A Fall River man is looking to up his winning streak in the UFC to three.
27-year-old Durfee grad and #12 ranked UFC flyweight Mitch Raposo (11-3) will face off against Brazilian Marcos Degli (15-3) at UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brady at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas on November 7th.
Degli is the #1 ranked flyweight in Brazil and has won 13 straight contests and has 9 knockouts. His latest win was by submission against 14-4 Paris Moran in Dana White’s Contender Series. He is the interim Legacy Fighting Alliance champion.
Raposo’s last win came in June against #22 Allan Nascimento (22-7) at UFC Fight Night Saturday after his scheduled fight on April 18th at UFC Fight Night in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada was postponed due to Raposo suffering from a virus.
The underdog Raposo won rounds 1 and 2 busting open under Nascimento’s right eye. In the third round, however, Nascimento attacked needing a knockout or submission, dropping Raposo with a solid right hand. Raposo survived the attack to take the split decision (29-28 Raposo, 29-28 Raposo, 29-28 Nascimento).
Raposo’s first UFC win that started the streak came against Azat Maksum (15-3) of Kazakhstan at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on October 25th, 2025.
Maksum missed weight which has been a pattern for Raposo’s opponents.
In Raposo’s bout before Maksum, the flyweight took on 17-7 Su Mudaerji at UFC 314 in Miami at the Kaseya Center on April 12th, 2025.
The fight was close with all three judges scoring 29-28. Two for Mudaerji and one for Raposo.
On June 1st, 2024, Raposo, who fights out of the Regiment Training Center, made his UFC debut at UFC 302 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on less than two weeks’ notice.
Raposo, who replaced Nyamjargal Tumendemberel who had to withdraw from the fight, took on fellow flyweight 8-0 Andre Lima.
Lima took the split decision over Raposo (30-27, 28-29, 30-27) with damaging legs kicks through all three rounds, however, Lima also grabbed the fence, poked Raposo’s eye and was fined 30% of his purse for missing weight by 4 pounds.
UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brady will stream live on Paramount+ beginning at 5:00 p.m.
