The Sniper
Sean Woodson
Career overview
Sean Woodson holds a 13-2-1 professional record and is an unranked American featherweight who fights from an orthodox stance. Known as “The Sniper,” Woodson is a volume striker whose 6-foot-2 frame and 78-inch reach give him unusual length for the 145-pound division.
He lands 5.57 significant strikes per minute with 46% accuracy, using straight punches, combinations, and sustained output to control exchanges at range. Although he absorbs 4.18 significant strikes per minute, his 58% striking defense helps limit opponents’ success during prolonged stand-up sequences.
Woodson averages only 0.58 takedowns per 15 minutes, reinforcing his preference for striking, but his 55% takedown accuracy makes his occasional wrestling attempts efficient. More importantly, his 84% takedown defense generally allows him to keep fights in his preferred phase.
In December 2024, Woodson stopped Fernando Padilla by first-round KO/TKO at 4:58, adding another finish to a record supported by a strong knockout profile. Earlier that year, he earned a unanimous decision over Alex Caceres and a split decision against Charles Jourdain, demonstrating that his pace and range management can remain effective across three rounds.
His submission average of 0.3 per 15 minutes indicates that grappling offense is a secondary threat rather than a central part of his approach. With no next opponent listed, Woodson currently remains an unranked featherweight contender.
