Mitch Raposo
USA
Barely gets past Allan Nascimento
Raposo defeated Allan Nascimento via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
These two were supposed to fight in Winnipeg in mid-April before Raposo withdrew two days before the bout due to an illness. They finally got it on here and Mitch did just enough to pull a slight upset. Raposo was easily the more effective fighter the first two rounds. He remained upright throughout and was able to land the more damaging blows on the feet. Everything changed in Round 3, however, with Nascimento scoring a knockdown and closing the frame with a 24-4 edge in significant strikes landed. Raposo appeared to tire, which certainly didn't help matters. Ultimately, two of the three judges thought he did enough to win, which seemed like the correct call. The 27-year-old Massachusetts native has won back-to-back fights on the heels of losing his first two UFC bouts via split decision.

Finally earns first UFC win
Raposo defeated Azat Maksum via unanimous decision (30-26, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
In a fight between two guys looking at a release is they came up short, Raposo not only picked up his first UFC victory in three attempts, but he also walked away with 30 percent of Maksum's purse after the latter missed weight by three pounds Friday morning. Mitch didn't exactly set the world on fire with his performance, but he displayed strong cardio and got better as the fight progressed, while Maksum clearly faded. In the end, that was enough. There's an overwhelming chance this goes down as Raposo's high point with the company, but the victory increases the chances that we see him again inside the Octagon.
