LiontipsMarlon Vera - Charles Jourdain: betting tip (cf 1.39) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Marlon Vera lost the last four fights in a row, and each time the outcome was determined by the judges' notes. In February, he lost to David Martinez, effectively giving his opponent the first two rounds. Prior to that, Vera lost by split decision to Ayman Zahabi, although some experts felt that the victory could well have gone to the Ecuadorian.
Two more defeats came by unanimous decision. Vera first lost to Daveson Figueiredo, and in March 2024 he was defeated by Sean O'Malley in a title fight. At the same time, Chito remains a rated UFC fighter — he currently ranks tenth in his weight class.
Vera started his professional career in 2010 at the regional level, and five years later he reached the UFC. During this time, the Ecuadorian has collected an impressive collection of bonuses and various awards. The 33-year-old fighter has 23 wins — eight by knockouts, five by decisions and ten by submission — with 12 defeats. Vera has a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Current form
Charles Jourdain approaches the meeting with Vera in a completely different mood. After a heavy defeat by Jean Silva in 2024, the Canadian decided to move down to the light heavyweight division. The decision turned out to be timely: after the division change, he won three fights in a row. Twice, Jourdain forced his rivals to surrender with his trademark guillotine. The victims of the reception were Victor Henry and Davey Grant. In April 2026, the Canadian had a longer fight with Kyler Phillips and took the victory by decision of the judges. The meeting received the status of the Fight of the evening.
Jourdain has been competing professionally since 2015, and joined the UFC in 2019 after winning the interim TKO Major League MMA lightweight championship belt. Before that, he became the champion of the same organization in the featherweight category. The 30-year-old fighter has 18 wins — eight by knockouts, three by decisions and seven by submission — and eight defeats. Like Vera, the Canadian holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Tip and bets
Now it is vital for Vera not only to win, but to remind herself of herself as a fighter who knows how to start fights without a long swing. And the opponent is suitable for this. Jourdain is quite active in the stand, likes to work as number one, but at the same time he is able to transfer the fight to the stalls and look for a chance for an early victory. The Ecuadorian has serious experience against a wide variety of opponents, and his defense against submissives looks quite reliable. Therefore, Jourdain's trademark guillotine does not seem to be a guaranteed weapon at all. At the same time, it is also not worth waiting for the instant defeat of Faith. Jourdain is able to take the opening round due to activity and pace. In the 15 UFC fights that reached the referee's decision, Vera won the first round only twice — against Pedro Munoz and Guanyu Ning. But even if the Canadian starts better, it doesn't mean that the fight will end quickly.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 rounds in 1.39
