While he was born in Texas, due to his father being in the military, Kevin Natividad was raised in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Growing up in Hawaii, all Natividad did was fight and had a good mix of his friends that wrestled. Natividad, being a big fan of boxing, he and his friends decided to put fights together at the beach or at a park near his house. A few months after that, he started training with a Nova Uniao BJJ team called 86 BJJ, under Paul Ano.
When he started training and getting into it, he realized there’s a lot more he needed to learn to be good at this sport. He’s been addicted ever since. Before he moved to Arizona, he had a BJJ background and about a year of Kempo Karate when he was in grade school. Natividad held his whole amateur career in Hawaii, building up an impressive 13-1 record. Natividad made his professional debut in November of 2016. He only has one loss in his pro career winning four before and after that loss. The Hawaiian has fought for Combate Americas and has had four fights with LFA.
