September 22, 2017
Lim was defeated by Daichi Abe via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Friday in Japan.
ANALYSIS
Lim showed good boxing in this fight, but came up just short in the closing seconds. He didn't do a good job of using his length in the first round and got caught on multiple occasions by the UFC newcomer's left hook. However, he seemed to gauge the distance better in the second round and continuously landed his right hand. "The Ace" visibly wobbled Abe on multiple occasions, but was not able to knock him down. In the third round, the pace slowed but the Korean fighter was able to land more shots. He seemed to be on his way to a decision victory until he was caught with a right hand and knocked down in the closing seconds. It was a very competitive, exciting fight.

Taken out by Mike Perry at UFC 202

August 20, 2016
Lim lost to Mike Perry via TKO (strikes) at 3:38 of Round 2 at UFC 202 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Any loss is a bad loss, but this one is even worse when you take into account the size advantage that Lim had over the debuting Perry. He appeared to be twice Perry's size, but that didn't help Lim in the least. He stood in front of Perry for long stretches of time and that is almost always a recipe for disaster. Lim never deserved to be on the main portion of a Pay-Per-View card to begin with, and this effort proved that. He offers little to the UFC's 170-pound division.
