While aimlessly cruising Wikipedia last night, I learned that Keith Jardine‘s first loss came in his third pro fight back in February 2002, against MMA ironman Travis Wiuff in the quarterfinals of an Extreme Challenge eight-man heavyweight tournament in Iowa. Coincidentally, it was Wiuff’s third fight as well, and it took Diesel just six seconds to claim a victory via straight-right directly on Jardine’s off-button. The video is above, and the action starts at the 2:18 mark. Wiuff would go on to lose to Mike Radnov in the semis, while Radnov lost to tournament-winner Ben Rothwell in the finals.
Following the Wiuff fight, Jardine went on a 6-0-1 run, joined the second season of The Ultimate Fighter, and quickly found himself in marquee fights against Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva, and Quinton Jackson. This Saturday, he’ll take on Thiago Silva at UFC 102. If you believe in streaks, then the Dean of Mean has this one wrapped up. And of course, if he ever decides to walk out to the cage as Techno Viking, he’ll be unstoppable.

OH holy crap I hadn't seen the techno viking thing... that shit was HILARIOUS! He'd win over some major fans if he busted that out on his way to the octagon!

Its kind of a trip how that's the only way Jardine gets ktfo. It's usually in the earlier moments of the first round. Any other time, he's competing like a mofo!

If Jardine comes out as techno viking, he better get +1000 regardless of if he wins or loses. I have been saying for years that he looks just like him, when I first saw the video on Break. I'm glad more people are discovering the video. KEITH "THE TECHNO VIKING" JARDINE FTW!

Why does Wiuff look different every time I see him?
Wed, 08/26/09 - 02:14
This was a long time ago cuz Travis didn't even have those shitty star tattoos yet.

Glad I'm not the only one that shit myself when I read TECHNO VIKING... wait, you mean I am? damn

The Diesel is gassed up. All puffy and holding water. I'm pulling for Jardine this weekend. CP is bringing him bad karma by posting this vid.

The Techno Viking doesn't just LOOK like Jardine, it IS him. He says it's him in the interview on the other website. Frickin' sweet. The video is just so priceless the way they all just start walking behind him down the street like the Thriller video or something. Too much!
