Prospect Watch is a weekly feature highlighting fighters on the FloCombat North American MMA Prospect List who recently competed or are set to fight this weekend.
Louis is the younger brother of another high-level prospect, No. 17-ranked Charles Jourdain. Louis is coming off a win against highly touted Tony Laramie and looking to make it two in a row for the TKO promotion. Fujino is an undefeated fighter out of Tristar.
Barber really impressed people when she took out highly touted Itzel Esquivel with a stunning first-round submission in June. At just 19 years old, Barber has a bright future but is coming off her first loss after five straight wins.

Prospect Watch is a weekly feature highlighting fighters on the FloCombat North American MMA Prospect List who recently competed or are set to fight this weekend.
Friday, Sept. 8
#19 Featherweight Alex Morgan (7-2) vs. Joao Luis Nogueira (24-6)
Morgan is on quite an impressive four-bout win streak, including a first-round knockout of No. 15-ranked TJ Laramie in April at TKO 38. Meanwhile, Nogueira is on a nine-fight win streak. As a fighter with tons of experience, he is a huge test here for Morgan.
Bantamweight Louis Jourdain (4-1) vs. Atsushi Fujino (3-0)
Louis is the younger brother of another high-level prospect, No. 17-ranked Charles Jourdain. Louis is coming off a win against highly touted Tony Laramie and looking to make it two in a row for the TKO promotion. Fujino is an undefeated fighter out of Tristar.#1 Heavyweight Adam Dyczka (5-0) vs. Ricardeau Francois (10-14)
Dyczka is looking to stay undefeated and remain as FloCombat's No. 1 heavyweight prospect. Francois is 2-6 in his last 8 bouts.Bantamweight Tyler Wilson (2-0) vs. Frederick Dupras (0-0)
After beating the previously mentioned Louis Jourdain in January, Wilson showed he is an up-and-comer himself. Only 2-0 as a pro, Wilson had a lot of experience on the amateur scene and compiled an 8-3 record. Dupras is making his pro debut.#2 Middleweight Ian Heinisch (8-0) vs. Markus Perez (8-0)
Heinisch is an undefeated fighter out of Factory-X who is looking for his biggest win of his career. This fight is for the vacant LFA middleweight title, and with a win here expect the UFC to give Heinisch a call. Perez is an undefeated Brazilian with wins over two ex-UFC fighters in Paulo Thiago and Ildemar Alcantara.
Women's Strawweight Maycee Barber (1-0) vs. Mallory Martin (1-1)
Barber really impressed people when she took out highly touted Itzel Esquivel with a stunning first-round submission in June. At just 19 years old, Barber has a bright future but is coming off her first loss after five straight wins.Featherweight Derek Brenon (5-0) vs. Boimah Karmo (4-2)
Brenon is a former NCAA Division III champion with a black belt in judo and a background in jiu-jitsu. Undefeated as a pro and amateur, Brenon will be making his LFA debut against Karmo, who is on a two-fight win streak.Flyweight Chris Collins (2-0) vs. Jason Huntley (4-5)
Collins had a long and impressive career in the amateur ranks and finished with a 10-3 record. The undefeated 24-year-old is undefeated as a pro and looking to make a name for himself. Huntley is on a three-fight skid.*Watch Collins fight at Mecca 10 LIVE on Flocombat
