UFC 97 - Keith Jardine lined up to take on Luiz Cane

UFC light heavyweight contender, Keith Jardine will not be making an appearance at UFC 96 as expected, but instead will resurface at UFC 97, most likely against the ever dangerous Luiz Cane.

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.

Although no opponent has been named, MMABay can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that Brazilian Luiz Cane has been lined up to meet Jardine in what is set to be a fantastic fight for the fans.

It was originally thought that Jardine would take on Chuck Liddell at UFC 96 in a rematch of their September 2007 fight that saw Liddell lose a close decision.
