Fernand Yves Jabouin (born May 30, 1979) is a Haitian-Canadian mixed martial artist who competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2001, Jabouin has also formerly competed for the WEC.
Jabouin was born in Haiti, where he lived until he fled the war-torn country with his mother and two siblings, relocating in Canada. Jabouin began practicing the martial arts from a young age, as his father was a fan of Chuck Norris and the young Jabouin would often go to his local movie theatre to watch Kung Fu films. Jabouin attended college and graduated with a degree in Graphic Design, and used to work as an animator for television commercials.
Jabouin made his professional debut in 2001 on the regional circuit, fighting mostly in his native Canada and holding a professional record of 14-4 with 11 wins via knockout before being signed by the WEC.
Jabouin made his WEC debut against Raphael Assunção on October 10, 2009 at WEC 43, losing via split decision.
Jabouin was scheduled to face fellow Canadian Mark Hominick on January 10, 2010 at WEC 46, but was forced off the card with an injury. Jabouin was replaced by Bryan Caraway.
The fight eventually took place on June 20, 2010 at WEC 49. Jabouin was defeated by Hominick via second-round TKO, in a bout that earned Fight of the Night honors.
Jabouin defeated Brandon Visher via unanimous decision on November 11, 2010 at WEC 52.
On October 28, 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.
