The opening bout at UFC Fight Night this weekend will see Nathaniel Wood take on Morgan Charriere in the featherweight division. “The Prospect” has a pro record of 20-6-0, while “The Last Pirate” is 20-10-1. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Nathaniel Wood enters this match following an impressive victory over Daniel Pineda by unanimous decision, which was the ideal bounce back after losing to Muhammad Naimov.
However, the defeat to Naimov was the only one that The Prospect has suffered in his last five fights, which included wins over Andre Fili, Charles Jourdain and Charles Rosa - all by decision.
Wood has eight wins by KO/TKO, and holds a clear advantage on the feet, landing almost six significant strikes per minute, nearly double the number his upcoming opponent manages.
Meanwhile, Morgan Charriere will also be entering this match with confidence, having made light work of Gabriel Miranda in September 2024, knocking out the Brazilian in the second round.
That was the Frenchman’s second win in three in the UFC, with his previous two ending in victory on debut over Manolo Zecchini before a split-decision loss to Chepe Mariscal in April last year.
While The Last Pirate may struggle to outstrike this opponent, he is the more accomplished wrestler, averaging 2.47 takedowns per 15 minutes with a takedown accuracy of 57%. Thus, his best chance of victory here will likely come on the mat.

Our Nathaniel Wood vs Morgan Charriere Prediction
Both of these fighters have the ability to go the distance with little effort, but Wood will likely look to end this match early if he sees the opportunity given Charriere superiority on the mat.
However, whether the Frenchman will opt for a wrestling match is another matter. The Last Pirate has 12 KO/TKO wins under his belt, but he has yet to face an opponent that forces the tempo quite like Wood and he could be caught off-guard if he starts slowly. Our Nathaniel Wood vs Morgan Charriere prediction is Nathaniel Wood wins the match.
