Sean Woodson: Top-15 Opponent Has ‘Got to Be’ Next After TKO’ing Fernando Padilla

Sean Woodson (13-1-1 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) said he is on “cloud nine” following his TKO win over Fernando Padilla at UFC Tampa Bay on Dec. 14.

“I’m still riding the high,” Woodson told MMASucka a few days after the fight. “Still loving life and trying to live in the moment. But at the same time, I’m excited and looking forward to what’s next. I know I’ve got something big on the horizon.”

Woodson became the first man to finish Padilla in professional MMA. Given that fact, with Woodson’s previous UFC accomplishments, he said a top-15 featherweight has “got to be” next for him.
