Felipe Lima got a motivation speech from his corner going into the final round of his debut against Muhammad Naimov at UFC on ABC 6 , then he went out and got a finish. After stepping in as a late replacement for the featherweight fight with Naimov (11-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) on Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Lima (13-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was putting on a competitive fight over the course of three rounds, but had no assurances of where he stood on the scorecards. His corner told him to push for the finish for his mother, who he hadn’t seen in nearly two years.
