UFC Veteran Nascimento Seeks Redemption After Long Layoff After a nearly three-year hiatus from the Octagon, UFC veteran Marcus Nascimento is set to return to action, but his comeback path has been anything but smooth. Nascimento last fought at UFC 119 in June, falling to Mitch Raposo via split decision, a loss that marked the end of his previous stint in the promotion. As he prepares to step back into the cage, fans and pundits alike are wondering if Nascimento still has what it takes to compete at the highest level. Can he recapture his former glory and make a successful return to the UFC, or will his long layoff prove to be a major obstacle?
