France’s Morgan Charriere silenced a partisan crowd at UFC Nashville on Saturday, stopping hometown favorite Nate Landwehr 27 seconds into the third round of their featherweight bout. A looping right hand rocked Landwehr, and Charriere followed with a barrage of punches until referee intervention produced the knockout. The result lifts Charriere to 20-11-1 and ends a two-fight skid that included a decision loss to Nathaniel Wood. Landwehr, fighting about 60 miles from where he grew up, falls to 18-7 and has now dropped consecutive contests after a TKO defeat to Doo Ho Choi at UFC 310. Charriere entered the cage as a −250 favorite and repeatedly damaged Landwehr’s lead calf before scoring several takedowns in the opening round. Landwehr rallied with volume striking in the second, but the Frenchman’s power proved decisive early in the third, underscoring his push toward the division’s top-15 ranks.
