Kevin Casey vs. Rafael Natal set for UFC on FOX 18

UFC middleweights Kevin Casey (9-3, two no-contests) and Rafael Natal (20-6-1) will clash Jan. 30 at UFC on FOX 18 in Newark, N.J.

Casey currently rides a six-fight undefeated streak, but that run is marred by two no-contests. The first, a UFC 175 bout against Bubba Bush, was originally ruled a knockout victory for Casey, but the result was overturned after the former The Ultimate Fighter competitor tested positive for the anabolic steroid drostanolone after the fight.

More recently, Casey competed at UFC Fight Night 80, getting just 11 seconds of cage time before an eye poke from his opponent, Antonio Carlos Junior, halted the fight.
