Charles “Air” Jourdain truly does live up to his nickname, even if he hasn’t quite lived up to it in the UFC as of yet. Jourdain has an 100% win finishing rate. And one of the things that sticks out the most to me about Charles is that even though he is just 25 years old he has fought some very experienced fighters thus far in his pro career.

Jourdain has excellent technique and is an excellent striker that is hard to predict and has already fought some tough names in the UFC such as Des Green, Andre Fili and most recently, Joshua Culibao.

Jourdain is a fighter that carries his power and explosiveness late into the fight as he has quite a few stoppages outside of the first round — even featuring one in the 5th round. Jourdain is a very exciting fighter to watch and he always goes for the finish (and his signature flying knee) every single fight!
