TORONTO – Charles Jourdain says he’s not about to let the excitement of fighting in his home country negatively impact his performance at UFC 297. Jourdain (15-6-1 MMA, 6-5-1 UFC) will compete in Canada for the first time in his UFC career when he takes on Sean Woodson (10-1-1 MMA, 4-1-1 UFC) in Saturday’s event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. With an over 85 percent finish rate, the Quebec-born fighter expects fans to be fiending for an action-packed fight. “Yes, but I need to make sure that the fans’ thirst for blood doesn’t get mixed between mine,” Jourdain told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s UFC 296 media day. “I need to stay very strategic with Sean, because I think one of his most dangerous attacks is the knee down the middle, and I’m a pressure fighter. So I need to be very careful I don’t lose my composure because you guys are screaming so much.” Jourdain admits that sometimes he can’t help it.
