"Flyweight action has been added to April's UFC Ottawa card, which sees the octagon return to the Canadian capital for the first time since 2019. TUF 29 and Contender Series alum Mitch Raposo (10-3) will face off against Allan Nascimento (22-6) at the event, which takes place at the TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Ontario on April 18, 2026. Raposo recently announced the booking on social media (h/t Eurosport's Marcel Dorff)."
"Raposo, who came up short on The Ultimate Fighter 29 and had two showings on Dana White's Contender Series, is 1-2 in the UFC and coming off a win over Azat Maksum last October. Prior to that, he'd been on the wrong side of split decisions against Su Mudaerji and Andre Lima. Brazil's Nascimento has had a much smoother UFC run in the cage, posting a 4-1 record through five fights."
UFC Ottawa on April 18, 2026 at TD Place Arena in Ottawa will feature a flyweight bout between Mitch Raposo (10-3) and Allan Nascimento (22-6). Raposo is 1-2 in the UFC, recently beat Azat Maksum last October, and previously lost narrow split decisions to Su Mudaerji and Andre Lima. Raposo emerged from The Ultimate Fighter 29 and twice competed on Dana White's Contender Series. Nascimento holds a 4-1 UFC record but has struggled with health, missing most of 2023 and all of 2024 as multiple fights fell through due to injury and illness. Nascimento earned a Performance of the Night for submitting Cody Durden in November.
