Jourdain (15-6) is scheduled to take on Sean Woodson (10-1) in front of his home crowd at UFC 297 this weekend at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Jourdain acknowledged his reach disadvantage against Woodson while also revealing an awkward counter-strategy.
“For this fight, I'm at [a] disadvantage because of the reach. I will use the same strategy I use with my stepsister: penetrate and dominate,” Jourdain wrote.
While the post raised eyebrows for most who saw it, The Mac Life’s Oscar Willis dared to ask Jourdain about it during UFC 297 media day.
“It’s important to take chances in life. I should’ve phrased it that way. No, I’m just having fun with Twitter. Yeah, I’m having fun. It’s a fun role that I say stupid stuff. And I’m not that related. We have the same father, but we have a different mother, so we’re not that close.”
Jourdain is coming off a Round 1 submission win over Ricardo Ramos in September that put the Canadian on a two-fight winning streak. Meanwhile, his opponent Woodson recently decisioned Dennis Buzukja and is undefeated in his last four outings.
