Andre Fili vs. Nathaniel Wood joins UFC London lineup
A featherweight scrap has been added to UFC London as Andre Fili will take on Nathaniel Wood on July 22 at The O2 in London.
A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report by Al Zullino.
Fili (22-9 MMA, 10-8 UFC), 32, has mixed results in his past six octagon showings. The Team Alpha Male fighter is coming off a split decision win over Bill Algeo last September at UFC Fight Night 210.
England’s Wood (13-6-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is 2-0 since moving up to 145 pounds. Wood defeated Charles Rosa and Charles Jourdain by unanimous decision in the span of less than two months in 2022. He was booked to face Lerone Murphy in March at UFC 286 but withdrew after suffering a nasty gash on his knee in training.
