The bout between Mitch Raposo (1-2 UFC) and Allan Nascimento (4-1 UFC) has been rescheduled to UFC Vegas 119 on June 20th. The fight was originally scheduled for this weekend at UFC Winnipeg but was cancelled due to health issues affecting Raposo. Raposo contracted a virus that forced the postponement. The matchup will now take place approximately two months later than initially planned. MMAKings reported the news of the rescheduling.
A flyweight clash between Mitch Raposo and Allan "Puro Osso" Nascimento has been rescheduled to UFC Vegas 119 on June 20th after illness forced its removal from this weekend's UFC Winnipeg card. Raposo contracted a virus that made it impossible for him to compete on the original date, pushing the matchup back roughly two months. MMAKings first reported the rescheduling.
Raposo, 27, enters the bout with an overall record of 11-3-0 and sits at 1-2 inside the UFC. The American fighter out of Regiment Training Center stands five-foot-five with a 64-inch reach and operates out of a switch stance. He averages 1.98 takedowns per 15 minutes, suggesting a grappling-oriented approach, though he has yet to record a submission attempt in UFC competition.
Nascimento, nicknamed "Puro Osso," brings considerably more UFC experience to the cage. The 34-year-old Brazilian holds a 22-7-0 professional record with a 4-1 mark in the organization, training out of Chute Boxe Diego Lima. Standing five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach, Nascimento is an orthodox striker who lands 3.2 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy — marks that place him among the more active and precise strikers in the flyweight division. He also mixes in 0.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes, giving him a well-rounded offensive profile.
Why it matters
- Nascimento's 4-1 UFC record and clean striking metrics make him a potential ranking threat in a competitive flyweight division
- Raposo needs a win to move back to .500 in the UFC after back-to-back losses, adding urgency to his side of the matchup
- The stylistic contrast — Raposo's takedown-heavy approach against Nascimento's sharp striking and submission activity — sets up an interesting tactical battle
