Hasan recently earned a UFC contract with a 45-second knockout win on Dana White’s Contender Series. He made an 18-day turnaround for his UFC debut in Shanghai, China, where he knocked out Nilson Rojas in the second round.
Hasan then called out Lima, who picked up a third-round submission win over Namsrai Batbayar at UFC Shanghai, after beating Rojas.

In his post-fight interview, Hasan said he wasn’t impressed with Lima’s performance while watching the fight in the locker room ahead of his bout. Responding to Hasan, Lima says the Indonesian-American only called him out once he had the microphone.
Lima claims Hasan didn’t make eye contact with him whenever they crossed each other at the fighter hotel.
“Some clown called me out after his fight,” Lima wrote on X. “I responded, and then he completely disappeared. Every time he saw me at the hotel, he’d walk by with his head down. Then he gets a microphone in his hand and suddenly wants to talk sh*t. Damn rookies.”
Making sure that he was talking about Hasan, Lima commented, “He’s a b*tch,” when someone mentioned the former. Lima says he is healthy and has already asked his manager to get his next fight booked.

I’ve already contacted my manager and asked for my next fight. 👊🏻
I’m 100% healthy — no injuries, no problems, and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I’m hungry and ready to beat somebody up! 😂🔥
