Speaking via UFC.com, Natal said:
“Opponent changes are something we have to deal with and be ready for. Because the UFC is scheduling fights with a good advance notice, keeping yourself training hard for 3-4 months is normal in case someone else gets injured. Of course the tactics change, but basically we’re working on fixing small gaps and finding holes in his [Bradley's] game.”
“I won’t feel any pressure because I have a certain style of fighting and I don’t intend to change it completely. You’ll only see a “Sapo” with more cage experience and who is technically at his sharpest. I’m very happy that this fight will be live on Facebook and I hope everybody sees the return of the real Rafael Natal.”
Natal is looking to get back to winning ways himself after having his eleven fight winning streak snapped by Rich Attonito. His following fight saw him draw with Canadian striker, Jesse Bongfeldt. Bradley, a cast member on the seventh season of “The Ultimate Fighter”, heads back to the octagon with a solid 16-2 record under his belt and is currently riding a three fight winning streak.
