Logan Sarotte next fight vs Joshua James at Scrap Superfight 7

Logan Sarotte next fight is a jiu-jitsu match against Joshua James at Scrap Superfight 7 on November 22. Speaking with FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID on Millions, Sarotte said he has watched James compete for about four years, expects him to sit down early and is confident despite fighting 20 pounds heavier than he believes he should be.

What did Logan Sarotte say about Joshua James?

Logan Sarotte said his familiarity with Joshua James gives him an advantage going into Scrap Superfight 7. He has watched James compete in person and online for about four years, though the two have never faced each other. Sarotte believes their games are similar and expects both to look for leg attacks.

Four years of watching Joshua James

Sarotte knew briefly of James when he started jiu-jitsu. Since then, he has followed James’s matches closely enough to feel he knows his game well. That familiarity is part of why Sarotte feels ready for this matchup, rather than simply excited to take it.

A shared interest in leg attacks

As Sarotte sees it, both competitors tend to go for the legs. He believes he can meet James in that part of the match while bringing more than opponents who have tried to use James’s own approach against him. He pointed to aggression and other adjustments he intends to keep undisclosed. Sarotte described the bout as a high-level test and said he hopes to surprise people.

What did Logan Sarotte say about Scrap Superfight 7?

Logan Sarotte is returning to Scrap Superfights for a third appearance when he faces Joshua James at Scrap Superfight 7. He has competed on the promotion’s events twice before and described the atmosphere as electric and usually packed. He also credited Joseph with promoting the events and said they are improving.

That experience gives Sarotte a sense of what the event feels like, but he did not treat the James match as routine. He called it a particularly strong test, even after what he estimated could be nearly 20 superfights over his competitive career.

The November 22 match will be available to watch on Millions. Sarotte said he wants people who can watch to do so, and he hopes to entertain them. His account of the promotion focused on the crowd and the work behind the event rather than on any change to how he plans to compete.

How is Logan Sarotte preparing for Joshua James?

Logan Sarotte is working on his guard passing because he expects Joshua James to sit down within the first 30 seconds of their match. If James does, Sarotte plans to take top position, pass the guard and pursue submission attempts. He also mentioned trying to reach James’s back.

Passing after an early sit-down

The expectation comes from Sarotte’s years of watching James, not from a previous match between them. Sarotte sees a likely opening sequence and has made his passing game a focus in training. He outlined possible attacks from that position without claiming the match must follow one fixed route.

Keeping part of the plan private

Sarotte said he has other things prepared that he does not think James will be ready for, but he did not spell them out. He feels healthy and ready, and said he knows where he expects the match to go. His preparation combines that specific forecast for the opening with room to make adjustments once they compete.

Why did Logan Sarotte call for the Joshua James match?

Logan Sarotte said he asked for Joshua James after watching him compete at the previous Scrap Superfights event. Sarotte had competed there himself and lost what he described as a very close match. From the side of James’s match, he told Joseph that he wanted James next, and Joseph arranged it.

Asking Joseph for the matchup

The request followed the long period Sarotte had spent watching James, including matches seen in person. He did not describe the pairing as an unfamiliar opponent assigned to him. He identified James as the competitor he wanted after seeing him at the event.

Competing above his preferred weight

Sarotte acknowledged a weight concern while explaining why he remains confident. He put it plainly:

I'm fighting 20 pounds heavier than I should be but very confident

He does not expect that difference to decide the match. His reasoning is positional: if James sits down as Sarotte anticipates, Sarotte expects to be on top. That would let him pursue the passing and attacks he has been preparing, rather than rely on a contest of strength from the positions he expects to see.

What does Logan Sarotte want fans to see against Joshua James?

Logan Sarotte wants fans to see sustained pressure and aggression alongside his jiu-jitsu skills when he faces Joshua James. He said he is excited, feels healthy and wants the bout to entertain. For Sarotte, the appeal of the matchup is the chance to test his preparation against someone whose game he knows well.

He expects the match to show more than a familiar exchange of leg attacks. Sarotte believes he can bring added aggression and use the passing work he has emphasized in training. He also recognizes James as a high-level test, which is why making an impression in this match matters to him.

His immediate focus remains the November 22 superfight. He has also said he hopes to compete in MMA within the next year or so, but did not give a date or name an opponent for a prospective MMA debut.

How has Justin Hale helped Logan Sarotte prepare?

Justin Hale is Logan Sarotte’s coach at Meta Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Sarotte credited Hale with helping him sharpen his game for the Joshua James matchup and for future matches. He also spoke appreciatively of Hale’s support over time, making his coach one of the people he singled out when discussing preparation.

Sarotte did not assign a particular drill or tactical decision to Hale. The specific work Sarotte described for James was his own focus on guard passing and the positions he expects after an early sit-down. He credited the broader preparation to a coach who has remained with him through his competitive career.

Fans looking for Sarotte’s updates can find him on Instagram and TikTok, where he shared accounts under his name and a guard-pulling reference. He did not announce another match beyond James; his stated near-term goal is to arrive sharp for Scrap Superfight 7.
