Henry’s long-overdue UFC debut came in 2022, as “La Magnosta” finally got the call after a decade of experience, which made him ready to hit the ground running in a deep bantamweight division. Henry has still suffered his setbacks, most notably in the last great performance of Raphael Assuncao’s career two years ago, but his dedication to fast-paced and high-volume striking has been enough to frustrate—if not overwhelm—his opponents more often than not. Jourdain’s move down to bantamweight might unlock some additional power, but Henry has yet to be finished in a long career. If anything, it might be hard to bank on Jourdain’s gas tank down at 135 pounds given that he’s matched with someone who will likely put him through 15 minutes of a high pace. Add in Jourdain’s questionable decision making of late, and the Canadian needs to prove himself before earning the benefit of the doubt. The pick is Henry via decision.
