How good was prime Keith Jardine?

It was during Kieth’s fights where Rogan coined the phrase “awkward, herky-jerky style”.

It gave us a great gif at the end of the day though:

Only two fighters I've ever met in real life were Jardine and Rampage.

Jardine wasn't nearly as big as I thought and Rampage was bigger than I thought (huge head).

Tale of two worlds, everyone was crowding around Rampage.

No one recognized Jardine. I just said hi, thanks for the fights, and good luck in the acting career.
 
He was like an underachiever and an overachiever at the same time. Beat guys he probably shouldn’t have beaten, and got whooped by guys who on paper had no business beating him.
 
Best fighter the world has ever seen.

At throwing weird loopy hooks from weird angles.

Yeah, I guess that was due to his odd skillset and style. One of the weirdest was him going 3 rounds with Mousasi and getting a draw (due to Mousasi losing a point)...then getting 1-punch KO'd by Rockhold in his next fight. Prime Rockhold had dangerous kicks but was never known for boxing or punching power.

Jardine did best against guys who didn't have heavy hands (Vera, Forrest, Bonnar, etc.). In those fights he was aggressive and could use his leg kicks and sometimes even grappling. I hated his last UFC fight vs. Matt Hamill, where Matt milked an eye poke which cost Jardine a point. Some thought Jardine won that fight IIRC.
 
Good enough to beat an old Chuck Liddell, I guess?
 
Dam keith jardine thats something i havent heard since in forever.
Now i wanna get back together with my first girlfriend binge watch twilight,

god dam I miss the good ole old days

<{Joewithit}> OMG im having a mid life crisis<mma1>
 
He beat Liddell and finished Forrest Griffin in under a round. Also had a competitive fight with Rampage. He was top 5-7.
Wut
That was Forrest before he majorly improved.
That was CTE Chuck. The only person that couldn't beat CTE Chuck was no more juice Wanderlei.
 
Keith Jardine wrecked Forrest Griffin at UFC 66.



Less than a year later, Griffin humiliated prime Shogun. Shogun was so completely defeated that, when he tapped, all he could do was cry, similar to Fedor after Werdum made him tap.

 
He was the Michael Johnson of his day. Pretty bad record overall, but had some good wins that didn't really fit a guy with a losing record.
 
When I was a teenager I was at my
Gf’s house, her dad knew I watched UFC but hadn’t watched Liddell vs Jardine yet, the fight had just happened and he recorded it. He asked me to predict who won, and if I got it wrong I would do the dishes, but if I won vice-versa lol. Needless to say I did the dishes that night lmao.
