Nathaniel Wood

Overview

Three submissions to open his UFC career, then eight decisions in the next ten wins. Nathaniel Wood, "The Last Kingsman," is a Featherweight out of Carshalton, South London, who fights for Great Britain Top Team and sits at 11-4 in the UFC.

The record tells a clear story of how he wins. His first three UFC fights all ended by submission, in the second or third round. Since then, every win has gone the distance, and he has not scored a stoppage in the UFC since March 2019.

He is not champion, and he enters his next fight coming off a loss.

UFC Career

Wood debuted in May 2018 at UFC Fight Night: Rivera vs. Moraes and submitted Johnny Eduardo in the second round at 2:18. He added a third-round submission of Andre Ewell at UFC 232 and a second-round submission of Jose Quinonez in 2019. Three fights, three finishes.

The first loss came in February 2020, when John Dodson stopped him by KO/TKO at 0:16 of the third round. It remains the only time Wood has been finished in the UFC. He beat John Castaneda by decision that July, then lost a unanimous decision to Casey Kenney at UFC 254.

After a layoff of nearly two years, he returned in 2022 and won back-to-back decisions over Charles Rosa and Charles Jourdain, the second just six weeks after the first. That became a four-fight win streak, his longest in the UFC, when he also beat Andre Fili in July 2023. Muhammad Naimov ended it that October with a unanimous decision at UFC 294.

Wood then won three in a row on the scorecards: Daniel Pineda at UFC 304, Morgan Charriere in March 2025, and Jose Miguel Delgado at UFC 321, an opponent our model rates as strong. A split decision over Losene Keita in March 2026 followed. His most recent fight was a unanimous decision loss to Pavel Andrusca.

Fifteen UFC fights, and 11 of them went the full three rounds.

Fighting Style

Nathaniel Wood is a busy, accurate striker. He puts a lot of strikes on his opponents and lands a good share of what he throws. He takes and avoids damage at about the UFC average, so his output doesn't come with extra punishment.

He is very hard to take down, which keeps most of his fights standing. He rarely shoots for takedowns himself and doesn't hunt for submissions the way most fighters do.

For a volume striker, his finishes are unexpected. All three of his UFC finishes came by submission, two in the second round and one in the third. He has no knockouts or technical knockouts in the UFC, and none of his finishes came in the first round. Most of his wins, eight of 11, have gone to the scorecards.
