Preview

The Featherweight division features a banger, as Julian Erosa and Charles Jourdain collide in what could very well be your ‘Fight of the Night’. Erosa enters this fight off a tough defeat, one in which saw him stopped in the opening round. Before the loss, Erosa had won three straight, two of which came in the UFC. Meanwhile, Jourdain looks to build off a TKO victory over Marcelo Rojo in March. The victory was much needed for Jourdain, who fought to a lackluster draw in his previous fight.

Prediction

The judges can sit this one out, as I can’t see this fight going the distance. Both men are strikers, who aren’t afraid to brawl. Julian Erosa is the more aggressive fighter though, often abandoning striking defense to land strikes. More than often, Erosa has succeeded in such. Charles Jourdain is the opposite in regards to striking defense, as he has proven to be elusive for the most part on the feet. The Canadian is also more technical, using his high output to break down opponents.

As for a prediction, I have Jourdain winning. While I expect this fight to get hectic, there is one thing I trust. That would be Jourdain’s chin. In fifteen professional fights, Jourdain has yet to be stopped. He has proven in several fights, his durability is excellent. The same can’t be said about Erosa, who’s durability has failed him at times. Of his nine professional defeats, five have come via knockout. Even worse, in nine UFC fights, Erosa has been dropped six times. Unless Erosa wrestles here, I can’t see him outlasting Jourdian. So with that said, I have Jourdain winning via KO.
