As mentioned, Levy is a serious prospect in the MMA world and currently only has one professional loss on his record. The Israeli fighter, who was born in France is a black belt in karate and kung fu. He is currently competing in the UFC's lightweight division, joining the organization after beating Shaheen Santana in Dana White's Contender Series.

His only defeat came against Rafa García when debuting in the UFC at UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate in 2021. However, Levy has remained unbeaten during his other UFC outings, beating Mike Breeden and Genaro Valdez in back-to-back bouts.

Despite flying the Israeli flag and being born in Paris, the UFC fighter currently lives in Las Vegas. This is most likely due to making life easier to fight in the UFC with the organization hosting the majority of its events in Vegas.
