Morgan Charriere gave the French fans exactly what they wanted. On Saturday at Accor Arena, Charriere faced Gabriel Miranda in a featherweight contest on the main card of UFC Paris . Perhaps surprisingly for “The Last Pirate,” Miranda proved tough in the first round, hanging with Charriere and even threatening with a submission near the end of the round.
Things didn’t go as well for Miranda in the second round though as Charriere came out even more aggressive, and when Miranda threw a wild spinning backfist, Charriere countered with a thunderous left hook that floored the Brazilian and sent the French crowd into an uproar. The win is Charriere’s second in the UFC, following a disappointing split decision loss to Chepe Mariscal his last time out, and afterward “The Last Pirate” led the Paris crowd in a rendition of the French national anthem. Check out Charriere’s incredible highlight reel knockout below.
