A welterweight matchup between Brock Kardine (9-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Kenny Robertson (11-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) is the latest addition to February's seemingly full UFC 157 card.
Officials recently announced the fight.
UFC 157 takes place Feb. 23 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Jardine vs. Robertson likely will be part of the prelims.
Jardine fights for the first time since June, when the Canadian made his promotional debut and suffered a lopsided unanimous-decision loss to Rick Story at UFC on FX 4. Prior to joining the UFC, Jardine, a member of the Pit Elevated Fight Team, had won three straight fights, all via stoppage. A TKO victory over WEC vet Blas Avena eventually earned him the late-notice opportunity against Story.
He now takes on Robertson, who's also searching for his first UFC win. After a 10-0 start to his career, he signed with the UFC and fought Mike Pierce at UFC 126, where he suffered a TKO loss. He then left the organization and picked up a spinning-backfist KO of UFC vet Lucio Linhares. That earned him an invitation back to the UFC, but he most recently suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Aaron Simpson at UFC on FUEL TV 4.
The latest UFC 157 card now includes:
Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche - for women's bantamweight title
Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida
Urijah Faber vs. Ivan Menjivar
Lavar Johnson vs. Brendan Schaub
Josh Koscheck vs. Robbie Lawler
Neil Magny vs. Jon Manley*
Court McGee vs. Josh Neer
Mike Chiesa vs. Anton Kuivanen
Manny Gamburyan vs. Chad Mendes
Dennis Bermudez vs. Matt Grice
Caros Fodor vs. Sam Stout
Brock Jardine vs. Kenny Robertson
