Expect to get the grapplers perspective on Natan's early years in Isreal, his brutal introduction to Kung Fu, his hilarious journey in Japan, travelling to Vegas alone at 22 to chase his dream, his constant set backs, taking a Dana White's Contender Series fight on days notice and much more.

Natan Levy is an Israeli professional mixed martial artist who competes in the lightweight division in the UFC with a record of 8-2. Prior to his professional MMA career, Levy worked as a martial arts instructor and ran a Karate dojo in Tel Aviv, Israel. After being awarded his 3rd degree black belt in Uechi-Ryū Karate, he moved to Las Vegas at the age of 22 in order to train in mixed martial arts and pursue a professional career.
