The UFC has officially confirmed two bouts for UFC Vegas 118, set to take place on June 6, pairing Bryce Mitchell against Victor Henry at bantamweight and Imanol Rodriguez against Matt Schnell at flyweight.
Mitchell, known as "Thug Nasty," enters the contest carrying an 18-4 overall record and is looking to reverse a difficult recent stretch. The 31-year-old southpaw from the United States trains out of Barata MMA and stands five-foot-ten with a 70-inch reach. A grappler at his core, Mitchell averages 3.24 takedowns per 15 minutes and posts a striking accuracy of 59 percent, among the higher marks in his division.
Standing across from him will be Victor Henry, nicknamed "La Mangosta," who holds a 25-7 overall record and brings a 4-2 mark inside the UFC. At 39, the switch-stance fighter out of UWF USA is one of the more experienced competitors in the bantamweight division. Henry produces an impressive 7.17 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy, making him a high-output offensive threat.
The flyweight pairing sends debuting momentum into the cage as Imanol Rodriguez, who went 1-0 in his UFC debut, steps up against a seasoned veteran. Matt Schnell, known as "Danger," owns a 17-10-0 overall record and has logged considerable time in the UFC flyweight division over a lengthy career. The 36-year-old orthodox fighter from Fortis MMA stands five-foot-eight with a 70-inch reach and averages 4.07 significant strikes per minute while also generating 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Mitchell's bantamweight future carries real divisional weight depending on whether he can return to the winning column
- Henry's high striking output creates a stylistically interesting contrast against Mitchell's takedown-heavy game
- Schnell brings veteran experience that will serve as a genuine measuring stick for Rodriguez's early UFC trajectory
