The UFC has officially confirmed two bouts for UFC Vegas 118, scheduled for June 6, headlined by a bantamweight clash between Bryce Mitchell and Victor Henry alongside a flyweight matchup between Imanol Rodriguez and Matt Schnell.
Mitchell, known as "Thug Nasty," enters the bantamweight contest with an overall record of 18-4 and a 9-3 mark inside the UFC. The 31-year-old American trains out of Barata MMA and fights southpaw. He is a methodical grappler who lands 3.24 takedowns per 15 minutes and connects on an impressive 59 percent of his significant strikes, though his output sits at 2.27 significant strikes per minute.
His opponent, Victor Henry, nicknamed "La Mangosta," brings a 25-7 overall record and a 4-2 UFC ledger into the fight. The 39-year-old switch-stance fighter stands five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach and is one of the more active strikers in the division, averaging 7.17 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy.
In the flyweight bout, Imanol Rodriguez makes his second UFC appearance with a perfect 1-0 promotional record. Specific verified stats for Rodriguez were not available in the announcement data.
He will face Matt "Danger" Schnell, a 36-year-old American out of Fortis MMA who carries a 17-10 overall record and a 7-8 UFC mark. Schnell stands five-foot-eight with a 70-inch reach and averages 4.07 significant strikes per minute. He also poses a consistent submission threat, attempting 1.2 submissions per 15 minutes.
