When Natan Levy called out Kanye West

Natan Levy was the first Israeli fighter to be signed to the UFC. The Middle-Eastern fighter is not shy when it comes to expressing himself, particularly when it comes to defending his nation's integrity and his people.

Around the time that Levy last fought, Kanye West was neck-deep in controversy. West, or 'Ye', made several appearances on conservative platforms where he said controversial things about the Jewish community, even going as far as saying that Adolf Hitler "did some good things too."

These comments didn't sit well with Levy, who took the opportunity to call out the multi-platinum record-selling rapper. Here's what he said:

"You know, I think life is too short to hate. So, to all these hateful people, you know - sucks for you. I pity you. And other than that, you know, Kanye West - if you've got a problem with me or my people, come see me bro."
