...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
Brazilian middleweight Rafael Natal will attempt to win his second straight fight in the UFC this February, as Brazilian website SporTV.com reports that he'll welcome undefeated Dutch newcomer Michael "Judo" Kuiper at UFC 143.
Natal lost his UFC debut by decision to Rich Attonito last September, and went to a draw with Jesse Bongfeldt at UFC 124 in December of last year. He finally got his first win in the organization in August, when he defeated Paul Bradley at UFC 133.
Kuiper brings a perfect 12-0 record into his UFC debut, with his entire career spent in Europe. Only one of his fights has gone to a decision.
UPDATE: The UFC has now confirmed this booking for the UFC 143 card.
