SAN JOSE – Not long after Noad Lahat opened up UFC on FOX 12 with an upset of Steven Siler, reality set in. Lahat (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) took a unanimous decision from Siler (23-13 MMA, 5-4 UFC) at the event, which took place at SAP Center in his home training base of San Jose, Calif. But on Sunday, Lahat, from Israel, will return to his home country to rejoin the army there – and he does so during a particularly tense time for his country, which finds itself in the middle of continued conflict with Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
