Picks up win in native England
Wood defeated Andre Fili via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
This was a tale of three separate fights. Wood nearly stopped Fili in Round 1 following some early struggles, while the latter turned the table in Round 2, easily winning the frame. With the bout up for grabs in Round 3, both men slowed considerably, but Wood's repeated low kicks, combined with one big right hand, were enough to earn him the decision. Wood has very fast hands and legitimate power, but he absorbs more damage on the feet than you would like to see from a striker. That said, it's impossible to argue with the results. Wood is 4-1 in his past five fights dating back to July 2020.
