“Nicknamed “Puro Osso,” which translates to “All Bones” because he was so lean as a teenager, Nascimento (22-7) was 4-2 in six appearances in the UFC. He signed with the promotion in 2021. Both of his losses came by split decision,” ESPN reported.
“He trained out of the renowned Chute Boxe team, under head coach Diego Lima,” ESPN reported.
