Canadian fighter Charles Jourdain issued a challenge to Marlon Vera via social media. Jourdain specifically proposed a stand-up only bout with no takedowns, writing "No takedowns, no shit. Hands only fight." The callout represents a specific challenge for a striking battle rather than a mixed martial arts contest with all disciplines.

No response from Vera or his team has been reported, and no indication was given whether UFC officials are considering making the bout.
