Charles Jourdain (11-3-1) vs Julian Erosa (25-9)
Catchweight (150)
Charles Jourdain
Perhaps the most frustrating fighter on the roster, Charles Jourdain always brings the heat to the octagon, even if he forgets a game plan. Setting a high pace throughout, Jourdain operates behind exotic kicks, flying knees and spinning attacks. Lacking typical orthodox power, Jourdain’s creativity stuns opponents through the surprise factor. Despite a weakness to wrestling, Erosa will likely be happy to engage in 50/50 exchanges. While a methodical, calculated gameplan behind straight shots and distance management will have Jourdain jumping and spinning aimlessly, Erosa is not that fighter.
Julian Erosa
Filling in for Lerone Murphy, after the Brit has struggled with VISA issues, Erosa as a replacement makes this a far more exciting (if less meaningful) fight. If Erosa doesn’t get caught early by a surprise Jourdain shot, he can pressure his way into the pocket and test his mettle. What Erosa needs to watch out for is the counter to the counter. Jourdain is wide open after attempting an explosive strike, yet the Canadian has a canny knack of responding immediately when tagged.
