Second participation in UFC Paris and second victory by KO for Morgan Charrière. In the -66 kg category, “The Last Pirate” extinguished Gabriel Miranda this Saturday in front of a hot Bercy audience.
Just after the first KO of the evening by Farès Ziam, Morgan Charrière continued to delight the French public by also winning by KO, against Gabriel Miranda. This Saturday, in front of a crazy crowd, already standing and noisy for his entrance, “The Last Pirate” extinguished the Brazilian at the start of the second round. A single blow was enough: in a stricking phase, Miranda turned her back on him – a fatal error – and the Frenchman took the opportunity to send a huge left hook which hit the mark.
On paper, Morgan Charrière was the biggest favorite of all the French fighters on the main card, facing the Brazilian who is not unknown to the French public. He was in fact Benoît Saint Denis’s opponent in 2022 for UFC Paris, when the “God of War” had forever become the first Frenchman to fight (and win) on his soil for the American organization for a victory by TKO in the second round.
Two victories in two fights at UFC Paris
This success allows the Frenchman to find his way back to victory. He was left with a split decision defeat in a big war against Chepe Mariscal in April in Las Vegas. And he is still undefeated at UFC Paris, after his victory in the last edition against Manolo Zecchini, also thanks to a thunderous knockout.
Something to enjoy with the public. “It was a complicated fight to take, with a short training camp, only two weeks, there was no real gameplan, I just came in the cage to beat him up,” said the Frenchman after the fight, before asking the wild spectators to sing a Marseillaise.
