LONDON – Nathaniel Wood has a solid task on his hands Saturday, but the UFC may have known what it was doing putting him on the same card as Lerone Murphy.
Wood and Murphy had a run-in at the host hotel early in fight week for UFC Fight Night 224 in London. The featherweights just aren’t fighting each other … yet. The two were booked for UFC 286 in March, but Wood had to pull out after a freak leg injury a handful of weeks out.
There may be enough heat now to warrant booking them after this week.
