Briefing

Felipe Lima is the model’s side at 69% because of grappling / control, with Morgan Charrière live if the fight is forced into volume kickboxer.

Morgan Charrière (volume kickboxer, pressure boxer, brawler) against Felipe Lima (pressure wrestler, submission hunter) is a UFC featherweight matchup in Paris. The independent model puts Lima around 69% — a medium confidence number, not a betting line. The largest factor from 50/50 is grappling / control: Takedown threat Charrière 0.51 vs Lima 1.95 per 15. Estimated grappling share 30%.

Where this is fought matters. Estimated grappling share is 30%. Charrière lands 5.2 significant strikes per minute at 44% accuracy with a 1.2 takedown average; Lima is at 3.9 / 48% / 3.6. Takedown defense sits at 60% versus 80%. Reach is 69" against 68" — counted only if the longer fighter actually lives at range.

Charrière's primary path: Keep this at kicking range for the first 6–8 minutes. Charrière's length and volume only matter if Lima cannot crash the pocket. Failure mode: If the first takedown lands, Charrière may spend the round on the fence or on their back. Lima's primary path: Chain takedowns on Charrière's 60% defense, hold mat time, and win the control/attrition round. Failure mode: Getting drawn into Charrière's preferred range and losing the minute-winning.

The swing variable is simple: If Lima cannot keep this on the mat in the first eight minutes, Charrière's striking becomes the fight. The model does not start from a sportsbook. If DraftKings or Fanatics disagree, that disagreement is the point of the page.
