Chepe Mariscal (16-6 MMA, 3-0 UFC) pushed his win streak to six after earning a competitive split decision win over Morgan Charriere (19-10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in the UFC Apex on Saturday.
Mariscal graded his performance an A-, as he felt he did what he wanted to do against Charriere: have fun and fight a good bout. He said Charriere was a very tough opponent with a very high fighter IQ.
“He definitely tested me and some of my limits,” Mariscal told MMASucka. “He showed me how much more I’ve evolved.”
Mariscal found success when he muddied the waters in rounds 1 and 3, pressing Charriere up against the clinch and pushing the pace.
