Nathaniel Wood (18-5 MMA) has made it clear that he is looking to bring the ‘bang’ against Charles Jourdain (13-5-1 MMA) ahead of the pair’s meeting at UFC Paris this Saturday.

Wood is set to make a quick return to the Octagon six weeks on after dominating Charles Rosa (14-8 MMA) at UFC London this July. That performance was his first in nearly two years following a series of injuries that had kept him out of competition.

The Londoner is eager to continue what he started since getting signed by the promotion three years ago as he aims to make a statement against Jourdain after accepting the fight on two weeks’ notice, reminding the MMA world and his fans what the fuss is still all about.

Nathaniel Wood breaks down his fight with Charles Jourdain

Ahead of his bout against Charles Jourdain, Wood has detailed his reasoning as to why he will beat him on Saturday.

Although Wood believes ‘Air’ Jourdain is a dangerous and unpredictable opponent, during a recent interview with LowKickMMA’s Mike Owens, ‘The Prospect’ previewed his fight with Jourdain, revealing how he believes the events will play out at the Accor Arena in Paris.

“He’s got grabbling skills, but he prefers to strike, he likes to be in a fight, he likes to come and bang, and he’s obviously got a good skill set as well,” Wood stated.

“He is not a wild striker but he’s quite reckless, he throws quite unusual stuff like spinning kicks or spinning punches,” Wood continued. “But yeah, I’m totally down with that I’d like to think that my technical striking ability Is going to be too much for him. It’s an exciting fight, I think we are gonna meet in the middle and we are gonna bang.”

Despite admitting that Charles Jourdain is a tough challenge, Nathaniel Wood also sees that being his downfall as he suspects he will be able to catch him coming in on his striking advances and come out with a second-round stoppage victory.

“I’m feeling confident, and I am feeling confident that I’m gonna put another loss on his record … I’m seeing a second-round TKO, I think Charles is very dangerous, but I believe he will expose himself exposed whilst he’s being dangerous, and I believe I will get a TKO finish in the second round.”

Rebounding to the winner’s enclosure following a third career defeat, Shane Burgos, a native of The Bronx, most recently featured on home soil at UFC 268 in November at Madison Square Garden, defeating Billy Quarantillo in a unanimous decision showing. Both Burgos and Quarantillo were heralded post-fight for their Fight of the Year contender showing.

Landing his second consecutive victory at UFC Vegas 52, Jourdain managed to stop the wily, Lando Vannata with an impressive opening round guillotine victory. The win came as Jourdain’s thirteenth professionally.

Shane Burgos vs. Charles Jourdain finally has its landing pad slated

Eurosport reporter, Marcel Dorff was first to report the location and date of Burgos’ matchup with Jourdain, with Cageside Press reporter, Alex Behunin previously reporting the promotion’s intention to book the two featherweight contenders opposite each other.

Prior to his win over Quarantillo, Shane Burgos battled over the course of two gruelling rounds against Muay Thai ace, Edson Barboza, before dropping an early third round knockout defeat in one of the most bizarre finishing sequences in recent memory.

Touted as a major player at 145lbs, Burgos’ other professional defeats have come against division striking aces, Josh Emmett, and Calvin Kattar – while notching impressive wins of his own against Charles Rosa, Cub Swanson, and Makwan Amirkhani.

Landing in the UFC back in May 2019 in ‘The Big Apple’ to boot, Jourdain has since scored a quartet of Octagon successes, defeating the above mentioned, Vannata, Andre Ewell, Marcelo Rojo, and Choi Doo Ho.

A featherweight banger between Shane Burgos and Charles Jourdain will go down at UFC Long Island on July 16.

Multiple sources confirmed the planned booking to Cageside Press’ Alex Behunin last month, with UFC 276 being reported as the targeted date. On Thursday, Eurosport’s Marcel Dorff confirmed that the matchup will take place in New York two weeks after International Fight Week.

Sharing the news on Twitter, Burgos wrote, “And we’re back.”

Burgos (14-2), who is currently ranked #14 at 145 pounds, is rarely, if ever, in a boring fight. Despite being 1-2 across his last three appearances, “Hurricane” never fails to entertain, even in defeat.

After going 6-1 in his first seven Octagon outings, a run of form that included wins against Cub Swanson and Makwan Amirkhani, and a sole defeat to now-top-five contender Calvin Kattar, Burgos fell to consecutive losses for the first time in his professional career. Following a narrow defeat to Josh Emmett in one of 2020’s Fight of the Year contenders, a knockout loss to Edson Barboza, remembered for the freakish nature of the KO, made it back-to-back setbacks.

In yet another entertaining three-round war, Burgos returned to the win column last time out at UFC 268, outpointing fellow fan favorite Billy Quarantillo. In the 31-year-old’s way of a two-fight win streak could be Jourdain (13-4-1).

After an underwhelming start to his UFC career, which saw him go 2-3-1 in his first six appearances, Jourdain has hit his best form yet, winning two in a row inside the Octagon for the first time. Having rebounded with an emphatic decision victory over Andre Ewell last December, the Canadian opened his 2022 account with an impressive first-round submission triumph against 12-fight UFC vet Lando Vannata at UFC Vegas 52 last month.

While Burgos will be looking to maintain his place on the featherweight ladder on July 16, Jourdain will be hoping to add a number next to his name. Although they may have different goals for UFC Long Island, both will be targeting another memorable contest, and perhaps one that will be worthy of a $50,000 FOTN bonus.

The fights currently expected to take place on the UFC Long Island card are as follows:

Brian Ortega vs. Yair Rodriguez (featherweight main event)

Askar Askarov vs. Alex Perez (flyweight)

Michelle Waterson vs. Amanda Lemos (women’s strawweight)

Ricky Simón vs. Jack Shore (bantamweight)

Shane Burgos vs. Charles Jourdain (featherweight)

Li Jingliang vs. Muslim Salikhov (welterweight)

Jessica Penne vs. Brianna Fortino (women’s strawweight)

Dustin Jacoby vs. Da Un Jung (light heavyweight)

Billy Quarantillo vs. Bill Algeo (featherweight)

Punahele Soriano vs. Dalcha Lungiambula (middleweight)

Herbert Burns vs. Khusein Askhabov (featherweight)
