Drops close split decision in Vegas
FeatherweightUFC
April 6, 2024
Charriere lost to Jose Mariscal via split decision (28-29, 30-27, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight was close and no one would have batted an eye if Charriere had gotten the decision, although the 30-27 scorecard, the only one in his favor, is quite awful. Morgan appeared to drop Round 1 and win Round 2, making Round 3 the one that mattered. The final frame was close throughout, but Charriere really struggled in the final minute or so after getting caught in a difficult position on the mat and that allowed Mariscal to pull ahead for good. The positive news is that Morgan managed a couple takedowns and stuffed 7-of-8 attempts from his opponent, both strong signs from a guy known almost entirely for his striking.

Charriere is scheduled to face Seungwoo Choi in a featherweight bout at the UFC's April 6 event in Las Vegas, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Charriere made his UFC debut in September last year and made quick work of Manolo Zecchini, but Choi might represent a tougher challenge. Choi recently snapped a three-fight losing streak in August, when he clinched his first victory since 2021 after defeating Jarno Errens via unanimous decision.
Quick stoppage win in UFC debut
FeatherweightUFC
September 2, 2023
Charriere defeated Manolo Zecchini via KO (strikes) at 3:51 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a -375 favorite in a bout between a pair of debuting fighters, Charriere put on quite a show. Instead of constantly going headhunting like we see from many competitors, Morgan invested in body work, and it ended up putting his opponent away. He was able to crack Zecchini with a pair of kicks right to the gut, the second of which led to the sequence of events which ended the fight. It would also go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Charriere will be 28 years of age in late-October and has been up and down on the regional scene, so it's fair to wonder just how high his ceiling is, but this was a great start to his UFC run.
Set for debut in Paris
FeatherweightUFC
August 28, 2023
Charriere will make his UFC debut against Manolo Zecchini in a featherweight matchup at UFC Paris on Sept. 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Charriere is riding a three-fight winning streak under the banner of Cage Warriors that includes back-to-back stoppages, and he'll now get to make his official UFC debut in his home country of France. Standing in his way is a fellow debuting fighter in Zecchini, a 26-year-old who has won back-to-back fights on the Italian regional circuits. As of the beginning of fight week, Charriere is a betting favorite of approximately (-300).
