Nathaniel Wood is riding high right now. The Last Kingsman has rattled off four straight wins since that loss to Muhammad Naimov back in October 2023, and he's looked sharper with each outing. That split decision over Losene Keita in London this past March showed he can grind through tough spots, but it's the way he's been picking guys apart on the feet that's got people talking. Wood landed 101 strikes against Jose Delgado and put on a clinic against Morgan Charriere with 65% accuracy. The British crowd loves this dude. Mairon Santos is undefeated in the UFC and just knocked out Muhammad Naimov, the same guy who beat Wood.
- Wood's four fight win streak meets Santos' undefeated UFC run
- Santos knocked out the same guy who beat Wood
- Volume striker versus patient power puncher in Paris
If Santos is going to land that fight-ending shot, it'll likely come in rounds two or three when Wood's volume starts piling up and openings appear.
That's the kind of result that makes you sit up and pay attention. Santos has finished two of his four UFC fights, including that nasty KO over Kaan Ofli in August 2024. The Brazilian's got serious power and he's not afraid to let his hands go. This is a huge step up in competition for him, but he's looked legit so far. Here's the thing about this matchup. Wood's volume striking and movement against Santos' power punching makes for a dangerous puzzle.
Wood's been landing 80 to 100 strikes per fight lately, working behind a slick jab and mixing in just enough wrestling to keep guys honest. Santos is more patient, waiting for his shot to land that one big punch. The question is whether Wood can stay out of danger long enough to pile up points, or if Santos catches him clean like he did Naimov. This fight's happening in Paris, and both guys are hunting for that next level. Wood wants to crack the rankings, Santos wants to prove he belongs with the division's best. Someone's hype train is getting derailed.
