LAS VEGAS – Kevin Jousset is eager to climb the welterweight ranks after winning his sophomore octagon appearance at UFC Fight Night 233.
Jousset (10-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) earned a convincing unanimous decision victory over Song Kenan on Saturday at the UFC Apex, and now he’s looking for a step up in competition, and thinks Daniel Rodriguez would be a good fit after his recent clearance from a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) suspension.
“I saw ‘D-Rod’ got cleared from USADA,” Jousset told MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight at UFC Fight Night 233. “I like his style. I feel he’s a very good fighter. He seems to be a good guy, as well. I don’t know the guy personally, but I would love to test my skills against this guy potentially. I know he’s much higher than me in the rankings, but who knows. If the UFC is interested in this fight, let’s do it.”
