Keith Jardine keeps it real- nice quote

http://mmamania.com/2009/08/27/keith-jardine-thinks-the-ufc-may-not-want-him-to-be-a-champion-%E2%80%A6/
“There’s a big difference between a win and a loss in the UFC. I’m making a comfortable living right now, but I’m definitely fighting for my livelihood…. I’m kind of like the blue-collar UFC fighter. I’m working my way in through the back door. I haven’t been fed any (soft) opponents. I didn’t win the reality show. I’m just making my own way. I haven’t been mass marketed to anybody. That’s the thing. The marketing machine hasn’t really gotten behind me. I’m fine with it, but I just think that the Forrest Griffins and those guys, they’d rather have those guys have the title than me. They kind of let me go my own way a bit because I’m not out there craving attention and I’m not out there hamming it up for the fans. I’m not being like Brock Lesnar after the fight (at UFC 100). That was embarrassing. I’m not that guy. I never will be. I’ll always be humble and be mean when it counts. I come from a real hard-working background and I don’t think my Dad would think very well of me if I were out there making an ass of myself. I’m just going to be myself and hopefully people will appreciate that. When I have the title, hopefully I will have a lot of fans because of the way I am.”

you got to respect that guy.

good quote.....at least he means what he says and says what he means

And that's why I like Jardine.

Jardine is one of the guys that makes MMA the Greatest sport on Earth!

The Dean of Mean what he says

It's a shame he's gonna get beat this weekend.

you said it best how can you not like the guy. war jardine

Jardine's a good guy, remember he wins pretty much every other fight

Jardine isn't some guy who mentally breaks every other fight or something. It's just how his career has gone. That said, Thiago gets KO'd. He doesn't have the speed to do what Wanderlei did to him and won't be able to count on the mistakes Jardine made against Houston.

Never said he was, just alluded to the fact his career has sort of gone like that, I think it'll continue too, he beats Thiago IMO, then ends up getting another tough opponent which he'd be in line for at that point, maybe Forrest/Cane, which I think he loses, and the trend continues, jk

Yo Wolfy PM me ur email

I wasn't replying directly to you as much as addressing a perception out there in general about him.

Jardine will ko Thiago
