Saturday night’s Shark Fights 13 card was viewed by many as being the first leg of Keith Jardine’s journey back to the UFC after receiving his release last June. However, by the end of the show “The Dean of Mean” had taken two steps back rather than one forward towards his goal of returning to the Octagon.

Jardine found himself on the wrong side of a split-decision to opponent Trevor Prangley at the event after being dropped early with strikes, then battling back in the bout’s closing moments with a late flurry leaving Prangley somewhat stunned but ultimately unfinished. As a result of the outcome, the 15-9-1 Greg Jackson staple has now notched losses in five consecutive bouts and in seven of his last nine in-ring appearances.

His opponent, Prangley, improved his record to 23-6-1 with the performance and is now 6-1-1 in his previous eight bouts.

Like Jardine, fellow light heavyweight Houston Alexander found himself in trouble during his respective bout’s opening frame but was more successful at overcoming the damage sustained. Alexander appeared to be fighting on fumes after absorbing a few clean shots from Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou early in the fight. However, the tables quickly turned in the second round, as Alexander put Sokoudjou on the canvas with a series of punches against the cage and eventually pounded him out for the TKO win.

The victory brought Alexander’s record to 11-6 while Sokoudjou is now 9-7 in his career.

But as has become commonplace lately, readers - including this week's winner Ben "Mouthamatics" from the U.K. - instead continued the debate about wrestling's dominance in MMA and whether it's really a problem that requires changes to the sport.

AMARILLO, Texas - Dominant wrestling has cost Paul Daley dearly.

This year alone, it cost him a title shot with UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre, a coaching stint on "The Ultimate Fighter 12," a win over Josh Koscheck, and ultimately, his UFC contract.

So Daley - one of the more vocal opponents of "boring wrestlers" - found a little humor in the way he defeated a game Jorge Masvidal at Saturday's Shark Fights 13 event.

Trevor Prangley earned a split decision victory over Keith Jardine in the main event of last nights Shark Fights 13 event.

AMARILLO, Texas - It's tough to say what the most impressive part of
Shark Fights light heavyweight champion Trevor Prangley's win over Keith
Jardine at Shark Fights 13 really was.

His armbar defense in the opening round of Saturday's fight looked nice,
and his counterpunching was effective against the always hard-to-hit
Jardine.

But perhaps the two most enduring images from the fight are Prangley
flashing a wide grin at Jardine after taking a flush hook to the jaw
in the opening round and the South African standing tall to a barrage of
desperate strikes in the final minute. Prangley said it was his chin,
adequately shown in those moments, that proved essential for victory.
