UFC featherweight Nathaniel Wood believes a number of his fellow fighters are overdoing their efforts to emulate Conor McGregor with brash attitudes.
The ex-Cage Warriors champion has been in the UFC for the last four years, and is looking to forge a new path for himself in the featherweight division after moving up from 135lb for his return to action earlier this year at UFC London. He has been frustrated watching fighters get promoted for, as he puts it, "being an a******"" and attempting to be like the Irishman.
Wood understands the needs for fighters to market themselves, but believes that it shouldn't come at the cost of being a good person and working hard. He wants to change the perception of MMA fighters, and feels that this trend is worrying and not helping their case.
