UFC Flyweight Allan Nascimento Passes Away At 34

Flyweight competitor Allan Nascimento was found unresponsive following an apparent heart attack on Monday morning, passing away as a result less than two months removed from his most recent UFC appearance.

Nascimento appeared on Dana White’s Confender series in 2018, but didn’t quite make the cut just then. He officially debuted in the UFC in 2021, securing four wins in six matches during his time with the promotion. This included an impressive submission over Cody Durden using a constricting anaconda choke, which earned him performance of the night last November.

Overall in his professional career ‘Puro Osso’ competed in 29 mixed martial arts matches, and secured victories in 22. The UFC announced Nascimento’s tragic death by way of social media, extending condolences to friends and family of the deceased fighter. Further details surrounding his death have not been released at this time.

“This morning, Monday, Aug. 3, our beloved flyweight fighter, Allan Nascimento, was found unresponsive after suffering an apparent heart attack in his sleep. Despite the efforts of the responding medical team, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Allan’s family, friends, teammates and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
