Dhiego Lima realized the greatest moment of his UFC career the last time he stepped inside the octagon. He said he’s hoping to build off that at UFC on ESPN+ 8. After going on a three-fight losing skid in pro competition, Lima (13-7 MMA, 2-5 UFC) made good on what may have been his final chance at UFC glory in December. He scored a brutal 97-second knockout of Chad Laprise at UFC 231, giving him his first finish in seven bouts with the organization. Lima always has felt like his UFC record hasn’t accurately reflected his abilities. He showed what he’s capable of by finishing Laprise, and now he hopes to make another statement on Saturday when he meets Court McGee (19-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in a welterweight bout at UFC on ESPN+ 8
