Meanwhile, ‘Air’ Jourdain lands 4.79 significant strikes with an accuracy of 45%. He absorbs 4.11 significant strikes with a defense rate of 61%. He has a takedown defense of 47%.

Erosa needs to understand his limits and tone down his ultra instinctive aggression a bit. If he can look back at his flurry of knockout losses, he would understand what he needs to do. He always feels slogging on his opponents will fetch him victory. Sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn’t, and this battle against Jourdain is far from a straightforward slugging fest for ‘Juicy J’.

Jourdain has explosive punching power combined with durability. This way, Erosa’s game style could actually favor Jourdain instead of helping him. Erosa, though, has a short in the armor if he could bring his wrestling skills, but Jourdain can last long and is a scratchy customer, meaning it would backfire big time for ‘Juicy J’. In the end, it seems to go in the favor of the ‘Air’.

Final Prediction: Jourdain via third-round knockout
