I think his stock went up as much as any of the fighters' tonight.
No sh*t.

A pessimistic way of looking at it is that Wanderlei just did something that Alexander was able to do to Jardine....but, still, that was a statement for sure. I think the book is out on Jardine, I really do. Attack him, quick and hard. Chuck's laid back, counterpunching style didn't work. Of course, you can't get caught by him, either, like Forrest did. Jardine has good, strong leg kicks and is a decent fighter, but he doesn't cover that big chin too well.
Wanderlei is already a fan favourite among UFC fans. He may not be at Chuck's level but he's not that far behind IMO. He could lose his next fight and still be marketable in the UFC. He knows that, too.
Wandy didn't even get to test out his cardio.
