How good was prime Keith Jardine?

Solid, Top 10, borderline contender at his best. Well-rounded, good leg kicks and fought with bad intentions (thus the "Dean of Mean" name). Unfortunately, his chin was his Achilles Heel, and there were always a few LHWs who were better. After he beat Forrest (great win) and on his way to a likely title shot... he got demolished by a Houston Alexander upper cut...that kind of thing always seemed to happen when he got a good win (Forrest, Liddell, etc.) and got momentum.
Also the blatantly illegal knee following.
 
Better than Forrest but not quite as good as past prime Wand.
 
He was good in a weird way. Kinda reminds me of Tyson Fury
 
Above average but not elite, seemed that hyper aggressive fighters were his kryptonite ( Wand, Thiago Silva , Alexander) they never let his establish his strange rhythm

He beat that Sokoudjou guy who was also for real for a few fights...but lost to that Kimbo guy (mostly cause he just stood there).
Kimbo was also for real for like 2 seconds

Solid meh. Like, he deserved a shot in the UFC, but he washed out for a reason.
 
It all pends… Keith Jardine who twists his nipples before the round starts was much more effective the the one who didn’t.
