Focused Fight Preview:
Mitch Raposo vs. Allan Nascimento (Flyweight, 3 x 5-minute rounds, Prelims)
Fighter Profiles & Styles
Mitch Raposo (Fall River, Massachusetts, USA): 10-3-0 overall (UFC record 1-2). 5’5″, 64″ reach, orthodox. A compact, well-rounded fighter with knockout power (4 KO/TKO wins) and solid grappling. Trains out of a family-run camp; known for durability and come-forward pressure but has struggled in recent high-level decisions.
Allan Nascimento (“Puro Osso,” Brazil): 22-6-0 overall (UFC record 4-1). 5’8″, 69.5″ reach, southpaw. An elite submission specialist (16 career subs, many early) with strong top control and anaconda choke expertise. Dangerous grappler who mixes in volume striking; trains out of Chute Boxe Diego Lima and brings veteran Octagon experience.
Recent Form
Raposo enters on a 1-2 UFC run but snapped a skid with his first Octagon victory:
Oct 25, 2025 – Unanimous decision win vs. Azat Maksum (UFC 321).
Apr 12, 2025 – Split decision loss vs. Sumudaerji (UFC 314).
Jun 1, 2024 – Split decision loss vs. Andre Lima (UFC 302).
He has shown heart in close fights but has been outpointed by elite prospects in his last two losses before the Maksum win.
Nascimento is on a strong 4-fight win streak (his only UFC loss was a 2021 split decision):
Nov 1, 2025 – Submission (anaconda choke, R2, 3:13) vs. Cody Durden.
May 31, 2025 – Unanimous decision win vs. Jafel Filho.
Jan 14, 2023 – Submission (rear-naked choke, R1, 3:16) vs. Carlos Hernandez.
May 14, 2022 – Unanimous decision win vs. Jake Hadley.
The 34-year-old has finished 3 of his last 4 UFC appearances and dominates with grappling chains.
Fight History & Key Matchup Notes
Raposo (age 27) is the younger, hungry prospect trying to establish himself after two razor-close UFC losses and a regional KO background. Nascimento (age 34) is the experienced finisher with a 4-fight win streak and a clear grappling advantage (68% of his wins by submission). This is a classic “young power vs. veteran submission game” flyweight prelim. Raposo’s forward pressure and durability could test Nascimento’s cardio, but Nascimento’s length, top control, and finishing threat (especially early) make him extremely dangerous on the mat. Expect a grappling-heavy fight—Raposo has never been submitted, but Nascimento rarely lets opponents dictate pace once he closes distance.
