Jourdain's youth and athleticism give him a significant edge in this matchup. At 28 years old, he's entering his physical prime, while Henry, at 36, may be on the decline. Jourdain's ability to maintain a high pace throughout the fight will likely prove problematic for Henry, who has shown vulnerability to pressure in past bouts. The Canadian's recent focus on refining his game and addressing past weaknesses suggests he'll enter this fight with a strategic approach tailored to exploit Henry's tendencies. Expect Jourdain to utilize his footwork to frustrate Henry, picking him apart with precise strikes and potentially securing a late stoppage or dominant decision victory, announcing himself as a new force in the bantamweight division.

Why Victor Henry Will Win

  • Last Fight: (W) Rani Yahya – KO/TKO R3
  • Last 5: 4-1
  • Finishes: 15 (7 KO/TKO/8 SUB)

Victor Henry is looking to make a statement against Charles Jourdain at UFC Edmonton this weekend, showcasing his veteran savvy and well-rounded skillset. Henry's experience edge will be crucial in this matchup, as he's faced and defeated high-caliber opponents like Tony Gravely and Rani Yahya in recent outings. His ability to adapt mid-fight and implement effective game plans has been a hallmark of his UFC career thus far. Jourdain's move down to bantamweight for this fight introduces an element of uncertainty, as it's unclear how the weight cut will affect his performance and cardio. Henry's proven durability and consistent pressure could exploit any potential stamina issues Jourdain might face in his new weight class.

Henry's grappling prowess gives him a significant advantage in this matchup. While Jourdain is known for his dynamic striking, he has shown vulnerability to takedowns and ground control in past fights. Henry's ability to mix up his attacks, transitioning seamlessly between striking and grappling, will likely keep Jourdain off-balance throughout the bout. The American fighter's recent third-round stoppage of Yahya demonstrates his ability to maintain a high pace and finish fights late, which could prove crucial if Jourdain struggles with the weight cut. Expect Henry to utilize his wrestling to neutralize Jourdain's striking, wearing him down with ground-and-pound and potentially securing a late submission victory, further cementing his status as a rising contender in the bantamweight division.
