Chute Boxe’s Diego Lima vows to keep Allan Nascimento’s name alive

Chute Boxe is honoring Allan
Nascimento.
Nascimento (22-7) died in his sleep in early August, reportedly due
to a cardiac arrest. The
Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight's coach has now paid
tribute to his late friend and pupil.
Diego Lima renames his institute after longtime student and UFC
flyweight Allan Nascimento
Chute Boxe head coach Diego Lima recently revealed that the Diego
Lima Institute has now been renamed the Allan Nascimento Institute
in honor of “Puro Osso.â€
“Allan has been my student since he was 14 years old,†Lima told
MMA Fighting while tearing up. “So, we have been together for 20
years. It's almost been a month. There hasn't been a single day
when I haven't cried. Our institute today, the Diego Lima
Institute, is not going to be called the Diego Lim Institute
anymore. It's going to be called the Allan Nascimento Institute. As
long as I live, I will honor his name. As long as I live, I will
say his name because he was my student, he is my student, he is my
athlete.â€
Lima also revealed that apart from being his student, Nascimento
was also his business partner, handling some management
responsibilities. Lima had originally planned to retire from
coaching when Nascimento hung up his gloves.
“He was one of the most loyal friends I've ever had in my life,â€
Lima added. “He was my business partner. A lot of people didn't
know this, but when it came to all my management affairs, he was my
partner. I would always have the conversations and negotiations,
but the email account was ours, so all the emails, everything, was
with him. And I used to joke with him that when he retired, I would
retire too. He was going to fight until he was around 40 years old.
That was our plan. Maybe he would go a little beyond that, maybe
not, but as soon as he retired, I was going to retire too, because
then he would take care of everything. Those plans ended up
changing a little bit.â€
The Chute Boxe team is still reeling from the tragic death of
Nascimento. Notably, Charles
Oliveira reportedly withdrew from a rematch against Arman
Tsarukyan at UFC
331 to grieve the death of his friend and teammate.

Colby
Covington after Dillon
Danis withdrew.
Danis was scheduled to face Covington in a submission-only match on
Nov. 3 at Pala Pellicone in Rome. However, Hype FC CEO Armand
Martirosian announced at Sunday's press conference that Danis had
pulled out. “El Nino Problema†stepped in to face the former

Rosas, who was attending the press conference, volunteered when
Martirosian called for a replacement.
“Let's do it, f*ck it… Chiwiwis!†Rosas Jr. said at the
presser.
Covington competed at welterweight in the UFC, while Rosas is a
bantamweight. Covington last fought in December 2024, losing to
Joaquin
Buckley, and has since notified the promotion of his retirement
from mixed martial arts. Rosas has won six straight and is coming
off a fifth-round technical knockout victory over Raoni
Barcelos.
Both are scheduled to compete in Real American Freestyle wrestling
matches this month. Covington faces Khamzat
Chimaev at RAF Abu Dhabi on Nov. 14, while Rosas takes on
Clay
Guida at RAF 15 on Nov. 28.
