After picking up two straight victories in 2021 and raising his career starting winning streak to four in a row, flyweight Christian Natividad was looking to carry his momentum into a big 2022, but things haven’t worked out as expected. Not once but multiple times this year Natividad has had fights fall through, and only now with just two months left in 2022 is he finally able to get in the cage. “This year definitely hasn’t played out as I have planned,” Natividad told MMAWeekly.com. “At the end of 2021 I sat down with my coaches and management and threw out what I wanted to do in 2022, including the goal of fighting four times in the year. “It’s already October and I haven’t fought once yet, so I probably won’t hit that goal, but having time away from fighting has been a blessing since I’ve been able to sit back and grow as an MMA fighter.” In terms of his growth, Natividad feels like he’s been able to mature to the point to where he doesn’t just have to try to overwhelm his opponents but can better pick his shots and control the fight another way
