One to Watch at UFC Boston: Sean Woodson
Sean “The Sniper” Woodson | 6-0 | 6’3 145 lbs. | Age 28 | Reach 79” | Switch Stance | Fighting Out of Wentzville, Missouri
Sean “The Sniper” Woodson (6-0) is set to become the UFC’s tallest ever featherweight as the 6’3″ Woodson will break Dan Hooker’s record when he debuts at UFC Boston on Friday.
Sean Woodson’s Dad was the driving inspiration behind his fighting career as his father would watch fights with his son, developing a passion for boxing. Woodson’s first taste of combat would come in amateur boxing and he would even weigh as much as 200 plus pounds on fight night.
His father would sadly pass before his time but Sean would promise to be one of the best fighters in the world.
Woodson totalled upwards of 45 amateur fights and won boxing’s coveted Golden Gloves competition at light heavyweight. The champ boxer would then turn to MMA to earn more gold and a drop-down to welterweight (170 lbs) would see ‘The Sniper’ reel off two straight finishes in round one to start his pro career.
Woodson would then drop all the way to 145 lbs and a couple of dominant decision wins scored Sean Woodson a Contender Series shot where he halted Terrence McKinney in round two with a ferocious flying knee. The walk-off knockout is possibly the best of all-time on the show and Dana White had the UFC contract ready to sign when he exited the cage.
Woodson took that fight on only five days’ notice but will have a full camp going into UFC Boston. He takes on the tough as nails brawler Kyle Bochniak (8-4) and it all goes down Friday, October 18th!
