Sean Woodson is facing difficulties in finding an opponent for his featherweight bout scheduled for UFC Nashville this weekend. Jesse Butler, who was originally set to fight Woodson, has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to “protocol” reasons. Butler recently fought in a lightweight match at UFC Vegas 74, where he made his promotional debut but was knocked out in just 23 seconds by Jim Miller, a seasoned fighter with 42 UFC bouts under his belt.

This marks the third time that Woodson has had to seek a new opponent, as his initially scheduled opponent, Steve Garcia, also withdrew due to injury. Woodson aims to make his first appearance in 2023 and secure his first victory since 2021, following a split draw against Luis Saldana in his only fight last year. Since joining the UFC through the Contender Series, Woodson has a record of 3-1-1, with a notable first-round knockout against Collin Anglin at UFC Vegas 42. The UFC is currently in the process of finding a new opponent for Woodson to salvage the fight in Nashville.
