DEEP Middleweight Champion, Riki Fukuda and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Rafael “Sapo” Natal will face off in a middleweight bout at UFC 133 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 6th.
Fukuda is the current DEEP 185 pound champion and lost his octagon debut in a controversial fashion, losing on the judges scorecards to Nick Ring after three hard fought rounds. This will be his second appearance inside the octagon and we look to impress the North American crowd.
Natal will be looking to get back to winning ways, especially since he had been on an eleven fight winning streak which was snapped by Rich Attonito. His following fight saw him draw with Canadian striker, Jesse Bongfeldt in February.
