Manolo Zecchini
Angelo Veneziano
Italy
Routed in UFC debut
Zecchini lost to Morgan Charriere via KO (strikes) at 3:51 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Making his UFC debut, Zecchini looked for all the world like the +300 underdog he entered as. A pair of body kicks appeared to shut Zecchini's insides down before Charriere followed up and closed the show. Primarily spending the entirety of his career on the Italian regional scene, the 26-year-old Zecchini has extremely limited upside in what is one of the deepest divisions in the sport at 145 pounds.
