A new welterweight bout has been added to the UFC 255 line-up as Alan Jouban and Jared Gooden will clash at the upcoming pay-per-view.
Jouban is making his first appearance inside of the octagon in 2020 and the welterweight is hoping to get back into the win column following his split decision loss to Dwight Grant in April 2019. Overall, Jouban has only gotten two wins in his last five fights, beating Mike Perry (via unanimous decision at UFC on Fox 22) and Ben Saunders (via KO at UFC on Fox 28). His professional record currently stands at 16 wins and 7 losses.
Gooden will be making his UFC debut here and the welterweight is entering on the strength of a three-fight winning streak. Prior to his transition over to the UFC, Gooden competed in Titan Fighting Championship, National Fighting Championship, and Legacy Fighting Alliance. In four out of his last five fights, Gooden managed to win either by TKO or submission. His professional record currently stands at 17 wins and 4 losses.
