5 Sep 2026
5 Sep 2026
Pavel Andrusca survived a second-round scare and out-grappled Nathaniel Wood for a unanimous decision.
Key moments
- A double-leg takedown, clinch work and right hands over the top took round one against a feinting Wood.
- A Wood right hand briefly dropped Andrusca in round two; Andrusca recovered with a takedown and an arm-triangle frame to buy time, then closed the round with a jumping knee, an elbow and a late takedown.
- In round three Andrusca stayed glued to Wood, opened a cut near his hairline, and finished with a single-leg and top control for the last ninety seconds.
