Lima wants a cross-promotional super-fight

Having beaten former UFC welterweight Rory MacDonald to capture the Bellator championship title, The Phenom knows that he is a world-beater in his weight class but he wants to drive home the fact by beating fighters sitting at the peak of the welterweight division in the UFC. Speaking to MMA Fighting, Lima talked about the possibility of a co-promotion between Bellator and UFC which would see him take on the best welterweight fighters from UFC.

Although Lima thinks that the chances of him getting to fight guys from the UFC are slim, he remains hopeful that President Dana White will budge sometime in the future.
