UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song
Andre Lima defeats Namsrai Batbayar by Submission
Round 3 · 3:03
Batbayar vs Lima — Flyweight · UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song
Predictions summary
What happened
The result, the defining moments, and what the verdict means.
The more experienced and polished Brazilian was the more effective of the two throughout the first two rounds, constantly walking down Batbayar and landing the bigger shots in what was a relatively low output contest on both sides.
Midway through the third, Lima dove on a guillotine choke as the Mongolian dipped his head, quickly transitioning to full mount and securing the tap.

Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in
Case for Batbayar
Batbayar has never been to a decision. Eleven professional fights, ten wins — five by knockout and five by submission, an even split almost nobody carries — and a single defeat that also ended early. He has won six straight.
Case for Lima
Lima's record is the opposite kind: five of his twelve fights reached the judges and he averages 13:30. He defends 76% of takedowns and throws 0.93 submission attempts per 15 minutes, so his route is to make Batbayar work through rounds Batbayar has never had to fight.
What We Were Watching For
- Batbayar has never been to a decision in eleven fights. Lima has been to five in twelve.
- Lima's 76% takedown defence against an opponent whose wins split evenly between knockouts and submissions.
- Every win of Batbayar's career ended inside the distance; he is 25 and on a six-fight run.
- Lima's most recent defeat was to Kevin Borjas in June — and Borjas fights Rei Tsuruya on this same card.

How Claude sees the fight
Andre Lima is the more proven, longer, higher-volume flyweight — 3.94 SLpM, 57% accuracy, 13:30 average fight time, never finished — against Namsrai Batbayar, a debutant whose record is all finishes and who has not been past round two since 2022 (source-7, source-6, source-2). Batbayar's path is fast: hook, drop, back-take, RNC — the sequence Lima's 76% takedown defense and the scramble issues Borjas exposed invite (source-5). If Lima banks the first five minutes, the level-of-competition gap compounds for him. Model's 68% Lima sits near the market's ~71% (source-11), most of it on the cards.
Keys to victory
- Experience gap: Andre Lima has 5 UFC bouts and 45+ Octagon minutes; Namsrai Batbayar's best wins are Road to UFC level and he has never fought past round two
- Namsrai Batbayar's finishes are front-loaded — six first-round stoppages, knockdown into back-take RNC — against a man Borjas out-landed and took down
- Andre Lima's durability and pacing (never finished, 57% accuracy, 59% defense) vs Namsrai Batbayar's 48% striking defense and 3.42 SApM over a long fight
X-factor
Andre Lima's schedule: a 15-month layoff broken in June, now a ~10-week turnaround plus Brazil-to-Shanghai travel — a slow first round is exactly the window Namsrai Batbayar's power needs.

How Gemini sees the fight
Batbayar and Lima clash in a classic grappler versus striker flyweight matchup. Batbayar (10-1-0) brings momentum from his Road to UFC win and a 100% finish rate fueled by aggressive grappling. Lima (11-1-0) counters with elite kickboxing, high striking volume, and a BJJ brown belt. This coin-flip bout hinges on Lima's takedown defense. If Lima keeps it standing, his volume can win rounds, but Batbayar's finishing threat remains constantly dangerous. The forecast predicts Namsrai Batbayar to win, favoring his grappling and finish upside.
Keys to victory
- Batbayar's aggressive wrestling and 100% finish rate
- Lima's high striking volume and heavy leg kicks
- Lima's takedown defense determining whether the bout remains on the feet
X-factor
Lima's takedown defense. If he stuffs Batbayar's entries, he dictates the striking exchanges; if not, Batbayar's perfect finishing rate threatens to end the bout on the mat.
