CompuNate Breakdown: These Breakdowns are something I do with my free time as a fan of the sport, with the goal to improve the level of debate and knowledge on the boards. It is not my intention or proclamation that these Breakdowns are the end of discussion about these competitive bouts. Rather, it is my hope that by providing easily accessible and accurate information that my breakdowns will be used as a tool in these debates.
It should not be a surprise to any martial arts fan that judging is very subjective. As such, I cannot deny that anyone can have an argument against my numbers. However, I create these breakdowns without a bias towards any fighter, so I do not believe that my interpretation of strikes (Provided after the official fight tallies) or any other tally gives an advantage to any fighter.

4:26 – Bonnar causes Jardine's legs to buckle with 2 punch combo, follows w/ rear naked choke. He does drop Jardine but he is recovering before he lands on his knees. I’d give the submission a 2 out of 5 stars. He never attempts/secures body control. He starts with his forearm securely under Jardine’s chin, but just uses his right arm to push the head down instead of locking his arms together. Jardine bends forward dropping Bonnar on his head and causing him to temporarily use his right arm to regain balance. Jardine uses this opportunity to roll himself to the side and push his head out of Bonnar’s left arm. The sprawl leads to a clinch on the fence. Jardine has a cut on the left side of his bottom lip from the combination.
3:55 – During the clinch, Jardine does grab the fence during an attempted Bonnar takedown. BJM quickly slaps the hand off and yells a warning. Jardine hits his face against Bonnar’s shoulder, causing a visible cut under his left eye by the end of clinch.
3:21 – BJM moves in to break up the clinch, and Bonnar throws a left elbow that lands. You can clearly here BJM start to say “Stop it right there” before Bonnar throws the elbow, but Bonnar has started to throw the elbow before BJM has gotten in between and tapped the fighters.
2:49 – Bonnar initiates clinch against the fence following a flurry of punches that chases Jardine back up against the fence.
1:14 – Clinch initiated by Bonnar following a ‘Superman punch’.
0:59-0:52 – Time is unaccounted for, due to DVR switching to set timed recording of TUF3 airing.
0:13 – Slip fest. Jardine slips on high kick, Bonnar slips from Jardine push, all on Amp’d Mobile logo in the Blue Corner.

1:45 – As Jardine separates from the clinch he hits a left elbow/forearm to the left side of Bonnar’s face, which opens up the cut on/around his left eye that causes the streaks of blood on that side of his face.

*Special notes about the fight:
At 1:23 left in Rd 2, Jardine hits a right leg kick and you can clearly hear someone whisper what sounds like ‘yes.’
It’ll only interest me, but my constant rewinding/forwarding of the recording of the fight caused my Time Warner DVR to give out twice during the work on this breakdown. The first time left it stuck on rewind, and eventually turned off. The second time caused the sound to give out (I thought it blew my tv’s speakers at first) and then turn off.
*If there are other notes/categories that users would like to see included in breakdowns, all constructive criticism is allowed. If there is any dispute about any of my notes or tallies, they’re subject to change. I’d rather my breakdowns be accurate and correct than be one biased opinion.*
