Did UFC sign him? He posted on twitter but not in English. Just saw UFC in his post. His profile is up on their site now also.

Link? I can't see anything about UFC on his twitter, apart from wishing Assuncao well in his fight.

I can't see it being true. He had a fight a few weeks ago to win the Tourney final. Even if his contract has expired, Bellator would have exclusive contract negotiations for a month.

Would be great news.
He is way to talented to get stuck in Bellator his entire career. I cant stand fighters who claim to be te best in the world while still in a small shallow pond. If someone takes Lima's ground game to the next level he is a true challenger in that division.
I would much rather see Lima in the UFC over Ben Askren just because Lima attempts to be multi-versatile. Askren only comes to wrestle and tells everyone to get over it.

I really f---ing hope this isn't false. Lima would be an awesome UFC addition.

Didn't mean to cause panic of false hopes fellas I feel the same way. Lima would be an awesome addition.

Talk about a big Tease...No way this is possible, is there? But man, I'd say first fight out the box: Lima vs Ellenberger. Bang Bang!!!

8 fight contracts are VERY common in Bellator.
edit: Hearing he is still under Bellator contract.

I can't get over Lima doing worse against Askren than Jay Hieron did. Lima got dominated by a guy with zero stand up.

That's ok. It's all about match ups. Some fighters are just all around tougher to fight than others. It happens.

I don't think it's legit.

Any idea why he would have a profile though?
