TORONTO – Charles Jourdain says there are major financial and career implications attached to his UFC 297 fight vs. Sean Woodson.
Jourdain (15-6-1 MMA, 6-5-1 UFC) will face Woodson (10-1-1 MMA, 4-1-1 UFC) on the Jan. 20 card at Scotiabank Arena in his native Canada, and a victory would put him on a three-fight winning streak in the featherweight division.
That would likely position Jourdain to get someone on the lower end of the 145-pound rankings, and it would come at a good time as his current UFC contract nears its end. Jourdain knows there are two sides to the coin of his looming scenario, however, if he continues to move upward in the pecking order, he said both his compensation from the UFC, as well as his mentality, have to change.
