Keith Jardine will be fighting outside of the UFC for the first time in almost six years this weekend when he fights Trevor Prangley at Shark Fights 13 in Amarillo, TX.

With a 6-7 mark in the UFC during his run and with four straight losses to close it out, Jardine will look to get back in the win column and work his way back to the sport’s top promotion beginning Saturday in Texas.

“I got in a funk and lost a few fights in a row” Jardine told MMANews.com.

Most UFC fighters are lucky to lose three fights in a row and still have a job but Keith Jardine is different, he boasts a resume that features fights against a who’s who of 205lbs. fighters and win or lose he always brought it. “I'm very proud of that actually. I've never really fought any easy guys and that was sort of the point of me getting cut from the UFC. I was frustrated being cut but the UFC always treated me right and I could call up Joe Silva or Dana White tomorrow and they would still treat me right. “
