Head 2 Head: Kennedy vs. Natal

For Tim Kennedy and Rafael Natal, opportunity lies straight ahead. Prior to the announcement that they would headline the UFC Fight for the Troops 3 card, neither middleweight was on the radar for a top 10 ranking, but a win in a main event match will most certainly bring something big their way.

Natal (17-4-1) has quietly won five of his last six, but in order to extend that streak, he'll have to beat a former soldier fighting in front of his brothers at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Kennedy (16-4) was a former Strikeforce title contender, and he aims to make a similar run towards the belt in the UFC.
