Attempts by FCF to contact MacDonald and Bongfeldt were unsuccessful. If accurate, Bongfeldt (21-7) will make his Octagon debut having won seven straight fights, a run which includes a victory over current UFC competitor TJ Grant.

Natal (12-3) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Rich Attonito at UFC Fight Night 22 in September, after earning back-to-back victories over Allan Weickhert and Travis Lutter.

UFC 124 will be headlined by a welterweight bout between champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Josh Koscheck.
