Morgan Charriere Betting Preview

Charriere has been victorious in his last three fights. The previous positive showdown he had was a third round TKO against Diego Silva at CW 157 back in July earlier this year.

18 of his career wins have been accumulated by 10 knockouts, three submissions, and five decisions. Seven of his wins have ended in the first round and eight of his nine losses have come by decision.

“The Last Pirate” makes his debut in the UFC with this battle. He has primarily bounced around different fighting organizations over the years, most notably going 6-3 in Cage Warriors Fighting Championship and 3-0 in Octogone Fighting Club.

He is currently ranked as the third best professional featherweight in all of the United Kingdom. This is a great opportunity to set himself apart from the competition and look good internationally.

Manolo Zecchini Betting Preview

Zecchini aims to extend his current two-fight winning streak as he prepares for this battle. His previous success was a second round knockout against Aboubakar Tounkara back in October of last year at the Venator FC 12 event.

He has plenty of different wins on his resumes, with 11 that have been awarded for eight knockouts, one submission, one decision, and one by other. He has nine resulting in first round finishes and one loss by each category.

"Angelo Veneziano" is making his debut in the UFC and has a tough opponent on a big stage. He has also moved around quite a bit over the years, but has primarily found success at the Venator Fighting Championship (4-1).

He has earned a ranking of the 33rd best professional featherweight in Eastern Europe. He has a great opportunity to make a good impression, especially in front of a home crowd.
