Charles Jourdain challenges Marlon Vera to striking-only fight

Canadian featherweight Charles Jourdain has issued a callout to Marlon Vera, proposing a stand-up battle with specific conditions. Jourdain stated 'How are you doing, Marlon? No takedowns, no bullshit. A fight on the hands,' making it clear he wants a purely striking contest. The challenge suggests Jourdain is confident in his boxing abilities and wants to test them against the Ecuadorian veteran. Whether Vera will accept these terms or the UFC will book the fight remains to be seen.
