Lima on the fight’s key moment
“I’m more technical, but he had really good distance with his boxing. That’s why I went to the kicks. I was landing my kicks and had to keep throwing them. I kept jabbing to make him back up and kick him, because he had really good distance with his hands. I knew that coming in, but he still surprised me.”
Lima on settling for a split decision
“This is the most confident I’ve ever been before they announced a decision. Then they go and say 29-28 Luke and I’m like, ‘Come on!’ I’ve got to start finishing more fights. It sucked. I thought I clearly won.”
Lima on what he wants next
“We’ll see who’s next. I don’t know yet. I want to enjoy time with my family and kids. I’ll leave it in God’s hands. I don’t have anything planned yet.”
