Final Prediction

One of Morgan Charriere’s biggest moments in the UFC was his head-kick knockout in his debut season. He is a true showman who knows how to perform. He also has a knack for earning Fight of the Night bonuses.

His head coach, Eduardo Rodrigues, will likely craft a strategy to secure a win within the first two rounds. That’s where Charriere has the biggest advantage in this fight.

Nathaniel Wood, on the other hand, has consistently won by unanimous decision in recent bouts. It wouldn’t be surprising if that trend continues.

Picking a winner in this matchup is tough. Instead, I’ll focus on the method of victory and how many rounds the fight might last.
