Sean “The Sniper” Woodson is 7-0 in his mixed martial arts career. The last time we saw him was in his UFC debut against Kyle Bochniak, a fight that he won via unanimous decision. Now, Woodson steps up his level of competition when he faces 29-year old Kyle Nelson this Sunday. Both fighters are young up-and-comers.

Woodson vs Nelson Betting Markets

Woodson is a volume puncher that usually fights cautiously and who doesn’t overcommit to big shots. He is also very good defensively which might be why he goes to a decision more often than not. Nelson has only been finished twice in his MMA career so the over/under market could be good to look at for this fight. This fight could go the distance.

Prediction Time!

Both fighters are young and up-and-comers, but Woodson is something else. At 6’2” (188 cm) he is the tallest fighter to ever compete in the UFC’s featherweight division. He also has a reach of 78” which means that he will have a comfortable 7” reach advantage when he fights Nelson.

Woodson is a hot prospect in the 145 lbs division, and we predict he gets the decision win against Kyle Nelson, this Sunday.
