Destroyed by Matt Brown
Lima lost to Matt Brown via KO (punch) at 3:02 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It goes without saying that getting torched by an aging Brown won't help your chances of remaining with the company for an extended period of time. Lima actually looked halfway decent prior to the stoppage. He made a concerted effort to damage Brown with leg kicks, and the vast majority of them were finding their mark. Unfortunately for Lima, one straight punch right down the chute knocked him out cold. Lima has somehow served two tours of duty with the UFC despite posting a 4-7 career mark with the company. He lacks athleticism and struggles to generate offense outside of the most basic attacks. There is no guarantee the UFC runs him back out there after this effort.

Not competitive at UFC 258
Lima lost to Belal Muhammad via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 258 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Lima entered as one of the biggest underdogs on the entire card at +375 and it's easy to see why. Outside of plenty of vicious, well placed leg kicks, Lima did little throughout the course of the fight. He allowed Muhammad to consistently force him up against the cage and generally served as a punching bag for the entirety of the bout. Lima simply doesn't possess the offensive or defensive skill set to consistently succeed against better competition. He did enter Saturday's bout on a three-fight winning streak, but two of those were split decisions over Luke Jumeau and Court McGee and the third was a knockout over Chad Laprise, who hasn't fought since. The odds are strongly against Lima making any sort of run at age 32.
