Prediction: Morgan Charriere via Decision
Charrière just has the cleaner, smarter game. Landwehr is a dog, no doubt. He’s got that pressure-heavy style, walks dudes down, makes it ugly, and he’s got wins over some legit names. But the problem’s always been the same—he’s way too open defensively. He forces chaos, and while that works against guys who break under pressure, it leaves him wide open for anyone with composure and timing.
Enter Charrière. This dude is smooth. The footwork is sharp, the defense is tight, and he’s not just standing there trading—he’s moving, making reads, and setting traps. When Landwehr crashes the pocket, Charrière’s gonna be ready with counters. He doesn’t overcommit, doesn’t get drawn into brawls, and that’s gonna be a huge edge in this matchup. Add in the fact that he’s quicker, more precise, and knows how to pick his shots—this could get real frustrating for Nate.
And let’s not forget, Charrière isn’t just a striker. He’s well-rounded, and if he wants to mix in the grappling to slow the pressure down or steal moments, he’s more than capable. It’s hard to see Landwehr winning unless he drags Charrière into a war and completely breaks his rhythm—but Charrière just doesn’t fight that kind of fight. He’s too clean, too smart, and this matchup feels like it plays right into his strengths.
