Next bout booked
Lima will face Felipe Bunes in a flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 108 on Aug. 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Lima is a perfect 4-0 in the UFC, and he'll go for win number five against an opponent in Bunes who's a little newer to the promotion with a 1-1 record. In his last bout, Lima took care of Daniel Barez with a Rear Naked Choke in Round 3 of a fight back in March. Bunes, meanwhile, just picked up his first win in the UFC, besting Jose Johnson with an Armbar back in January.

Remains perfect in UFC
Lima defeated Daniel Barez via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:05 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was another standout performance from Lima, who is quickly making a name for himself in the flyweight division. He dominated Barez from bell-to-bell, closing with a 108-33 edge in terms of significant strikes landed. Lima also connected on both of his takedown attempts and secured the first submission victory of his professional career -- which would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. With all due respect to Barez, Felipe dos Santos, Mitch Raposo and Igor da Silva, the 26-year-old Brazilian is worthy of a step up in competition his next time out.

Fighting Barez in March
Lima will take on Daniel Barez at a UFC event in Las Vegas on March 15, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Lima will put his undefeated professional record on the line against the older Barez as he looks to earn his fourth UFC victory. He will head into the fight coming off a pair of back-to-back decision victories over Felipe dos Santos and Mitch Raposo, respectively, after beginning his UFC career with a disqualification win over Igor Severino. The 25-year-old Brazilian will hope to use a slight height and reach advantage to overcome the experience of Barez. Lima will have to be weary of the stopping power of Barez, with the Spaniard boasting an impressive 7-0 record in KO/TKO finishes.

Remains perfect in UFC
Lima defeated Felipe dos Santos via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's very rare you see a clear cut unanimous decision in which the victor finds himself on the short end of a 69-43 disadvantage in terms of total strikes landed, but that's what we got in this one. Struggling with the stand-up game of dos Santos early on, Lima went to his wrestling and completely changed the tide of the fight. He landed just one takedown in each of the final two frames, but each of those successful attempts resulted in north of four minutes worth of control time in each instance. That, combined with dos Santos badly gassing out, led to Lima picking up his third UFC victory in as many tries.

Back in competition quickly
Lima is scheduled to compete against Felipe dos Santos at UFC Vegas 97 on Sept. 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Lima will have fought his next opponent in just a little over three months' time since he last fought, which was a split-decision win over Mitch Raposo. Ideally for everyone involved, Lima will not miss weight (by four pounds) like he did for the Raposo fight.
