He went to insane lengths to pad his record. I kinda respect the hustle though.

With that being said he's about to fight a guy who had to beat legitimate opponents the hard way.
It's DWCS so anything can happen, guys with fraudulent records have won before, but Lima is just on a higher level skill & experience wise.

If there’s a specific fight you want to know about I can do a write up I guess

Cortavious Romious, TKO, R1
Although it was an early stoppage in taveras last fight, he's still chinny. Romious has a wrestling and power advantage. He usually comes out swinging heavy I can see him landing a big shot, dropping taveras then finishing him by g&p or a sub
Zenidim vs. Lima
André Lima, TKO, R2
Lima does have holes in his wrestling/grappling defense but he does a good job escaping bad positions if he gets in them. Zendim is flashy on the feet but a terrible boxer. Lima is way cleaner with his striking. Zenidim seems kinda soy & also faked a glove touch to a spinning head kick. I get that it's a fight but still a ***** move
Matthews vs. Farias
Jair Farias, TKO, R1
Matthews is a can crusher. The only decent opponent he fought he lost to. Farias looks way taller than 5'11. It's hard to tell how good farias is because he took 4 years off then came back against a can. He looks pretty flat footed when he fights but I just think he'll be too rangey for matthews
Finney vs. Panferov
Torrez Finney, DEC
I was hoping panferov was the favorite because I was looking to fade him big time. Both are grapplers but I've seen torrez fight longer than one round. I highly doubt panferov gets a first round finish & if he doesn't I see him gassing. I don't see either guy getting a contract unless torrez finishes a gassed panferov
Isakov vs. Mederos
Issa Isakov, DEC
Isakov kind of reminds me of Gamrot the way he fights. Terrible standup but non stop with the wrestling/grappling. Mederos trains at a good gym but this will definitely be his toughest opponent. Mederos uses alot of low leg kicks like most factory x fighters I'm not sure if that will help or hinder him because of isakov catches a kick he's going to keep going for single legs. Tough fight to call because mederos has shown good takedown defense but against trash opponents. Slight lean for isakov
Bittencourt vs. Rocha
Lucas Rocha, DEC
Not sure how the back to back weight cuts, albeit up a division this time, will affect either fighter. This is a striker (rocha) vs grappler (bittencourt) matchup. Both are good at what they do so that plus the back to back weight cuts have me staying away from betting on this fight

He was a two sport athlete at the Division 1 level. He played football and wrestled at the university of Chattanooga. His mma wrestling is crazy explosive; he loves power bombs and suplexes. Finney is one of the most naturally gifted athletes I’ve seen. He is pure muscle. Also, he trains with the legend trevor peek

Reminds me of Herschel Walker, who claims to eat one meal a day that consists of bread and soup but has muscles on top of his muscles 😂
