Natan Levy, who is Jewish, calls out Kanye West over his anti-Semitic remarks in his post-fight interview following his victory at UFC Orlando
Nathan Levy’s jab helped lead him to victory at UFC Orlando, but he had another jab to deliver at the post-fight press conference – in response to Kanye West.
For anyone who’s been sleeping under a rock, West has made headlines over the past few months for his anti-Semitic statements, which include homage to former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
The remarks and interest have skyrocketed in the past two weeks, after West reportedly had dinner with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and former US President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. West, who has lost a number of sponsors over his stances, has been touring right-wing media to reiterate and defend his views.
“I think life is too short to hate,” Levy said. “So, to all those hateful people, bad for you, I pity you. Otherwise, you know, Kanye West, if you have a problem with me or my people, come see me, brother.”
