Former UFC light heavyweight contender
Keith Jardine will return to competition on March 4, as he takes on Maximum Fighting Championship veteran
Aron Lofton in a to-be-named event at the Route 66 Casino outside Albuquerque, N.M.
The event -- which will also feature the MMA debut of decorated boxer
Holly Holm, as she squares off with
Christina Domke -- will be co-promoted by Casino 66 and Fresquez Productions and will go down from the Legends Theater inside the casino. Jardine on Saturday spoke exclusively with Sherdog about his bout and the event.
“It’s a pretty big deal. If you don’t know Holly, she’s pound-for-pound the best boxer in the world and one of the greatest all-time. We’re still in the beginning stages [of planning the event], but I’m hoping to stream at least the two main events online. I’m trying to work that out so everyone can watch,” Jardine told Sherdog. “I don’t know much about [my opponent] yet, but I’ve heard he’s a pretty tough guy. He’s really athletic, and it should be a good fight.”
Jardine, who trains at Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts in Albuquerque, says he is motivated to once again perform in front of a hometown crowd.
