The win was a good way for de Lima to rebound from a disappointing loss to Blagoy Ivanov earlier this year, and while he remains a somewhat limited fighter, this was more proof that he’s got the power to change any fight in his favor. Either way, the native of Georgia will have a lot more hype on him after this finish. After the bout, Dolidze called for a top 15 opponent next, and based on this showing, he probably deserves it. The fight’s opening seconds saw Hooper walk directly into a combination of crisp punches, and it came as no surprise to see him dive for a takedown. TUF 29 finalist Tresean Gore was up against a serious experience disadvantage in his bout with Josh Fremd last night. Hawes took Dolidze down early, but after eating some elbows from the bottom, ‘Megatron’ then found himself caught in a nasty kneebar/heel hook combination. Given his spotty record, it’s unlikely that ‘Mean Machine’ will climb into contention at 145lbs any time soon, but there’s no denying that this was one of 2022’s most ruthless beatings, and given Hooper had impressed in his previous showing, Garcia did brilliantly to take him out. However, to completely put Kattar’s loss down to the injury would be doing ‘Almighty’ a bit of a disservice.
