Khamzat Chimaev's outspoken criticism of Israel's actions in the West Bank has recently drawn the attention of several notably Jewish fighters. Natan Levy responded to Chimaev's remarks in a post, where he was asked if he would consider sparring with the 29-year-old Swede.
"He deleted it. Guys don’t forget to hit the follow button so you can be a hater on all my posts. Thank You," Levy wrote.

Levy is an unwavering advocate for his homeland and consistently confronts his critics. Just last month, he issued a challenge to a social media detractor who had expressed support for white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. This invitation came when the individual defended Fuentes' antisemitic statements on social media.
In a YouTube video, the 31-year-old Israeli fighter extended an invitation to join him at an MMA gym for a two-round bout. Levy emerged as the clear victor in the contest, prompting the heckler to offer a sincere apology after the conclusion of the second round.
