Levi lost to Simon Smotritsky via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) at Bellator 209 on Thursday in Tel Aviv, Israel.
ANALYSIS
It certainly looks like this fight was made to look Smotritsky look good. The 18-year-old prospect was able to get loose with his striking and easily take this fight. With that being said, Levi deserves credit for making it a fight. He did a good job of moving on the outside and throwing back when he could. However, Smotritsky was the more skilled striker, and it showed throughout the contest.
