10 Amazing UFC Fights You Must Watch In February
5. John Dodson Vs. Nathaniel Wood - UFC Fight Night 167
There are a lot of talented British fighters currently competing in the UFC at the moment and it's a beautiful thing to see. The likes of Darren Till, Arnold Allen and Molly McCann are all surging up their respective rankings and are getting plenty of praise, but there's one exciting Englishman who seems to be flying under the radar at the moment and that's Nathaniel Wood.
Competing in the UFC's bantamweight division and a student of UFC veteran, Brad Pickett, Wood has looked sensational since he made his debut for the promotion in 2018. Three impressive finishes inside the Octagon against decent opposition meant that his next opponent would be a serious step-up in competition. He certainly got that in former flyweight title challenger, John Dodson.
The Ultimate Fighter season 14 winner has had a strange career inside the UFC, showing flashes of the absurd knockout power that made him so feared on the show, but also putting fans to sleep with his inactivity when competing. Wood will not allow Dodson to stay static during their bout, which could open both men up to some dangerous attacks throughout.
