Matchup Analysis
Home-country spotlight for Charriere in Paris
Charriere returns to Accor Arena in Paris at UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs Parnasse, where the French crowd should give him a significant energy boost against the visiting Lima.
SourceCharriere's finishing instincts can flip rounds quickly
Charriere has finished 16 of his victories inside the distance by strikes or submissions, showing a knack for capitalizing decisively when he hurts opponents.
SourceLima's grappling volume could test Charriere's defense
Lima averages slightly more takedowns per 15 minutes but nearly doubles Charriere's submission attempts rate, signaling a game plan built around repeated level changes and opportunistic grappling.
SourceContrasting records and early UFC trajectories
Charriere enters with a 21-12-1 professional mark and a 3-3 start in the UFC, while Lima brings a 14-2-0 record and a 2-1 octagon slate that suggests a slightly smoother big-league adaptation so far.
SourceBoth fighters looking to rebound from recent setbacks
Charriere rides a win–loss pattern and is coming off a first-round KO defeat to Melquizael Costa in December 2025, while Lima dropped a unanimous decision to Payton Talbott in June 2025.
SourceActivity versus layoff dynamic
Charriere fought as recently as December 2025, whereas Lima has been out of action for over a year with roughly 427 days of inactivity flagged ahead of this matchup.
SourceDamage profiles favor Lima's durability
Charriere has absorbed most of his defeats on the scorecards with only one loss each by knockout and submission, while Lima has never been stopped by strikes and owns just one submission and one decision loss.
SourcePick Ideas
Over 1.5 rounds as a tempo play
Lima has gone the distance repeatedly in three- and even five-round contests, and Charriere has scored UFC knockouts in the second and third rounds, pointing toward a bout that may need time to catch fire.
Lima moneyline lean on quality wins
Prior UFC victories over solid names like Miles Johns by unanimous decision and Muhammad Naimov by late submission show Lima can solve durable opponents, making him an appealing side if odds are near pick'em.
Charriere by KO/TKO as a high-variance stab
All three of Charriere's UFC wins have come by knockout, so method-of-victory bettors willing to embrace volatility can target his KO/TKO line rather than the straight moneyline.
Lima by submission prop as a value angle
With multiple career submission victories on his résumé, Lima offers sneaky upside to catch Charriere on the mat if the Frenchman overextends during striking exchanges.
