"My career's not going to be complete until I fight for that UFC title. That's what this is all about for me."
"I've been around something like 13 or 14 fights in the UFC, most of them have been main event or co-main event, so I've seen the pressure before and this one really doesn't compare to some of the other fights. Cause mentally I'm a lot stronger and in a better place right now."
"I never worry about the outcome, I'm just looking to get in a fight. I'm just looking to get into the deep rounds, and get to that point where you're throwing every punch from your soul. See who has the bigger heart, and that's what I hope comes from this fight."

I like Jardine and all but
There’s no way he’s ever going to be reigning champ of the UFC LHW division as it stands now.
Agreed...you can't blame a guy for dreaming,
but there’s no way Jardine ever fights for a UFC title.
He is right up there with Liddell for me...
I like the guy and I would like to thank him for the exciting fights that he has been part of but he seriously should be thinking about retirement and not about a comeback.
And just like Liddell...
…a stiff breeze could knock him out.
I like Jardine a lot, but unless he gets to fight someone with no arms he’ll never sit atop the division.
Get rid of the ramp!
jesus, look at who jardines fought
joe silva must of hated him.. rampage,liddell, t.silva, w.silva. i’ve met jardine dude is cool. he fights for a living, and i say outside the ufc he will win 6-10 fights

A boy can dream
Jardine obviously doesn’t have the physical tools to be a UFC champ but he apparently doesn’t have the right mentality either; how can someone who doesn’t worry about the outcome of their fights ever be a champion?
hahahaha
didnt know jardine had sense of humour

Dana will probably watch this fight and cover his face when the inevitable happens.
Keith Jardine is not getting any younger. He’s been dropped about 8 times or more in his last 8 UFC fights. The only guys that did not drop him was Liddell and Vera.
- He suffered two knockdowns in at least two of those fights.
- Something tells me overlooking Houston -no-ground-game Alexander is the turning point in his career.
- Wow, interesting Jardine fact: He was KO’ed by Iron-Man Travis Wiuff in 6 seconds.
- Note, Wiuff is a f*ckin fighter with 75 fights and counting. He has 2 losses in the UFC.
- - - - -
VEe is ANIMated!
Beat me to it...
Looking back now I don’t think there was a more pivotal moment in Jardine’s entire career than that memorable KO courtesy of Houston Alexander.
Immediately afterward (and, in hindsight, for an overly exhausted amount of time), the general fans saw Alexander as positioned to be a potential blitzkrieg in the LHW division; whereas Jardine was somewhat excused for failing to respect his late-replacemant unknown Nebraskan adversary and his later win over Liddell (still believed to be working his way to retaking the title).
The career paths of both Alexander and Liddell following their fights with Jardine reveal a lot about a fighter whose awkward style coupled with early wins brought attention to someone who was far more one-dimensional than anyone couled or cared to see from the very beginning.
A guy who seemed terrified to tangle with Kimbo Slice sketced out the blueprint for any future opponent that has that one-punch KO power. I don’t think Prangley is that much of a longshot.

jardine really isnt that good
once u get past the awkward style he just doesnt have much else to offer
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
Monkey Thai
I’m not a Keith Jardine fan nor do I feel he is ever going to hold a UFC title
(he’s delusional about that 1) but he has the experience and skill to pick
Trevor Prangley apart. I think the concensus is that Jardine has a weak
chin and I would agree but I do not feel Prangley posseses the skills to
land anything very solid on KJ. I would feel very safe in Jardine winning this
bout via a 1st round (T)KO but it all depends on how aggressive he is either
way jardine via easy (T)KO.
I think fighters have to say they are gunning for the title. It’d be like a baseball team saying they don’t really hope to get to the World Series.
"an excellent example of why most MMA "journalism" is a joke. Pseudonyms like "toxic" and shitty writing like that dopey article"--- Joe Rogan.
I dunno 'bout that
Most baseball teams are more grounded than that and arent calling out their World Series victory in training camp.

Rooting for Prangley
Just to end this delusion of “making a run for the title”
Walking the line between intelligence and ignorance since 1985
@deowade
Jardine beat Forrest who beat the current champ shogun which = Watch yo back Shogun.
The only way jardine doesn’t get the belt is if Rashad wins. In which case The Dean of mean will be forced to spare his friend.

Troll
Between mma math and you thinking he will have the belt you Gotta be a troll Unless your being really sarcastic

Tough fight to call/wager
Jardine has such a suspect chin. It’s hard to really ever count on him against anyone with power.
Prangley is a career 185er who is primarily a wrestler. However he probably won’t be able to push around a legit 205er like Jardine.
Most likely is Jardine makes this a point karate match and wins a 3 round decision.
This is really an awesome card. Tons of depth:

" Tell me something Steve, How does a guy from Puerto Rico loose a ball in the Sun? "
Dean is getting KTFO
and then he will begin his run for the UFC title because he will be refocused on better than ever just like every other fighter that loses.
Ummm, really??
“My career’s not going to be complete until I fight for that UFC title. That’s what this is all about for me.”
Good luck on that!!
You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons; first of all, I think he's a good actor. Okay. To me, that counts. Second; he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. Doesn't fuck around.
George Carlin
I’d be surprised if he even appears in the UFC again unless it’s some late replacement deal, there are plenty of people in any of the other high level promotions that will take advantage of that chin and hand him some more L’s.

Including Prangley on Saturday night.

Prangley is done, he looked pathetic in his last 2 fights Jardine should have a hightlight reel by the time he’s done with this fight.
