A cast member of The Ultimate Fighter season 2, Jardine used a unique, herky-jerky style to create some memorable moments in the cage, notably knocking out future champion Forrest Griffin at UFC 66. Ask him what his favorite highlights are, and he’ll mention the obvious wins over Liddell and Griffin, but he’s just as likely to rattle off his decision loss to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson or his draw with Gegard Mousasi, simply because of what he proved to himself.
He says he misses competition when he watches a good fight, and still trains occasionally for fun, but now, five years removed from his last bout and making a good living with his thespian skills, his sights are firmly set on his future goals.
For 2018, he’s already booked a part in an upcoming Sandra Bullock post-apocalyptic thriller titled Bird Box, and with his agent Kevin Turner of the Daniel Hoff Agency, he’s looking forward to the upcoming pilot season, where he’ll have the chance to audition for projects that are in the casting stage. This is Keith Jardine now. MMA got the first part of his life, but acting gets the rest.
“I have as much passion for this as I ever did for fighting,” he said. “I don’t want to be a coach. I like helping guys learn, but that’s not for me. Here’s an opportunity to do something I really love and I’m passionate about. Even if I had to be poor doing it, then I’ll be that. It’s better than doing something I’m miserable at. It’s just like in fighting, there’s an easy way and a hard way. The hard way is usually the better way, and it usually pays off in the end.”
