Jean Silva over Charles Jourdain

8:45 PM EST. Charles Jourdain has been a fixture in the UFC since 2019, fighting at least twice a year. Despite his activity, Jourdain has struggled to put together a consistent winning streak, with his UFC record standing at a middling 6-6-1. His recent performances include a decision win over Kron Gracie (2023) and a notable guillotine submission against Ricardo Ramos (2023). However, Jourdain’s momentum was halted by a split decision loss to Sean Woodson (2024), illustrating his difficulty in closing out competitive fights.

Jourdain is a well-rounded fighter with solid striking and underrated grappling, yet he has shown a tendency to falter in close bouts. Decision losses to Sean Woodson, Nathaniel Wood, and Shane Burgos have established his ceiling as a “Prelims” fighter. This inconsistency makes it hard to trust Jourdain to either push for a finish or maintain the necessary pressure to secure a decision victory. That indecisiveness should serve us well here tonight.

Jean Silva enters this bout with significant momentum. After a brief hiatus in 2022, Silva returned with a bang in 2023, securing two knockout victories under the Spartacus MMA banner. His performances earned him a shot on Dana White's Contender Series, where he outpointed Kevin Vallejos to secure a UFC contract. Silva made an immediate impact in his UFC debut, knocking out Westin Wilson in the first round.

Silva is an exciting striker with explosive power and a diverse striking arsenal. His ability to finish fights, particularly with knockouts, makes him a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division. While Jourdain has never been stopped, Silva’s knockout power presents a legitimate threat.
