Las Vegas — Welcome to the UFC, Louis Jourdain.
Jourdain, younger brother of Canadian UFC star Charles “Air” Jourdain, earned his way into the promotion care of a rear-naked choke submission of Magno Dias on the Contender Series this week.
“I’m so blessed to be here. I worked hard for it, so it’s even more worth it,” Jourdain (9-3) told media outlets including Cageside Press following the fight.
Having been cageside with his brother, Louis Jourdain is no stranger to the bright lights of the UFC. “I saw it so many times that it’s experience in my pocket, so it’s nothing new,” he stated. “The nerves were there, but it’s something I already saw, and I could picture it. What’s very good about having Charles as a brother is, every mistake he made over the years, I could see. And now I can correct them.”
“I’m like a new version of him when he was young, but more mature. All of his experience, it comes to me. It’s going to be a good run in the UFC from now on. And for him too; we’re going to terrorize the 135lb division from now.”
As far as a UFC debut date, while he has a medical suspension, Jourdain relayed the doctor was open to clearing him, depending on how things go. And he’s already asked to be part of the UFC’s next Canadian date.
“Maybe you’ll see me in two weeks in Vancouver. That would be very nice.”
