Summary
Andre Lima closed the UFC Shanghai prelims with a third-round guillotine, tapping Namsrai Batbayar at 3:03 to rebound from his first career loss in June.
Lima controlled much of the first two rounds with forward pressure and cleaner shots, then jumped on Batbayar’s lowered head, advanced to full mount and forced the submission.
The win lifted the Brazilian to 5-1 in the UFC and spoiled Road to UFC winner Batbayar’s promotional debut, though Lima missed weight for the second time in the promotion.
Five of the seven prelim bouts ended inside the distance, including first-round submission and knockout wins for Rei Tsuruya, Francesco Nuzzi and Julia Polastri, underscoring a finish-heavy card in Shanghai.
