Two featherweight and flyweight matchups have been made official for UFC Vegas 118, scheduled for June 6, with Bryce Mitchell taking on Victor Henry and Imanuel Rodriguez squaring off against Matt Schnell.
Mitchell, known as "Thug Nasty," enters the bout at 18-4-0 overall and 9-3 inside the UFC. The 31-year-old from the United States trains out of Barata MMA and competes as a southpaw. Standing five-foot-ten with a 70-inch reach, Mitchell is a high-volume grappler who averages 3.24 takedowns per 15 minutes and converts his striking attempts at an elite 59 percent accuracy rate, though he generates a modest 2.27 significant strikes per minute.
His opponent, Victor Henry — nicknamed "La Mangosta" — brings a 25-7-0 professional record and a 4-2 mark in the UFC. The 39-year-old switch-hitter out of UWF USA is one of the more active strikers in the division, landing 7.17 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy. Henry stands five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach.
In the flyweight contest, Imanuel Rodriguez makes his second UFC appearance against the experienced Matt Schnell. Rodriguez enters at 1-0 in the promotion, while Schnell carries a 17-10-0 overall record and a 7-8 UFC ledger. The 36-year-old from the United States trains at Fortis MMA, stands five-foot-eight, and owns a 70-inch reach. Schnell lands 4.07 significant strikes per minute and is an active submission threat, averaging 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters

- Schnell's submission activity gives Rodriguez an immediate test on the ground in what is only his second UFC outing
- Both bouts add meaningful featherweight and flyweight action to the June 6 card in Las Vegas
