After Lyoto Machida was removed from the UFC Fight for the Troops card to face mark Munoz in November, Tim Kennedy was left without an opponent. Desperate to keep a fight in November and eager for a new opponent, Kennedy went to Twitter to call out some opponents to try to secure an opponent. He call out Rich Franklin, Chris Camozzi, Wandelei Silva, Nick Diaz, Costa Philippou, Mauricio Rua and Rafael Natal. Of all of the men that were called out, the one that came into fruition was Rafael Natal.
Rafael Natal is coming off of a three fight win streak coming off his fight of the night victory over Tor Treong in his last fight on Fox Sports 1in September. Rafael Natal is 5-2-1 in the UFC and presents a real challenge for Kennedy in their bout in Kentucky. I think that this will be a pretty even fight in which both men will look to bring the fight to each other.
