Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Allan Alves do Nascimento (September 11, 1991 – August 3, 2026) was a Brazilian mixed martial artist. A member of the Chute Boxe Academy, he competed in the Flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) from 2021 until his death in 2026.

Background

Nascimento was born in São Paulo, Brazil. He started training in Muay Thai at age of 15, thanks to a suggestion by a schoolmate. Despite his family not wanting him to be a professional fighter, he had a frank talk with them, and they supported his career.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Nascimento started his professional career in 2011 and amassed a record of 17–4 in the Brazilian regional scene, including overseas bouts in the United States and Japan, before appearing on Dana White's Contender Series.[3]

Dana White's Contender Series

Nascimento was invited to Dana White's Contender Series Brazil and faced Raulian Paiva on August 11, 2018.[4] He lost the fight via split decision.[5]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

From 2019, Nascimento had scheduled his four fights matchup but cancelled, he took first fight in 2021 and won by submission against Elivaldo Lima Martins.[2] Nascimento made his UFC debut against Tagir Ulanbekov on October 30, 2021, at UFC 267.[6] He lost the fight via split decision.[7]

Replacing Francisco Figueiredo, Nascimento was scheduled to face Jake Hadley on March 19, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 204.[8] However, Hadley eventually had to pull out due to injury.[9] They were later rescheduled to meet at UFC on ESPN 36 on May 14, 2022.[10] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[11]

Nascimento was scheduled to face Malcolm Gordon on August 13, 2022, at UFC on ESPN 41.[12] However, Gordon pulled out in late July due to an undisclosed injury and the bout has been cancelled.[13]

He faced Carlos Hernandez on January 14, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 217. He won the fight via a rear-naked choke in round one.[14] This fight earned him his first Performance of the Night award.[15]

Nascimento was scheduled to face Tim Elliott on June 3, 2023, at UFC on ESPN 46.[16] However on April 28, Nascimento pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Victor Altamirano.[17]

He was scheduled to face Su Mudaerji on December 9, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 233.[18] However, Nascimento withdrew from the fight due to injury and was replaced by Tim Elliott.[19]

Nascimento was scheduled to face Jafel Filho on August 10, 2024, at UFC on ESPN 61.[20] However, a few days before the event, Nascimento has withdrawn due to illness and the bout was cancelled.[21]

Replacing Steve Erceg, Nascimento was scheduled to face Asu Almabayev on March 1, 2025, at UFC Fight Night 253.[22] However, Almabayev was pulled to fight Manel Kape in the main event after Brandon Royval withdrew due to multiple concussions.[23]

The bout between Nascimento and Jafel Filho took place on May 31, 2025, at UFC on ESPN 68.[24] At the weigh-ins, Nascimento weighed in at 127.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and Nascimento was fined 20 percent of his purse which went to Filho.[25] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[26]

He was scheduled to face Rafael Estevam on November 1, 2025, at UFC Fight Night 263.[27] However, Estevam withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Cody Durden in a 130 lb catchweight bout.[28][29] He won the fight via an anaconda choke in round two.[30] This fight earned him another Performance of the Night award.[31]

Nascimento was scheduled to face Mitch Raposo on April 18, 2026, at UFC Fight Night 273.[32] However, Raposo was forced off just two days before the event due to illness, so the bout was re-scheduled and took place at UFC Fight Night 279 on June 20, 2026.[33] He lost the fight via split decision.[34]

Personal life and death

Nascimento had a wife and two children.[35] He earned the nickname "Puro Osso", Portuguese for "All Bones", due to his lean physique as a teenager.[36] He lived in São Paulo throughout his life.[37]

On August 3, 2026, Nascimento was found unresponsive in his home after suffering an apparent heart attack in his sleep. At the age of 34, he was pronounced dead at the scene by the responding medical team.[36][38]

Tributes

News of Nascimento's death was first announced by the UFC, who described him as "a skilled competitor and consummate professional".[39] "I mean, it's horrible," said UFC president Dana White. "It's just one of those freak, tragedy things that happened to a young guy that it shouldn't happen to."[40] Chute Boxe Academy, Nascimento's longtime gym, called him "a warrior, a friend, a dedicated competitor, and an extraordinary human being" who inspired others.[39] Tributes were also paid by former UFC champion Charles Oliveira and Elves Brener, both of whom were training partners of Nascimento at Chute Boxe, with Oliveira stating that his teammates would make sure Nascimento's legacy would never be forgotten.[41][42] Nascimento's funeral was held on August 5, 2026, where attendees formed a guard of honor as his casket was carried by Chute Boxe members.[42]
