all 18 fighters on the card – including big-show veterans
“Razor” Rob McCullough, Corey Hill, Diego Saraiva and Micah Miller -
all made weight on their first trip to the scale.

And while he’s keeping his fingers crossed that he’ll be able to meet an obligation to fight Shinya Aoki at DREAM.16 on Sept. 25, it all depends on whether his injury subsides enough to fight.

“Right now, it looks like I can’t fight a girl,” he told MMAjunkie.com.
