UFC Fight Night 243 video: Morgan Charriere crumples Gabriel Miranda with big left hook

Few men are more popular in Accor Arena than “The Last Pirate.”

At UFC Fight Night 243 on Saturday in Paris, Morgan Charriere didn’t disappoint the French crowd when he knocked out Gabriel Miranda at 0:27 mark of Round 2 in their featherweight matchup.

Charriere (20-10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) found Miranda (17-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) out of position with his guard down after a spinning attempt and perfectly placed a big left hook right on the Brazilian’s jaw. After Miranda fell, Charriere pounced and the fight was stopped nearly immediately, which sent the arena into pandemonium (via X):

After the win, Charriere led the raucous Paris crowd in a signing of “La Marseillaise,” the national anthem of France.

The victory returned Charriere into the win column after a split decision loss to Chepe Mariscal in April. For Miranda, the loss comes after his first UFC win, a submission over Shane Young in September 2023.
