Undefeated featherweight next
Wood is scheduled to compete against Nathaniel Wood in a featherweight fight at UFC Edmonton on Nov. 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Wood's next opponent is a 10-0 pro with two TKOs (to Fernie Garcia and Jeong Yeong Lee) across 2024. However, the Englishman will look to ride the positive momentum he established for himself with his 4-1 record since 2022.

Improves to 4-1 in past five fights
Wood defeated Daniel Pineda via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-28) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Wood bounced back nicely from a unanimous decision defeat to Muhammadjon Naimov last October. Facing an aging opponent in Pineda, Wood landed some crushing blows throughout the course of the first ten minutes. The shots would have fallen any mere mortal, but Daniel managed to survive. Clearly up two rounds, a lock to win a decision and tiring, Wood took off the final frame, allowing Pineda to gain some momentum. It ultimately didn't matter. Wood is 4-1 in his past five fights dating back to July 2022, with each of the bouts going to the final bell.

Manchester bout on tap
Wood is scheduled to compete against Daniel Pineda in a featherweight fight at UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
The English-born Wood will return to his home country for his next fight. But for the first time since 2017 and joining the UFC, he will compete outside London, in Manchester's new Co-Op Live arena. Wood will look to bounce back after a loss to Muhammadjon Naimov at UFC 294.

Crushing UFC 294 defeat
Wood lost to Muhammadjon Naimov via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 294 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Wood by no means fought well in this fight, and his performance was highly disappointing given he entered as a -325 favorite, but it's easy to envision a scenario in which things may have gone differently. For starters, he ate two vicious low blows from Naimov. Referee Lukasz Bosacki absolutely should have taken a point, but didn't. Second, Wood had Naimov in all sorts of trouble in the closing moments of the fight and may very well have earned a stoppage if there were only a handful of additional seconds on the clock. Sadly for Wood, it wasn't meant to be. "The Prospect", who is now 30 years old, sees his three-fight winning streak snapped.
