Two matchups have been officially added to UFC Vegas 118, scheduled for June 6, with bantamweight and flyweight bouts both now locked in.
Bryce "Thug Nasty" Mitchell enters the card looking to reverse a recent skid. The 31-year-old Arkansas native carries an 18-4-0 overall record and holds a 9-3 mark inside the UFC, competing at featherweight before this bantamweight booking. A southpaw out of Barata MMA, Mitchell stands five-foot-ten with a 70-inch reach and has built his reputation as a wrestling-heavy threat, averaging 3.24 takedowns per 15 minutes. His striking accuracy sits at an impressive 59 percent, even if his volume remains measured at 2.27 significant strikes per minute.
Opposite him stands Victor "La Mangosta" Henry, a 39-year-old switch-stance fighter with a wealth of experience behind him. Henry owns a 25-7-0 professional record and has gone 4-2 inside the UFC. Standing five-foot-seven out of UWF USA, Henry is among the more active strikers on the roster, landing 7.17 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy — numbers that make him a genuinely dangerous opponent on the feet.
The card also features a flyweight pairing between Imanol Rodriguez and veteran Matt "Danger" Schnell. Rodriguez, who holds a 1-0 UFC record, looks to build momentum after a successful promotional debut. He faces Schnell, a 36-year-old orthodox fighter from Fortis MMA who carries a 17-10-0 overall mark and a 7-8 UFC ledger. Schnell averages 4.07 significant strikes per minute and generates 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, giving him a path to victory in multiple areas despite a rough recent run.
Why it matters
- Mitchell's wrestling-first style sets up a compelling contrast against Henry's high-volume striking output
- A win for Mitchell would halt his slide and restore his relevance in the division
- Schnell's submission threat makes the flyweight bout competitive despite his recent record
- Rodriguez has a chance to post back-to-back wins and establish himself as a name to watch at 125 pounds
