Nathan Levy, a 30-year-old MMA fighter, recorded the highlight of his career yesterday when he won a fight for the first time in the UFC, the largest fighting organization in the world.

Levy, who finished the fight very exhausted - as he would have seen in the third round, spoke while regulating his breathing at the end and received applause at the end of his speech.
