A bantamweight matchup between Mitch Raposo and Allan "Puro Osso" Nascimento has been rescheduled after a health setback pushed the fight off this weekend's UFC Winnipeg card. Raposo contracted a virus that forced his withdrawal, and the two will now meet at UFC Vegas 119 on June 20 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Raposo, 27, fights out of Regiment Training Center and carries an overall professional record of 11-3-0, going 1-2 inside the UFC. The American stands five-foot-five with a 64-inch reach and operates from a switch stance. He averages 1.98 takedowns per 15 minutes, suggesting a wrestling-oriented approach, though his striking output sits at 1.91 significant strikes landed per minute at 38 percent accuracy.
Nascimento, known as "Puro Osso," is a 34-year-old Brazilian out of Chute Boxe Diego Lima with a 22-7-0 record and an impressive 4-1 mark in the UFC. At five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach, the orthodox striker has shown considerably more volume on the feet, landing 3.2 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy. He also adds a submission threat, averaging 0.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes, giving him tools across multiple phases of the fight.
Why it matters

- A 4-1 UFC record for Nascimento at bantamweight positions him as a potential contender to watch if he continues winning.
- Both fighters will have had additional preparation time, with the bout now pushed nearly two months beyond the original date.
