// Israeli MMA Fighter Natan Levy: All Jews ‘Should Know How to Defend Themselves’

Natan Levy, 31, is an Israeli professional mixed martial artist who competes in the lightweight division in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Recently, he sparred (cage fight) with a supporter of Nick Fuentes, the antisemitic white supremacist who once dined with then-President Donald Trump and the antisemite Ye/Kanye West. (See the “haters” section on the homepage.) Simply put, Levy demolished his opponent. His message about all Jews knowing how to defend themselves is well taken, especially now with the upsurge in antisemitic assaults.

Quote: “I think life is too short to hate, so to all these hateful people: sucks for you, I pity you,” Levy told reporters. Levy noted at the time that he receives plenty of online antisemitism, but it only makes him prouder of his heritage. “I am Jewish, it’s what I am, it’s what I was born. I’m very proud of it, and I will fight for it, I will fight for my people, in the Octagon or wherever need be. And I will not stand for antisemitism, I won’t stand for any racism.”
