By The Numbers: Alan Jouban


A fan-friendly live-by-the-sword-die-by-the-sword approach has earned Alan Jouban a reputation as one the true action heroes in mixed martial arts.

The Black House and 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu representative finds himself on the rebound as he prepares to meet the unbeaten Niko Price in a UFC Fight Night 114 welterweight showcase on Saturday at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City. Jouban last competed in the UFC Fight Night 107 co-main event on March 18, when he submitted to a second-round guillotine choke from Icelandic grappling ace Gunnar Nelson. He has never suffered back-to-back defeats in his in his 20-fight career. Jouban sports 10 finishes among his 15 career victories, all 10 by knockout or technical knockout. He has compiled a 6-3 record since arriving in the Ultimate Fighting Championship a little less than three years ago.
