Nathaniel Wood and Morgan Charriere set for mouthwatering UFC London clash

Nathaniel Wood and Morgan Charriere will meet in a mouthwatering featherweight fight at UFC London.

On 22 March, Wood will step out in front of a home crowd at the O2 Arena, while Charriere is expected to bring his usual legion of French fans.

Wood, 31, has a 4-1 record in his last five fights, having beaten Daniel Pineda on points in Manchester last August.

Prior to that result, Muhammad Naimov outpointed Wood in late 2023 to halt the Londoner’s three-fight win streak against Charles Rosa, Charles Jourdain and Andre Fili.

Meanwhile, Charriere is 2-1 in the UFC since joining the promotion in 2023. In his UFC debut, the Frenchman stopped Manolo Zecchini in Paris, before suffering a split-decision loss to Chepe Mariscal last April.

Charriere, 29, bounced back with a knockout of Gabriel Miranda in September, however, as he returned to Paris.
