When Felipe Lima defeated Jonas Mågård to become the new OKTAGON bantamweight champion he showed the world that he’s one of the absolute best 135’ers in Europe.

The two traded verbal jabs ahead of the fight, but when the door closed, it was all Lima’s show.

During five rounds of action, the Swedish-Brazilian proved to be a number too big for Mågård as he landed slick striking and threatened with numerous submission attempts.

In the fourth round he was deducted a point due to an illegal knee, but was still able to win the fight via a comfortable unanimous decision, with 48-45, 48-46 and 48-45 on the scorecards.
