Who does Nathaniel Wood want to fight next? He feels he's earned a huge fight and called out former Bellator champion Patricio 'Pitbull' Freire.

Sounds like a great idea to us!

Nathaniel Wood continues to catch the eye and must now be pushing for a top-15 spot in the featherweight division after tonight's victory, taking his win streak to three.

The Londoner's last loss came at the hands of Muhammad Naimov in 2023 when he was struggling with his mental health.

Wood has anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) - a mental health condition where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours., external

"I could have a slight headache and I'm thinking 'I've got a brain bleed, or brain cancer' and I can't let the thought go," Wood told BBC Sport.

"And then it causes you to be anxious and then it causes more ruminating. It's a living nightmare when you're in that room."

I went to check out the mall last night with my good friend and colleague Daryl, and we bumped into a man who was looking for the Apple shop.

We stood around confused for a minute, before all laughing when we realised it was right in front of us.

Anyway, we got talking and this man tells us he's called Izzy from Manchester, has been a UFC fan for years, and has flown over to watch Tom Aspinall.

Izzy even showed us a picture on his phone of him alongside a very young-looking Dana White at UFC 70 in Manchester, way back in 2007.

Mine and Daryl's minds were blown.
