View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn the post-fight octagon interview, Jourdain spoke to Joe Rogan and explained that he prioritized a result and a roster spot in the UFC over an exciting fight:“Yes sir, strategy was applied. I’m a very immature fighter and it shows in my record but tonight I’m stepping up my game. I’m showing what I’m capable of. And sorry guys, it was not the most exciting fight, I did my best. I was in the guard of a Gracie, it was very dangerous. So I want to keep my job and keep putting on an exciting fight and thank you New Jersey, you guys are a very good crowd.”Jourdain also praised Gracie's boxing and mentioned that a lack of adaptation was his opponent's undoing in their fight. The win extends the Canadian's record to five wins, five losses, and one draw in eleven fights in the UFC.Check out Jourdain's comments on YouTube:
