French born Israeli UFC fighter Natan Levy won his bout in Orlando, Florida last night, but during the post match interview his pugilistic prowess inside the ring was not foremost in his mind, but rather the larger fight outside the arena:
“Natan Levy, a professional mixed martial artist in the UFC lightweight division, had fighting words for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after a victory against Genaro Valdez at UFC Orlando on Saturday.
“I think life is too short to hate, so to all these hateful people it sucks for you, I pity you,” said Levy, who is Jewish, in a backstage interview with MMA Fighting.
“Kanye West, if you’ve got a problem with me or my people, come see me, bro,” he continued.
Ye has made a series of antisemitic remarks and posts in recent months. This week, he was suspended from Twitter after he posted an image of a Nazi swastika inside a Star of David.”
Here is a video of Natan’s remarks on YouTube:
Not surprising, Natan got a lot of support on Twitter:

Yup
More people need to do this. We need to push back. We need to stand up to the bullies, the nazis, the racists,the homophobes. Get right back in their face and call them out!

What those of us who can should do. Take an aggressive stance. Show people what "never again" truly means.

Exactly.
There were some detractors in the tread, though, including one man who seemed to want to stand in for Kayne.
Good luck with that my dude, I think when Natan says “Never again” he means it.
Realistically, any man or woman who has served in the Israeli military (and barring a religious exemption it is required of men and women) could take down West no problem. Any man or woman who has served can-the man is a pussy which is why he’s such a mouthy little bitch. It doesn’t take a a UFC fighter although I applaud the gentleman for stepping up to clear out the trash as it were.
Wow. Care to tone down the casual misogyny in your comment?
