Kevin “Quicksand” Natividad (9-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC)
Bantamweight (135lbs): 9-1 (MMA)
Featherweight (145lbs): (0-0 MMA), Making UFC Debut at Featherweight
Kevin Natividad is making his UFC debut in the featherweight division at UFC Vegas 9 after competing for the entirety of his professional mixed martial arts career in the bantamweight division. Kevin is 27 years old, and he definitely has some attributes that would translate up a weight class, like his 70.5″ reach. A reach that will be over 6 inches longer than his upcoming opponents.
Natividad will be taking on another fighter that had a long career at bantamweight, although it was in the UFC, Brian Kelleher. Kelleher actually moved up to featherweight just two fights ago, and last fought at bantamweight in the beginning of the year at UFC 246.
