The fight between Charles Jourdain and Shane Burgos will be presented on July 16 at 2 p.m. on RDS INFO and RDS.ca.

The clash between Charles Jourdain and Shane Burgos, during the UFC gala presented at the UBS Arena on Long Island this Saturday, promises to be thrilling. Both fighters have similar records (14-3 for Burgos, 13-4-1 for Jourdain) and both love to put on a show.

“He was laughing when he got the big hits from Josh Emmett (#3 featherweight). There are not many fighters who are able to take blows like this, ”analyzes the athlete from Beloeil. “I’m going to have to find his chin quickly. I will have 15 minutes to do it and Burgos will have the same time to try to break me mentally. »

Jourdain is experiencing the best moments of his career. His last two victories against Andre Ewell and Lando Vannata have been impressive, but as with each of his outings, the Quebecer approaches the fight in a very philosophical way.

“My confidence comes from the fact that I am ready for anything. It could be the best or the worst day of my life. I accept all eventualities. On the other hand, I know that I have the tools to beat Shane Burgos. »

A victory on Saturday will allow Charles Jourdain to enter the UFC’s top 15 featherweight fighters.

Against Burgos, which is ranked 14^e in the world, the Quebecer will try to cement his place among the elite, within the most prestigious mixed martial arts organization, which brings together the best fighters in the world. And yet, the name of Charles Jourdain does not resonate so strongly with us.

“It was eating me up for a long time, but I’m trying to let go. »

But Jourdain immediately continues: “No, the media do not talk about us enough. Mixed martial arts are not respected enough. There are daily articles or reports on boxing, even if Quebec boxers do not always face the world elite. »

We can feel it, Jourdain wants recognition. For him and for his sport. It was discussed at length in the generous interview he gave to RDS.

Insiders are aware that he will be fighting the biggest fight of his career this Saturday. For the others, we invite you to discover the Quebec fighter and potentially witness his official entry into the UFC’s featherweight elite.

See you at 2 p.m. on RDS INFO.

There was no apparent emergency response after a major crash involving Anthony Joshua that killed two people; no ambulance, no proper medical care. Instead he was made to sit upright in front of a police van… pic.twitter.com/xZ5IEP9hF6

The top three of Artur Beterbiev are as follows:

1. Terence Crawford;

2. Naoya Inoue;

3. Devin Haney.

2. Muslim Gadzhimagomedov;

3. Sharabutdin Ataev.
