“I don’t know if it’s maybe because I don’t talk as brash as other people, maybe (it’s) because I’m English, I don’t know, but yeah, I definitely feel like I’m undervalued and underrated.
“But it is what it is, you know? At the end of the day, I’m here to fight. I’m here to do my job. As for everything else that happens – getting ranked, getting the right cameras on me – if it comes, it comes, and if it doesn’t, you know, I’m here to fight, and that’s what I’ll do, regardless.”
Facing Delgado this weekend, Wood is going up against a fighter whose two UFC wins have garnered him plenty of buzz and attention. Wood has taken notice of his opponent’s impressive start to life in the UFC, but he said that, on closer inspection, he sees a fighter who he doesn’t feel is on his level.

“His two UFC fights – amazing. (They) obviously went really well for him (but) sorry, the guys he’s fighting aren’t me,” he said.
“Obviously, he’s won the last fight against Hyder Amil in 30 seconds. Thirty seconds doesn’t show us anything. Could it have been a complete fluke? Could it have been a mistake that Hyder Amil made? But, if I’m honest, the fights I’ve seen prior to the UFC, which were only about a year ago, I wasn’t impressed.
“I watched a few three-rounders that, the guys he’s fighting, they’re not me, you know? I’ve been in there with what I would consider better opponents. I am the toughest fight that he’s got.
