Rogerio de Lima is coming off a victory back in February in which he disposed of Junior Tafa in the first round. He'll look to once again stack consecutive victories in the UFC and put more distance between his most recent loss at the hands of Derrick Lewis. His opponent Nzechukwu has five inches of height on him, as well as eight inches more on his wingspan.

Dominates late-notice replacement
Rogerio de Lima defeated Junior Tafa via TKO (strikes) at 1:14 of Round 2 at UFC 298 on Saturday in Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
Rogerio de Lima came to Anaheim intending to fight a member of the Tafa family and got his wish. After Justin was forced to withdraw on Friday, Junior stepped in for his brother on one day's notice and was dominated. Rogerio de Lima simply stood in the pocket and fired off massive kicks to the lead leg of his opponent. The huge blows allowed him to get his wrestling game and whatever else he wanted going in the process. Referee Frank Trigg was finally forced to step in early in Round 2 after the final shot crumpled Tafa. If Justin's ailment isn't serious, perhaps the UFC will look to book he and Rogerio de Lima once again.
