At 34 years old, Kron Gracie, member of one of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu royal families, is making a comeback to the UFC after a four-year hiatus. He is determined to display the full range of skills from one of the most respected lineages in MMA history.
However, his time in the combat sports giant has been rocky. In his last fight, the man known as Ice Cream, suffered his first loss by unanimous decision to American fighter Cub Swanson on October 12, 2019.
The legendary Rickson Gracie, father of the South American fighter returning to the octagon this week, spoke about his son’s emotional state. According to the words of the former fighter, a born fighter should not show any emotion when competing.
Charles Jourdain
- Odds: -177
- Record: 13-6-1
- Age: 27
- Height: 1.75 m
- Weight: 66Kg
- Reach: 175 cm
On the other hand, one of the youngest talents in the featherweight division is looking to make a breakthrough in the category. Charles Jourdain had a tough 2022 and is eager to turn things around.
In the three fights he fought last year, the 27-year-old French-Canadian lost in the last two, his most recent result being a unanimous decision defeat to England’s Nathaniel Wood.
Nevertheless, the vast majority of fans have no doubts about the popular Air’s tactics, as his clean striking style has earned him good performances in his still growing UFC career.
JefeBet Prediction
Clearly, due to his professional continuity, Charles Jourdain is projected as a potential winner in the upcoming match. Kron Gracie’s four-year hiatus represents a significant disadvantage for him as he makes his return to the octagon this Saturday. However, we cannot ignore the great quality of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that has always characterized his respected family.
Prediction: Unanimous decision victory for Charles Jourdain.
