The read
Degli's finishing rate and momentum off his Contender Series performance make him dangerous everywhere the fight goes, but a step up to the UFC cage against an experienced wrestler is its own test.
If Raposo can impose his takedowns and control time, his own unbeaten-by-finish record travels; if Degli keeps this standing or escapes to his feet, his power and craft are live.
The matchup
This newly added flyweight bout pairs a grinding American wrestler against a finishing-minded Brazilian debutant riding a 13-fight win streak.
Raposo wins with takedowns and top control and has never been finished, while Degli has nine knockouts and five submissions in 15 career wins and arrives off a Contender Series finish that earned his contract.
