Wood has seemingly gotten it together again. His mission now is to sustain his consistency going after back-to-back wins against Charles Rosa at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinall in July 2022 and versus Charles Jourdain in last September’s UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Tuivasa.
Both those victories were via unanimous decisions. Moreover, all four of Wood’s last four fights went the distance and he went 3-1 in those bouts. It says a lot about his endurance and cardio. That being said, Wood’s resume will also give you a clue that he can be pretty destructive early, as he also has seven first-round finishes. He has a 9-2 T/KO record and a 5-2 submission slate.

Fili is having a topsy-turvy time of late in the UFC. He has not won consecutively in any stretch of his last six bouts, during which he’s gone 2-3-1. However, he has a golden opportunity to win back-to-back since 2019, as he is coming off a win.
He defeated Bill Algeo during last September’s UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Song via split decision. Fighting out of Team Alpha Male, Fili will enjoy a significant five-inch reach advantage over Wood. He’s also taller than the English by five inches. Those physical edges can certainly tip the complexion of the fight in favor of Fili, who is also has a 49 percent success rate in taking opponents down to the ground.
