N\u00e9 le 16 octobre 1998, il a des origines portugaises \u2014 sa m\u00e8re est originaire de Capelas, \u00eele de S\u00e3o Miguel, aux A\u00e7ores. Il commence \u00e0 s&rsquo;entra\u00eener aux arts martiaux \u00e0 12 ans, en 2010, apr\u00e8s avoir vu un voisin s&rsquo;y mettre. Pas de grand club de r\u00eave, juste une \u00e9tincelle et une ville qui forge. Il comp\u00e8te en lutte au lyc\u00e9e, s&rsquo;impose dans les tournois r\u00e9gionaux, et accroche une ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien en chemin. Sa base, c&rsquo;est le Regiment Training Center, sous la houlette de son coach Brian Raposo \u2014 le nom de famille n&rsquo;est pas un hasard.<\/p>\n<h3>Le circuit r\u00e9gional et les deux tentatives UFC avort\u00e9es<\/h3>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts pro datent du 6 avril 2019, en Cage Titans 43, avec une soumission en premier round (arm triangle) sur Rob Fuller. La progression est r\u00e9guli\u00e8re : il raffle le titre flyweight de la CES puis celui du Cage Titans, et affiche un bilan de 9-1 au moment d&rsquo;attaquer les grandes sc\u00e8nes. Sauf que la route vers l&rsquo;UFC est sem\u00e9e de d\u00e9tours douloureux. En 2021, il participe au TUF 29 (Team Volkanovski vs Team Ortega) et tombe aux quarts de finale face \u00e0 Liudvik Sholinian aux points. Quelques mois plus tard, sur le Contender Series, il c\u00e8de par rear-naked choke d\u00e8s le deuxi\u00e8me round contre Jake Hadley. Deux claques, mais il ne d\u00e9croche pas : il repart en r\u00e9gion, encha\u00eene les victoires \u2014 dont un KO en 49 secondes sur Tyler Smythe en mai 2023 et un TKO au quatri\u00e8me round sur Justin Valentin en janvier 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC, enfin \u2014 et trois rounds qui font mal<\/h3>\n<p>La chance se repr\u00e9sente le 1er juin 2024 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 302 : Raposo accepte un combat sur court pr\u00e9avis contre Andre Lima. Trois rounds serr\u00e9s, d\u00e9faite en split decision. Le d\u00e9but UFC r\u00eav\u00e9, ce n&rsquo;est pas \u00e7a, mais il reste sur la liste. Dix mois plus tard, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 314 le 12 avril 2025, rebelote face au Chinois Sumudaerji \u2014 encore une split decision qui lui \u00e9chappe au bout de quinze minutes intenses. Deux d\u00e9faites aux points, sans jamais se faire dominer franchement, mais sans victoire \u00e0 montrer.<\/p>\n<h3>La premi\u00e8re victoire UFC et la suite<\/h3>\n<p>C&rsquo;est \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 321 le 25 octobre 2025 que le verrou saute. Face \u00e0 Azat Maksum, Raposo impose son rythme sur trois rounds, place notamment un overhand droit percutant en deuxi\u00e8me round, et s&rsquo;offre sa premi\u00e8re victoire \u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone par d\u00e9cision unanime (30-26, 29-27, 29-27). Un r\u00e9sultat clair qui t\u00e9moigne de la polyvalence de son jeu : striking en entr\u00e9es-sorties, contr\u00f4le au sol appuy\u00e9 sur son BJJ, transitions fluides. Au moment o\u00f9 ces lignes sont \u00e9crites, il est programm\u00e9 pour affronter Allan Nascimento le 21 juin 2026 \u00e0 Las Vegas (UFC Fight Night, Meta APEX) \u2014 son quatri\u00e8me passage sous la banni\u00e8re UFC et une chance de confirmer que sa place dans l&rsquo;organisation est bien m\u00e9rit\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/mitch-raposo\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/mitch-raposo\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/conandaily.com\/2025\/10\/25\/13-things-about-ufc-fighter-mitch-raposo-from-fall-river-massachusetts\/\">ConanDaily<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitch Raposo, flyweight UFC de Fall River (Massachusetts), 10-3-0 au pro, ceinture noire BJJ et lutteur.
