Nathaniel Wood puts on a clinic and defeats Charles Rosa. He just couldn’t miss. Perhaps the best we have seen from Wood, Featherweight looks like the place for “The Prospect” to prosper. Not only striking he managed to defend takedowns and survive a deep submission attempt.
Exceptional distance management, his hands couldn’t miss. His main weapon of attack which was like a laser-focused piston was his low calf kick. Using it throughout the fight, Rosa’s leg was chewed up. He landed more strikes against Charles than anyone else he has faced in his UFC career. Taking him off his feet with it several times. Featherweight might have a new name claiming the ranks very soon.
