Marcos Degli Accuses UFC of Wanting Mitch Raposo Out Over 'Padded Record'
World Sports · 05:06:34 - Monday, 9 November 2026

UFC analyst Marcos Degli has claimed that the promotion is looking to remove flyweight prospect Mitch Raposo from its roster, alleging that Raposo's professional record has been padded with carefully selected opponents.

Degli, speaking on Dana White's Contender Series coverage, suggested that the UFC's matchmaking strategy may be designed to facilitate Raposo's exit following a series of unimpressive performances.

Raposo, who appeared on the Contender Series, has not commented on the accusations. The UFC has not issued a statement regarding Degli's remarks.
