Upcoming fight catchweight
Filho is scheduled to compete against Allan Nascimento in a catchweight fight at UFC Vegas 107 on Saturday, according to UFC.com.
ANALYSIS
Finally, nearly a year after both Filho and Nascimento were scheduled against each other, the two will get their fight. But because Nascimento missed the UFC's flyweight limit by 1.5 pounds, their bout will be at catchweight, with Filho receiving 20 percent of the former's purse.

Taking on Nascimento
Filho will take on Allan Nascimento in a flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 106 on May 31st, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Filho and Nascimento have practically identical circumstances. Both fighters are 2-1 in the UFC, and both are winners of their last two bouts after dropping their first contest in the promotion. For Filho, he most recently took care of Amir Abazi via unanimous decision. He gives up an inch of both height and reach to Nascimento, however.

Opponent pulls out of fight
Filho will no longer face Allan Nascimento in a flyweight bout on Saturday, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Filho was set to step into the octagon for the second time in 2024 and look to extend his winning streak to three. Now, with Nascimento forced to wtihdraw due to an illness, he'll either need to find an new opponent on the fly or wait for another chance to stretch his winning streak.

Set for UFC Vegas 95
Filho will face Allan Nascimento in a flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 95 on Aug. 10, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Filho owns a 2-1 record in the UFC, and he has the momentum on his side ahead of this clash since he's won his last two fights, both by submission. He also holds the edge in terms of form, as he'll face an opponent who hasn't stepped onto an octagon since 2022.

Second straight submission win
Filho defeated Ode Osbourne via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:27 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight appeared to be gift-wrapped for Filho given his high-level grappling skills and Osbourne's struggles in that area, and to Jafel's credit, he took full advantage of the opportunity. The Brazilian scored a pair of immediate takedowns before quickly and thoroughly tapping Osbourne out in a finish that would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Filho was submitted by a quality opponent in Muhammad Mokaev in his UFC debut almost exactly a year ago, but has rebounded with back-to-back victories since. He looks like solid depth for a flyweight division that needs all the help it can get moving forward.
