TAMPA, Fla. – Sean Woodson has but one setback in his MMA career, and it came long enough ago that he’s seen some UFC careers start and finish in the time since he lost to Julian Erosa.
Since then, over 4.5 years, the 32-year-old featherweight has gone 6-0-1. But the most recent victory, a knockout of Fernando Padilla with just two seconds left in the first round at UFC on ESPN 63, might have been his most crucial one yet.
Woodson (13-1-1 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) had to survive some early adversity against Padilla (16-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., but rallied quickly for his first finish since 2021.
