"Jourdain was last in action at UFC Vancouver in October, when he put away Davey Grant via guillotine. That was the second straight guillotine choke submission for Jourdain, who has earned back-to-back Performance of the Night bonuses for his wins over Grant and Victor Henry."
"The good news for Jourdain, who is now 2-0 as a bantamweight after spending years at 145lbs, is that the UFC's post-fight bonuses have doubled to $100,000 U.S. (the promotion also introduced a $25,000 finish bonus with the onset of the Paramount+ broadcast deal)."
"Of late, Phillips has been trending in the opposite direction, losing bouts against Rob Font and Vinicius Oliveira. He's 6-3 overall in the company."
Charles Jourdain has been officially added to the UFC Winnipeg card scheduled for April 18, 2026, at Canada Life Centre. The Canadian bantamweight will face Kyler Phillips in what is expected to be a popular matchup. Jourdain enters on a strong streak, having won his last two fights via guillotine choke submission, earning consecutive Performance of the Night bonuses. His most recent victory came against Davey Grant at UFC Vancouver in October. Phillips, conversely, has struggled recently with losses to Rob Font and Vinicius Oliveira. The event is headlined by Gilbert Burns versus Mike Malott at welterweight and features multiple other competitive matchups.
