There’s been a slight change to the UFC Winnipeg card.

The flyweight bout between Mitch Raposo and Allan Nascimento has been removed from Saturday’s Fight Night card as Raposo deals with an illness, the UFC announced Thursday.

Their fight will now take place on a June 20 Fight Night card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. That event is headlined by a flyweight fight between Manel Kape and Kyoji Horiguchi.

Raposo, 27, is 1-2 in the UFC since joining the promotion in June 2024. His last fight was a unanimous decision win over Azat Maksum at UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane in October of 2025.

Nascimento, 34, is a veteran of five UFC fights and is 4-1 since joining in October 2021. He’s currently on a four-fight win streak, with his most recent win coming against Cody Durden. He earned a Performance of the Night bonus after finishing Durden with an anaconda choke in the second round.

The upcoming UFC Winnipeg card is headlined by a bout between Ontario welterweight Mike Malott and one-time title challenger Gilbert Burns of Brazil.

Nine Canadians are scheduled to fight on the card, the first in Winnipeg since 2017.
