I didn't think it was a bad idea and turns out the hunch was true. Should be a good fight. Forrest will probably outweigh Silva by a good 25lbs before bell time though and that's not a good thing.
They just announced that Jardine is facing Thiago Silva at 102.

I'd have to put my money on Silva since he overwhelms opponents but I'm hesitant since this is Jardine's fight after a loss which going by his career as of late (win-loss-win-loss) makes him a shoe in to win.
