Another UFC Fight Night will take place on December 4th at Amway Center. In one of the preliminary card events, Israeli lightweight Natan Levy will fight Mexican lightweight Genaro Valdez. The fight is planned for 01:00 UK time.
But in this case, the Tel Aviv native looks like a more mature and highly skilled fighter. Levy has a good level of grappling that can work 100% with a skilled puncher. There are big questions about Valdes’ wrestling, so we expect Nathan to destroy him on that particular plane. Most likely, this fight will end early, and the winner will be Levy, and he can win by technical knockout or submission. The chances of Valdes are hard to assess because of the weak opposition.
The Israeli had undefeated status when he was signed by the world’s premier league. He made his way to the UFC through Dana White’s challenger show, where he clobbered his opponent in the 3rd round. He made his promotion debut in November 2021 and alas, was unsuccessful. He lost by decision to Rafa Garcia. But afterward, Natan Levy was able to defeat Mike Breeden by a split decision, which improved his record to seven wins and one loss. Has a grappling background, gradually progressing in standup. Not once in his career, he lost before the end of the fight, unlike his opponent.
In his debut, he suffered a devastating defeat from Matt Frevola by 3 knockouts in 3 minutes, after which the referee stopped the fight. On his way, he had very little opposition and it is very hard to find any record of his fights on the internet. But because of his record, he is not a bad puncher and he was easy enough to take on his opponents. The Mexican Genaro Valdes is nicknamed “Rayadito”. He also signed in the UFC as an undefeated prospect but allowed the loss to Matt Frevola by technical knockout. The 30-year-old fighter now has 10 wins and one loss in the pros.
Like his future opponent, Valdes found himself on the organization’s roster after undergoing Contender Series torture. He tends to work in the stand-up position, perfectly combines multi-punch combinations, and has some skills on the ground. He fought all his fights before the big time (7 knockouts and 3 submissions).
