| Name: |  Brock Jardine |
| Nickname: | The Machine |
| Age: | 26 |
| Height: | 5'11" |
| Location: |
Orem, Utah |
In retrospect, Brock Jardine (8-1) might have some words for the people responsible for casting the thirteenth season of The Ultimate Fighter. The 26-year-old sat on the sidelines while the man who handed him his only loss, Tony Ferguson, dominated the field, eventually beating Jardine's teammate, Ramsey Nijem, at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale in June. Jardine was able to take Ferguson deep into the fourth round of a title affair at PureCombat 12 last September before retiring via technical knockout.
Fortunately for Jardine, Ferguson has proved his legitimacy as a genuine up-and-coming prospect, and the fact that Jardine was able to take Ferguson into the late rounds speaks volumes about his own progression as a fighter. In the two fights following the loss, Jardine spent less than one minute in the cage combined, submitting Boyko Ranchev at a Showdown Fights event in Urem, Utah in April and knocking out Kenny Ento at Fight for Wrestling 3 in Bakersfield, California in May. He had previously amassed a 6-0 record in the span of two years before the loss.
At the heart of Jardine's skill-set is an extensive background in wrestling. He was a high school wrestling champion at Warren County High School in Virginia, winning three state titles, two in freestyle and one in Greco. He moved on to Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania before transferring to Utah Valley State where he recorded a 6-5 record during the 2006-2007 season.
Obviously, he was far from an outstanding NCAA Division-I wrestling standout, but those skills have transitioned well to the cage. He's strong on the ground, transitions quickly to more dominant positions, and possesses the know-how to submit his opponents. As his career has progressed, so has his striking, and those improved stand-up skills are the key to beating the stiffer competition he'll face in more prominent organizations. With any luck, Jardine will get to showcase those skills on a bigger platform in 2012.

You know Joe, if Brock Jardine’s last name were Johnson the nickname The Machine wouldn’t make any sense!

At least there wouldn't be another "Ethan", "Aiden" or "Jayden" in the world
And that’s all that matters.

I responded to the description of the video
which I hadnt watched yet, but wasn’t very indicative of what the video was actually about so I got blasted for that.
And I hinted about too many wrestling articles, not serious though. But my negativity mustve got to Nate and he unleashed the banhammer.
I had to put on my big boy pants and apologize but Nate was cool enough to un-ban me
No, your dumb

Rashad's index finger and thumb missed you greatly

Is welterweight a relatively deep division
when it comes to these scouting reports? or is it more shallow than the other ones, say lightweight?
It’s shallow in comparison to the other divisions.

It kind of made sense the first time.

Yeah, no shit. At this point, Balla Gaye’s inclusion might have caused their heads to explode.
