The bout between Mitch Raposo (1-2 UFC) and Allan Nascimento (4-1 UFC) has been moved from UFC Winnipeg this weekend to UFC Vegas 119 on June 20th. The fight was postponed because Raposo is dealing with health issues, specifically a virus. This represents a two-month delay from the original date. Both fighters will now have additional time to recover and prepare for their rescheduled matchup in Las Vegas.
A flyweight matchup between Mitch Raposo and Allan "Puro Osso" Nascimento has been pushed back roughly two months after Raposo was sidelined by a virus, forcing the bout off this weekend's UFC Winnipeg card. The pair will now meet at UFC Vegas 119 on June 20th in Las Vegas.
Raposo, 27, enters the rescheduled fight with an overall professional record of 11-3-0 and a 1-2 mark inside the UFC. The American, who trains out of Regiment Training Center, stands five-foot-five with a 64-inch reach and fights out of a switch stance. He averages 1.91 significant strikes per minute and supplements his striking with a takedown rate of nearly two per 15 minutes.
Nascimento, nicknamed "Puro Osso," is a 34-year-old Brazilian out of Chute Boxe Diego Lima with a 22-7-0 record and a strong 4-1 run in the UFC. Standing five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach, the orthodox finisher is a notably active striker, landing 3.2 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy. He also mixes in submission attempts at a rate of 0.9 per 15 minutes, adding a grappling dimension to his game.
Why it matters
- Nascimento's UFC record of 4-1 puts him in a strong position in the flyweight division, and a fifth win could push him toward ranked territory.
- Raposo, sitting at 1-2 in the promotion, is under pressure to collect a victory and reverse his UFC trajectory.
- The contrasting styles — Raposo's wrestling-oriented approach versus Nascimento's high-output striking and submission threats — set up a genuine style clash.
- Both fighters now benefit from additional preparation time ahead of the June 20th date in Las Vegas.
