UFC Tampa video: Sean Woodson floors Fernando Padilla with beautiful combination

Sean Woodson wants entry into the UFC rankings, and he might have earned just that Saturday.

At UFC on ESPN 63 from Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., Woodson (13-1-1 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) floored Fernando Padilla (16-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) with a four-punch combination and finished the fight with three more punches on the ground. The stoppage came at 4:58 of Round 1.

Two of the tallest featherweights in UFC history with Woodson at nearly 6-foot-3 and Padilla at 6-1, the two fighters traded blows for as long as the fight lasted

As the clock wound down in Round 1, Woodson landed a right uppercut-to-left hook combination. As Padilla backpedaled, Woodson cracked him with another right-left combo. Three more punches on the ground was enough for referee Andrew Glenn to intervene.
