Jesse Ronson is the combatant in question, who also had several fights in the UFC octagon. \u2018The Bodysnatcher\u2019 is coming off a victory in his bare-knuckle boxing debut at BKB 46 after a pair of gloveless MMA wins under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/jesse-ronson-touches-on-jorge-masvidals-bare-knuckle-mma-promotion-and-gamebreds-uncertain-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jorge Masvidal\u2019s Gamebred Bare Knuckle MMA<\/a> banner.<\/p>\n<p>Jourdain and Ronson were actually supposed to fight at one point, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapology.com\/fightcenter\/bouts\/420789-tko-47-the-body-snatcher-jesse-ronson-vs-charles-air-jourdain\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a champ vs. champ fight in TKO<\/a> many moons ago in Montreal. When asked what his thoughts are on the Charles Jourdain-Davey Grant fight coming up on October 18th at the UFC Vancouver card, Ronson said [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat should be a great fight for Charles. So he\u2019s coming. He just had a kid. He\u2019s in dad mode now. He\u2019s been off for a little bit. Davey Grant\u2019s older. I think he\u2019s 38. They have a similar record. Davey Grant\u2019s a banger. And Charles is just a younger, faster [fighter].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be it because, you know, some fighters they have a kid and it changes them\u2026 There\u2019s a lot of fighters like that where it motivates some people and then others it doesn\u2019t. So it\u2019ll be interesting to see what Charles shows up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut based off of what I\u2019m seeing on his Instagram and everything else, it\u2019s still the same Charles Jourdain. So this should be a showcase fight like hey, welcome back. You know, here\u2019s a veteran everybody knows, highlight reel this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel that Charles is going to do that. I think he\u2019s at Bazooka Joe\u2019s right now training. So he\u2019s definitely taking it serious and, you know, to have a newborn kid, to be able to step away from him, and put the training in. You know, some guys can\u2019t do it. It\u2019s just difficult for them but he\u2019s doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Charles Jourdain at UFC Vancouver: \u201cAir Jourdain is coming back\u201d, says Jesse Ronson<\/p>\n<p>Further delving into his thoughts on this looming Charles Jourdain in-cage outing at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/aiemann-zahabi\/aiemann-zahabi-compares-merab-dvalishvili-to-gsp-ahead-of-cory-sandhagen-ufc-320-fight\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> UFC Vancouver<\/a>, Ronson continued [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope he [Charles Jourdain] uses that pent up anger and aggression and, you know, like missing his kid to his advantage. Because I feel again, Charles Jourdain, he\u2019s not the most; at \u201945, he wasn\u2019t going to do anything, in my opinion. But at \u201935, I think he\u2019s got a good chance. Just based on; because he\u2019s fought the majority of his career at \u201945.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust his hips and whatnot, I can\u2019t see anybody really out cardioing him. Nobody\u2019s going to out strike him. Nobody\u2019s going to out flash him. They may be able to out wrestle, but like who at \u201935 is a real standout, grinder wrestler? I don\u2019t know. So, I have I think he\u2019ll do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019ll definitely get top 10 and this fight in Vancouver, I\u2019m very excited because I feel like the the flying scissor knee, the Air Jourdain is coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Jourdain prepares for a looming UFC Fight Night bout in the great fight north, and a fellow&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,91822,92065,641,91120,638,82,16050,640,75381],"class_list":["post-182306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-charles-jourdain","tag-davey-grant","tag-fighting","tag-jesse-ronson","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-tko","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
