The bout between Charles Jourdain and Jean Silva has been made official for UFC 303: McGregor vs Chandler on June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The pair squares off in the three-rounder at featherweight.
Jourdain (15-7-1) looks to get back in the win column. In his previous outing in January at UFC 297, Canada’s 28-year-old dropped a split decision against Sean Woodson, which snapped his two-fight winning streak.
Silva (12-2) won nine fights in a row. The 27-year-old Dana White’s Contender Series alumni of Brazil stopped Westin Wilson in the first round of his UFC debut at UFC Vegas 84 also in January.
