Nathaniel Wood Set To Open Up Saturday's Card
4 years agoNathaniel Wood (16-4) entered the UFC white-hot, winning his first three bouts by submission. Wood is one of the bantamweight division's hot upcoming prospects after a successful stint in Cage Warriors. The young English fighter averages 4.30 significant strikes per minute among his four UFC bouts. He also averages almost two takedowns per contest at 1.90 and has a takedown defense of 80%. Heading into Saturday's card, Wood is DraftKings' highest-salaried fighter at $9,500. He's averaged 83.5 points per contest, and that's including his most recent defeat to John Dodson where he only scored 28 points. Coming off of a third-round TKO, look for Wood to come out of the gates strong to get back on track.
