Rewind: "UFC 78: Validation" UFC T-Shirt
Absent from the Tri-State area for over four years, the UFC returned to New Jersey on November 17, 2007 for “UFC 78: Validation” at the Prudential Center in Newark.

Mean Style x Keith Jardine Mean 1 Signature Tees
Mean Style is Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine’s clothing line which goes for simple and retro styles as opposed to the skulls and guns imagery seen on other popular MMA brands. There’s also a philosophy behind Mean Style says the UFC light-heavyweight.
“MEANstyle is not only a clothing company; it’s a philosophy as well. It all comes from the idea that if things are not going your way and you are going through tough times, you have to simply get MEAN. Put you head down and push forward. The more difficult things get the MEANer you must become. Everybody goes through adversity but it’s the MEAN ones that don’t let the hard times get the best of them.
“Being MEAN not only means never backing down from adversity; It means walking with confidence, being assertive as well as being humble. MEANstyle has no time for arrogance, boastfulness, or any disrespect.
“To be MEAN, don’t always take the easy path, do something every day that you don’t want to do or that might “scare” you. Choose an art and pursue it, do your best. Seek to improve yourself everyday but don’t seek to be like someone or better than someone. Just be better than your former self.” – Keith Jardine
