Jousset (10-2) joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2023 with an 8-2 record on a three-fight winning streak. The Kiwi has gone 2-0 in the Las Vegas-based promotion since then, first recording a Round 1 submission against Kiefer Crosbie at UFC 293 followed by a unanimous decision win over Kenan Song in December.
Meanwhile, Gooden (23-9) is currently on his second UFC stint after going 1-3 in his first go with promotion. Looking to make it back to the big leagues, “Nite Train” returned to the regional circuit and went on to compile a record of 4-1 with three Round 2 finishes to earn his way back into the UFC. Gooden will face Jousset coming off a Round 2 submission victory over Wellington Turman in December.
