Allan Nascimento vs Mitch Raposo Prediction
Allan Nascimento, a seasoned grappler with a strong UFC record, faces Mitch Raposo, who is looking to build momentum after his first UFC win. Nascimento's submission game and control are expected to be the deciding factors in this flyweight contest. The fight is scheduled for April 18, 2026, in Winnipeg, Canada.
ATS PREDICTION
Allan Nascimento Win
Predicted: Allan Nascimento by Decision
โก75%
Allan Nascimento enters this bout on an impressive four-fight winning streak in the UFC, showcasing his elite grappling and submission skills. He has demonstrated a 'world-class' ground game and strong control, making him a formidable opponent on the mat. While Mitch Raposo secured his first UFC victory in his last outing, his previous two UFC fights resulted in close split decision losses, suggesting he can be outpointed by higher-level competition. Nascimento's experience and ability to consistently find ways to win, even in 'uninspired' performances, gives him a significant edge. Raposo tends to struggle when forced to strike at range and may not have the volume or power to deter Nascimento's grappling-heavy approach.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Allan Nascimento Moneyline (-186)
75%
Allan Nascimento is the clear favorite due to his superior UFC record of 4-1 and his demonstrated submission prowess. His ability to control fights on the ground and secure finishes makes him a safer bet against Raposo, who has a 1-2 UFC record and has struggled with high-level grapplers.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 2.5
60%
While both fighters have seen decisions, Nascimento has a significant submission threat, with 14 of his 20 wins coming by submission, including a recent anaconda choke victory in November 2025. Raposo has also been submitted in the past, suggesting a potential finish for Nascimento before the final bell. Given Nascimento's 'world-class on the mat' skills, there's a good chance he finds a finish.
