Tim Kennedy and Rafael Natal square off at UFC Fight for the Troops 3
UFC officials announced on Tuesday that Kennedy’s opponent at UFC Fight for the Troops 3 would be Brazilian Rafael Natal.
Kennedy (16-4) is coming off his UFC debut which was a unanimous decision victory over Roger Gracie. Prior to that bout Kennedy beat Trevor Smith at the final Strikeforce event. His last loss came to Luke Rockhold in a battle for the Strikeforce middleweight championship.
Natal (17-4-1) is on a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming against Tor Troeng in September. That bout earned the two combatants ‘Fight of the Night’ honors. Natal was expected to take on Ed Herman at UFC 167 in November – Herman will now await a replacement.
