Louis Jourdain, brother of UFC standout Charles “Air” Jourdain, will finally make his octagon debut this October.
Jourdain (9-3) is set to make his first walk to the octagon at UFC Edmonton on October 17, 2026. There, he’ll face off against Timmy Cuamba in bantamweight action.
SportsNet was first to report the booking, which UFC officials confirmed via press release on Tuesday.
Louis Jourdain earned himself a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series last September, but has not fought since. The Montreal, Quebec-based fighter has won four straight fights, and holds a notable win earlier in his career over Tony Laramie, currently a RIZIN FF flyweight contender.
Cuamba picked up a decision win on the Contender Series in 2023, but did not earn a contract with his performance that night. One more win on the regional scene, however, and he was scooped up by the UFC, where he’s posted a 2-3 record to date.
In May, Cuamba saw a two-fight win streak snapped when he was submitted by Benardo Sopaj.
UFC Edmonton takes place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on October 17, 2026. The card is headlined by welterweights Mike Malott and Joaquin Buckley, with the following fights announced for the event:
