The featherweight main card bout between Nate Landwehr and Morgan Charrière takes place at UFC on ESPN 70 on July 12, 2025, at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. This is a classic stylistic clash between a hard-nosed brawler with proven UFC experience and a French knockout artist making his mark in the Octagon.
Nate Landwehr
Nate Landwehr is a veteran featherweight known for his relentless pace, iron will, and crowd-pleasing style. A former M-1 Global Featherweight Champion, "The Train" is beloved for getting into gritty, high-volume brawls and pushing opponents to their limits.
Landwehr is coming off a TKO loss to Choi Doo-ho in December 2024, but he showed he still carries big power in his prior first-round KO of Jamall Emmers. Though 37 years old, Landwehr is durable, scrappy, and thrives in messy pocket exchanges where he can wear down opponents. He’s also shown finishing variety, with nine career KOs and two submissions.
Landwehr’s biggest vulnerability is his defense. He’s been stopped multiple times in the UFC—by Herbert Burns, Julian Erosa, and Choi Doo-ho—and his aggressive style often leaves him open to counters.

Prediction
This matchup is a fascinating clash of pressure brawler vs. sharpshooting finisher. Landwehr’s strategy will be to force Charrière into uncomfortable exchanges along the fence, make it ugly, and use clinch work and volume to break him down. Charrière, in turn, will look to use angles, timing, and body work to catch Landwehr on the way in.
Landwehr’s age (37) and damage taken in recent fights are big concerns against Charrière’s power and precision. While Landwehr can absolutely turn this into a war and test Charrière’s resolve, the Frenchman’s younger, cleaner striking and body attack make him a bad matchup for an aging brawler who’s been stopped multiple times.
If Charrière stays composed under pressure and picks his shots, he can find a finish—even if he has to absorb some early heat.
Prediction:
Morgan Charrière def. Nate Landwehr via TKO (Punches) in Round 2.
Expect a wild, fan-friendly start with Landwehr charging forward, but Charrière should capitalize on openings, target the body, and finish with strikes once Landwehr slows down.
