When Nathaniel Wood makes his walk to the Octagon inside the O2 Arena in London, he’ll be walking through a dream.
As he talks about what he thinks he’ll be feeling in that moment, he isn’t worried about any distractions. In fact, he was more concerned that, if he fought earlier on the card, the arena wouldn’t be filled up enough.
“It’s quite surreal,” Wood said. “I’m here. I’m in the London the card. It’s what I set out when I very first started in MMA. Cutting weight, it sucks. At the moment, I’m just pretty down, but come the weigh-ins, I’m going to be buzzing.
