Pre-fight analysis

Marlon Vera has lost four in a row without being finished once, and Charles Jourdain has won three straight without anyone noticing.

Marlon Vera's last four fights have all gone to the scorecards and he has lost all four. That is a specific kind of decline, and it is not the same as being finished: David Martinez outpointed him in February, Aiemann Zahabi in October 2025, Deiveson Figueiredo in August 2024, and Sean O'Malley over five rounds in a title fight in March 2024. Nobody has hurt him. Everybody has out-worked him. The…

Vera intel

Vera (23-12-1) has lost four straight, all by decision — David Martinez in February, Aiemann Zahabi in October 2025, Deiveson Figueiredo, and Sean O'Malley over five rounds. His last recorded win was over Pedro Munhoz in August 2023. A 78.0 chin rating and a 39.0 momentum score sum him up: hard to finish, no longer winning.

Jourdain intel

Jourdain (18-8-1) has won three in a row, outpointing Kyler Phillips in April 2026 after submitting Davey Grant in the first round and Victor Henry in the second. His 4.44 submission score is the highest here. The concern is a 56.0 chin rating and a second-round knockout loss to Jean Silva in 2024.

Key angles

Vera's 3.29 volume against a fighter who has out-worked better men — the same route that beat him four times

Jourdain's 4.44 submission score against a 2.67, and two submissions in his last three

A 78.0 chin rating against 56.0 if the fight is still competitive in the third

Vera's 45.5 quality-of-victory is still the higher figure — he has been losing to a better class of opponent

One point of composite rating separates them, which is no separation at all

Risk flags

Vera has never been finished across this losing run and is famously dangerous late

Jourdain's 56.0 chin rating gives him little room if Vera lands the kind of shot his 0.73 finish rate was built on
