Charriere vs Lima · UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse

Predictions summary

What happened

The result, the defining moments, and what the verdict means.

Lima worked jabs, left hooks to the body, leg and oblique kicks and three-to-five-punch bursts, adding a late takedown in each of the first two rounds.

Charriere fought largely one shot at a time and could not turn the clinch into anything.

Lima wobbled Charriere with a one-two late in round three and followed with a four-punch burst and a clubbing right at the bell.

Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in

Case for Charriere

Charrière is the busier and heavier hitter: 4.02 significant strikes a minute to Lima’s 2.86, and 0.88 knockdowns per 15 minutes against a man who has never scored one in the UFC. He defends 83% of takedowns — and the last time he fought in Paris he knocked Gabriel Miranda out 27 seconds into the second round and took Performance of the Night.

Case for Lima

Lima is 14-2 and much harder to hit or to hold: 65% striking defence to Charrière’s 54%, 86% takedown defence, and 2.91 significant strikes absorbed a minute against 4.51. A former Oktagon bantamweight champion, his UFC breakthrough was a third-round rear-naked choke of Muhammad Naimov — who fights on this same main card.

What We Were Watching For

  • Charrière was knocked out by a Melquizael Costa head kick 1:14 into his last fight, in December 2025.
  • Knockdown average: 0.88 for Charrière, 0.00 for Lima across his UFC run.
  • Lima has landed 1 takedown from 22 attempts, into Charrière’s 83% takedown defence.
  • Both men arrive on a loss, and Nathaniel Wood — fighting on this card’s prelims — beat Charrière on the cards in March 2025.
