What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • Counter punching

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

Scouting report

Nathaniel Wood “The Last Kingsman” is a 33-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of England, camped at Great Britain Top Team. The tape read: volume pressure striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 23-6-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 18 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (68).

What works. Durability is the standout at 91 (A+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.35 TD/15 and 0.47 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 52% / 3.16 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 58% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (35, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

Recent tape (6 bouts): W Keita (Decision - Split R3) · W 5223435 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W Charrière (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 2514828 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Naimov (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 5 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

41 D

Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • 1.35 takedowns / 15 at 49% accuracy
  • 0.47 submission attempts / 15 · 5 career sub wins

Striking defense

59 C

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 52% striking defense · 3.16 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 6 defeats

Counter punching

38 D

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 56% accuracy on 5.64 SLpM
  • 0.33 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

48 D

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

  • Str def 52% · TD def 58% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.16 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

65 C+

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 5.64 SLpM at 56% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.16 SApM

Takedown reaction

35 D

A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • 58% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 2 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

91 A+

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 6 losses
  • 18 decision wins — proof they last and still score
