5 under the radar names to look out for at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall

#4. Nathaniel 'The Prospect' Wood - UFC bantamweight

One of the more established fighters on this list, Nathaniel Wood has already had two opponents fall out of their scheduled fights. At the time of writing, it is not clear who Wood will end up facing, although the UFC have stated they are actively looking for a replacement. Wood's fellow Englishman Davey Grant has thrown his name in the hat.

Since signing in 2018, Nathaniel Wood has gone 4-2 in the promotion, with impressive victories over the likes of John Castaneda, Andre Ewell, and Jose Alberto Quiñonez.

'The Prospect' has been out of action since 2020 due to injury but will be looking to reintroduce himself to the UK fans in a big way. His striking is clinical and technically excellent, whilst a sneaky submission game often catches opponents out in moments of complacency.

#3. Cory 'Poppins' McKenna - UFC strawweight

Wales' first and, for the time being, only female fighter to sign for the UFC, Cory McKenna made a successful debut in 2020, defeating Kay Hansen via unanimous decision.

Since then, McKenna has had to overcome surgery and concussional issues that saw her sidelined for the entirety of 2021. Now she returns, taking on Elise Reed in an exciting straightweight bout.

As is the case with many fighters on this card, McKenna made her way to the UFC via Cage Warriors, with a Dana White's Contender Series win along the way as well. Solid wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu are the mainstays of her style, and this will only have been improved by the past two years McKenna has spent training at Urijah Faber's Team Alpha Male.
