Davey Grant enters his bout against Charles Jourdain onSaturday, October 18, 2025 at UFC Fight Night 262 in Vancouver riding a wave of momentum. At 39 years old, Grant is in the best form of his career, having won four of his last five fights and currently on a two-fight winning streak, including a hard-fought decision over Da’Mon Blackshear in July 2025. His ability to absorb pressure and counter with sharp, unpredictable striking has earned him two Performance of the Night bonuses in his past four outings. Grant’s experience, durability, and relentless pace make him a dangerous veteran who thrives in wars of attrition. He carries a 15-7 MMA record (8-6 UFC) and has shown no signs of slowing down, despite his age.

Charles Jourdain, the 29-year-old Canadian bantamweight, comes in with a 16-8-1 record and a reputation for explosive, high-risk offense. He’s won eight of his 16 victories by knockout and six by submission, showcasing a well-rounded, aggressive game. His last fight was a second-round submission win over Victor Henry in November 2024, and he’s earned two Performance Bonuses in his last four fights. Jourdain’s game is built on power and volume—he’s known for throwing heavy, looping shots and rarely backing down. However, his defense has been exposed in the past, and his tendency to trade in the pocket leaves him vulnerable to counter-strikers like Grant. The home crowd in Vancouver adds extra pressure, but Jourdain’s confidence is sky-high, with former UFC veteran Jesse Ronson predicting a “highlight reel” finish.

The key storyline is the clash of styles and generations: Grant’s cerebral, high-volume pressure versus Jourdain’s explosive, all-or-nothing aggression. Grant’s superior cardio and fight IQ could neutralize Jourdain’s early bursts, while Jourdain’s power and submission threats—especially his guillotine and rear-naked choke threat—pose a constant danger. Neither fighter has faced the other before, so there’s no head-to-head history to draw from. With both men on winning streaks and no clear favorite, this fight is a true coin flip. The winner could vault into the top 10 of the bantamweight division, while the loser risks falling out of contention. Expect a chaotic, back-and-forth war where the fighter who lands the cleaner, more precise shots—likely Grant—will edge out the more flamboyant but riskier Jourdain.
