MMA Quick Quote: Keith Jardine is on a mission

by FQJMMA on Sep 5, 2010 10:03 AM EDT

"I haven't performed nearly to the top of my ability, and that's what this fight is about. That's what this journey outside the UFC is about -- finding myself and getting near the top of my potential. That's what I'm looking for right now. If I do that the sky's the limit."

-- The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) alum and seasoned Octagon veteran, Keith Jardine, tells Sherdog.com that his quest to achieve his full potential begins now. "The Dean of Mean" has dropped four straight fights and six of his last eight, which is a far cry from the fighter who flirted with possible contention about two years ago. Jardine was recently cut from the promotion and is now free to build his career (and possibly confidence) back up in smaller shows to prove that he does indeed belong locked inside a cage with the best of the business. He'll find out soon enough when he takes on one of the more talented 205-pound fighter not on the UFC roster, Trevor Prangley, under the Shark Fights banner in a non title bout on Sept. 11. Will the Greg Jackson-trained fighter have his hand raised for the first time in nearly two years or will Prangley serve up his fifth straight loss?

One part of fighting is having a solid chin... Keith just doesn't have one.

Part of Fighting is having Guts

Vera doesn’t have any and he’s still in the UFC…. War Techno Viking!!!

I still think he can create problems for a lot of the guys in the UFC's LHW Division...

he’s just too damn inconsistent to stay relevant.
I don’t think his chin is all that bad; even though he’s been KO’d in his last couple of fights, they were on-the-button punches from heavy hitters, and he has taken clean shots from Chuck and Rampage without being KO’d.
He’ll be back in the UFC after 2 or 3 wins no doubt.

I agree with you 100% Arlovskang. I don’t think his chin is the problem with him getting KOd, it’s that he leaves himself open a lot.

Agreed.

His style isn’t the best for avoiding getting hit; he lets his hands just hang out in the air, leaving his chin wide open.

Keith's a good fighter

I just think he should have taken an easier fright than Trevor. Trevor’s a grinder who’s fought some of the best in the world and won. Jardine will have to play keep away with his kicks and punches, probably take one the Edgar/Cruz style. I think i’m going to take Trevor in this one via decision. BTW its a B level fighter hall of fame card. I think i may get it.

jardine is a sardine

This character has and still is a punching and kick bag for most challengers. It is all illusion and he will never get any further in his career than where he is at present. Give it a couple of more losses to sink into this waste of a so-called MMA hopeful….gag…….

Huh?

Keith is no bum! Look at who his recent losses are to, almost exclusively top top competition.

Sorry Keth is too arrogant for his own good.

After the shit he talked about Wandy and Houston Alexander he needed to be humbled.

I've got something to say; it better to burn in hell than to fade away!!!

This guy messes divisions up lol

Keith Jardine is the kind of guy who losses more then often but, when he wins he messes up the LHW division by winning the fights he shouldn’t and losing the fights who shouldnt lol
