Mitch Raposo

Overview

Five UFC fights, five decisions, and zero finishes either way. Mitch Raposo is a flyweight out of Fall River, Massachusetts, who goes 3-2 in the UFC and carries a three-fight win streak into his next fight.

Every one of those fights has gone the full three rounds. Two losses were split decisions, and one win was too. This is a fighter whose results get settled on the scorecards, not by the finish.

UFC Career

Raposo's road to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series 5.7 in October 2021, where he lost to Jake Hadley by submission in Round 2 at 3:11. That bout was not a UFC event and does not count toward his UFC record.

His first UFC fight on record is a split-decision loss to Andre Lima at UFC 302. A second split-decision loss followed at UFC 314, to Sumudaerji. Two UFC fights, two losses, both close enough to be decided by a split.

Then the run turned. He beat Azat Maksum by unanimous decision at UFC 321, took a split decision over Allan Nascimento on the Kape vs. Horiguchi card, and added a unanimous decision over Marcos Degli at the Cortes Acosta vs Walker card.

He lost his first two UFC fights and has won the next three.

Fighting Style

Raposo is a low-volume striker who is hard to hit. He throws and lands less than most UFC fighters, and his accuracy is a little behind, but he takes less damage than most and defends well on the feet. He picks his spots and doesn't try to win on activity.

His wrestling is the standout trait. He is very hard to take down and still gets his own takedowns at a solid clip. He rarely hunts for submissions, so the grappling is about staying in control rather than ending fights.

That matches his UFC record. All five of his fights went the distance. Three ended in decision wins and two in decision losses.
