UFC London: Nathaniel Wood vs. Losene Keita: Prediction
With the power and explosiveness of Keita, I predict that he’ll beat Wood via TKO/KO. Keita’s right-hand punch is his best offense, and once he lands it, his opponents instantly feel it. This allows him to walk down opponents and pressure them against the cage.
Wood is a very gritty and durable contender as seen during his previous fight against Jose Miguel Deldago, where he weathered the early storm and eventually won via unanimous decision.
But I think the power of Keita will be too much for him to handle, especially since it’s very unpredictable and he fires it at different angles. The former Oktagon champion should start going for an early finish because Wood won’t let him off the hook if they go full three rounds.
