Felipe Lima favored over Morgan Charriere clear UFC Fight Night: Parnasse vs. Hooker · August 29, 2026
strikinggood grapplinggreat

He says up front that he likes Lima a lot in this one, then closes with an unhedged 'all day' read on how the fight goes if it hits the mat and a specific plan for how the win happens, which comes across as a real, clearly-stated lean rather than a coinflip.

Lima is 4-1 across his last five outings, and the analyst is openly high on him here before even getting into specifics. He credits Lima with a tight, high-guard striking base, a quick jab, real danger once the fight gets to the pocket, heavy work to the body, and good range management moving in and out. Grappling is where the praise really piles up: he calls it flatly solid, pointing to position advancement toward the back, slick transitions, excellent scrambling, and constant sweep activity off his back using both conventional and unorthodox setups. The analyst expects that mat game, plus a willingness to wade in and make the fight messy, to be the deciding factor and picks Lima to get the win.

StrengthDigs to the body and manages range well both on the outside and moving in and out
StrengthGrappling is the standout tool -- strong position advancement, slick transitions, and genuine scramble excellence
StrengthConstant sweep threat off his back, mixing conventional and unorthodox setups
WeaknessEven in the analyst's own head-to-head comparison, he's not credited as the technically cleaner striker -- that edge goes to Charriere
WeaknessHis likeliest path to the win leans on trading and making things messy rather than out-boxing Charriere cleanly
