SHANE BURGOS VS CHARLES JOURDAIN LOWDOWN
Shane Burgos (14-3) is coming off a much-needed win after losing two on the bounce running into two of the most devastating strikers in the division. They were both ‘Fight of the Night’s’ however Josh Emmett (2020) got the nod from all three judges in a bruising battle. He then received an absolute schooling from Edson Barboza (2021) who eventually closed the show with a clean swipe at the temple causing a delayed knockout. He returned six months later to earn a unanimous decision over Billy Quarantillo and now hopes to regain some more momentum.
Charles Jourdain (13-4-1) sets out to make sure that momentum is halted again. He is enjoying his first streak in the UFC after a shaky start to his tenure. He is coming off a unanimous decision over Andre Ewell (2021) and a super impressive submission over Lando Vannata back in April boosting his UFC record to 4-3-1.
SHANE BURGOS VS CHARLES JOURDAIN PREDICTION
They are exhilarating yet contrasting strikers and this has ‘Fight of the Night written all over it. Expect Jourdain to bring more flair attacking from range with an array of kicks and Burgos to walk him down looking to chew him up in boxing range.
Burgos has a granite chin, but it is beginning to chip away after wars with some of the best strikers in the division. Jourdain will constantly be a threat from his southpaw position, particularly his kick to the mid-section and he will have to land a lot of volume to slow Burgos down.
We fancy Burgos to absorb the damage and out land Jourdain to convince the judges. He has a crazy output and his cardio will allow him to keep up the same pace for 15 minutes. Jourdain will be a threat, especially in the first round, but we expect Burgos to leverage his six-inch reach advantage and home support to pull out a vintage performance.
