Vince Morales Still Wants to ‘Smack’ Nathaniel Wood

Vince Morales didn’t appreciate Nathaniel Wood’s comments after the recent UFC London card and wants to make the Englishman pay for it. Morales (11-5, 3-3 UFC) was scheduled to face “The Prospect” at UFC Fight Night 204 but had to withdraw due to medical issues. Even though “Vandetta” apologized for the inconvenience, Wood didn’t welcome that he couldn’t compete in front of his hometown crowd and had some harsh comments for Morales on Twitter. While talking with Sherdog, Morales that a bad cold prevented him from competing on that occasion, reiterating his desire to face Wood, even though his foe has moved up to the featherweight division. In the meantime, Morales will have to deal with Jonathan Martinez at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 206.
