The read
Batbayar has finished all nine of his career wins and looked sharp doing it on Road to UFC, making him a live threat from the opening bell.
Lima has more experience against varied styles but is coming off his first loss and now faces another finisher rather than a grinder.
Lean a fast-paced, finish-heavy fight with Batbayar's stoppage rate giving him a slight edge in a coin-flip matchup.
The matchup
Both flyweights arrive off notable results — Lima's first career loss to Kevin Borjas, Batbayar's UFC-contract-earning finish on Road to UFC — in a fight between two finishers who have stopped the majority of their career wins.
Batbayar has never gone to a decision, a sign of real finishing instinct, while Lima's only blemish came against a durable, well-rounded veteran rather than a raw finisher.
Early exchanges should tell the story here.
