Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an initial report
from
Ag.Fight. UFC 286 takes place on March 18 at the O2 Arnea in
London and also includes a middleweight clash between Marvin
Vettori and Roman Dolidze. A headliner has not been announced for
the event.
A former strawweight competitor, Wood is 5-5 at 125 pounds in the
Octagon. The 36-year-old Syndicate MMA representative has lost
three straight bouts and is coming off a first-round submission
loss to Alexa Grasso at UFC on ESPN 33 on March 26.
After a 2-0 campaign in 2021, Carolina was on the wrong end of a
spinning backfist KO against Molly McCann at UFC Fight Night 204 in
her lone appearance of 2022. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum
is 3-2 during her tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
