André Lima has publicly called out Cody Durden, targeting a super bantamweight clash at 130 pounds on the UFC 329 card scheduled for July 11.
Cody Durden, known as "Custom Made," carries a professional record of 18-10-1 and competes out of American Top Team Atlanta. The 35-year-old American stands five-foot-seven with a 67-inch reach and fights out of a southpaw stance. Durden is an active and well-rounded threat inside the Octagon, landing 3.34 significant strikes per minute at 44 percent accuracy while also averaging 3.89 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a genuine dual-threat competitor. He adds a submission dimension to his game as well, attempting 0.6 submissions per 15 minutes.
Lima issued the challenge openly, placing the decision squarely in Durden's hands. No verified data for Lima was available in the AgentMMA database at the time of this report.
Why it matters
- The callout targets 130 pounds, a weight class that continues to grow in UFC relevance and depth
- Durden's blend of striking volume and takedown output would present a complex stylistic puzzle for any opponent
- A response from Durden and formal matchmaker involvement would be needed to move this toward an official booking for UFC 329
