Returning from a lengthy layoff, André Lima engaged in a highly competitive striking battle against the experienced Kevin Borjas.

Borjas managed to edge out the crucial exchanges, utilizing superior counter-striking and Octagon control to consistently land the cleaner combinations.

Fight Overview

Andre Lima brings a perfect 11-0 record — including five knockouts and a recent submission — into a flyweight bout against Kevin Borjas, a hard-hitting Peruvian who has put away 8 of his 10 wins by KO. Lima is one of the more quietly dangerous unbeaten prospects on the UFC roster, and Borjas is exactly the kind of live-wire power puncher who can shatter streaks in a single exchange.

Keys to Victory

André Lima

  1. Use his well-rounded skill set to control positions and avoid standing in the pocket against a heavy-handed opponent.
  2. Secure takedowns early and use ground control to neutralise Borjas's knockout power and grind out rounds.
  3. If striking, move in and out quickly rather than settling into flat-footed exchanges where Borjas's power is most dangerous.

Kevin Borjas

  1. Cut off the cage and look to land his signature power shots the moment Lima stops moving.
  2. Accept the grappling exchanges but work to get back to his feet quickly where his knockout threat is highest.
  3. Start fast and look for an early finish before Lima's composure and technique can take over in the later rounds.
