It’s been a rough year for Canadians competing on the biggest MMA stages, but Charles Jourdain notched one for the home team Saturday at UFC Fight Night 246 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
In a bantamweight prelim at Rogers Place, Jourdain (16-8-1 MMA, 7-7-1 UFC) tapped Victor Henry (24-7 MMA, 3-2 UFC) with a guillotine choke at 3:43 of Round 2. In doing so, he became the first opponent to finish Henry in 31 professional bouts.
The fight was Jourdain’s divisional debut, as he dropped down from featherweight. He sought the guillotine, one of his favorite maneuvers, throughout the bout and finally found it after Henry was unable to shake his grip as the two rose up from the ground.
