Since he was a teenager, Israeli-American Natan Levy has trained to fight first in

Kung Fu, then Karate, now he's a rising star in the UFC, and his most important fight

yet might still await him in his home country of Israel.

I sat down with Natan to get his thoughts on the emerging conflict.

Natan, thank you for coming on the show.

Thank you very much for having me.

So Natan, you are in Israel right now.

You were not all that far from the Hamas attack when it first started, and you've been there

for the last week or more.

What are you seeing on the ground?

Over here, you know, I'm lucky enough to be far enough, which is about 20 miles away

from the real atrocities that happened, where I'm staying at Sirens, rockets, the usual

Israeli stuff, but what happened pretty close to here was pretty scared.

It's amazing for you to say, you know, luckily I'm far away, relatively far away from where

all the atrocities happened, you know, I'm 20 miles out.

It just drives home for people how small this country really is.

Yeah, it's tiny.

I live in Vegas, and it's the same thing, 20 miles can be a right to the gym, and out

here it's the difference between life and death.

So people, I know friends of mine who live in Israel are being called up for military

service, especially as the war expands, you know, now it's expanded from southern Lebanon,

Israel struck the Syrian airport.
