Christian Natividad is the younger brother of the UFC’s Kevin Natividad. Christian is a flyweight with a 4-0 record. He was a RUF MMA featherweight champ as an amateur and now as a pro fighting at 125. He had two big-time knockouts in his first two fights and his last two he won on the scorecards. Christian has stopping power in his hands and a good wrestling base.

Mohammed Usman is one of the most well-known siblings outside the UFC. That is because his brother is UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman. Mohammed was signed to PFL last year for PFL’s heavyweight tournament. Although he did lose his debut it was the only fight he was able to take as he was dealing with injuries. Mohammed is a good wrestler and a tank in top position. Still raw and already 32 but training with the champ he’s only going get better. The UFC is close, as Usman will take part in The Ultimate Fighter 30’s heavyweight tournament.

Still an amateur and just 1-0, that was enough for Bellator to sign Wyatt Barber. 20-year-old Wyatt is the younger brother of UFC’s Maycee Barber. Wyatt is as green in the sport as you can be and is already a Bellator athlete. He’s got the right team behind him in Roufusport MMA Academy to shape him into a promising prospect.
