NATAN LEVY VS GENARO VALDEZ LOWDOWN

Fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada, Natan Levy (7-1) earned a chance to compete in the UFC after a successful stint on the Dana White’s Contender Series. After losing on his promotional debut, Levy picked up his first win inside the UFC back in April this year against Mike Breeden and will be looking to pick up his second win this weekend.

As for his opponent this weekend, Genaro Valdéz (10-1) will be hoping to pick up his first win inside the UFC octagon.

NATAN LEVY VS GENARO VALDEZ PREDICTION

Heading into this weekend’s lightweight bout, both men will share the same height and the same reach.

Despite both men coming through the Contender Series, it is fair to say that Levy is the better fighter out of the two. Valdez is known for being a bit of a brawler, but can be clumsy in spells and will have a tough day at the office against Levy. From the off, we suspect that Levy will be looking to be the aggressor by adopting his kick-heavy approach whilst mixing in some takedowns. Levy will look to take the fight to the floor and sneak in a finish.
