Marcos Rogério de Lima, also known as Marcos "Pezão", (born May 25, 1985), is a Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter currently competing in the Light Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2009, Lima has also formerly competed for Strikeforce and was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Lima made a name for himself fighting on his home country of Brazil. With an undefeated professional record, Lima surprised when defeated the heavy favorite and former WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho.[2]

After his win against Filho, Lima was signed by Strikeforce.[3] He made his debut on September 10, 2011 against Mike Kyle at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov,[4] losing the fight via unanimous decision.[5]

Following his debut defeat, Lima was released from Strikeforce.[6] He fought for the Shooto Brazil light heavyweight championship at Shooto Brazil 29 on April 26, 2012 against Carlos Eduardo, losing the fight via knockout in the second round.[7]

The Ultimate Fighter

On February 26, 2014 it was revealed that Marcos de Lima was selected to be a participant on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.[8] Lima defeated Thiago dos Santos via submission to move into the Ultimate Fighter house, and become an official cast member.[9]

Lima was selected as the first pick (first overall) of coach Chael Sonnen to be a part of Team Sonnen. In his second Heavyweight fight of the season, Lima was selected to fight Jollyson Francisco and won via unanimous decision.[10] He was then scheduled to face Antônio Carlos Júnior for a spot in the final against Vitor Miranda. He was defeated by submission (rear-naked choke).[11]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Lima made his UFC debut on May 31, 2014 at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale against Richardson Moreira.[12] He won the fight via knockout in the first round.[13]

In his second bout for the promotion, Lima faced Igor Pokrajac in the Light Heavyweight division on December 20, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Dollaway.[14] He won the fight via TKO in the first round.

He was briefly linked to a bout with Nikita Krylov on June 20, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 69.[15] However, the pairing was booked to take place a week later at UFC Fight Night 70.[16] Subsequently, Lima was removed from the card on June 19, after visa issues restricted his entry to the United States.[17] The bout with Krylov eventually took place on August 23, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 74, with Lima losing by way of submission due to a rear naked choke in the first round.[18]

De Lima next faced Clint Hester on April 23, 2016 at UFC 197.[19] He won the one sided fight via submission in the first round.[20]

De Lima was briefly linked to a bout with Gian Villante on November 12, 2016 at UFC 205.[21] However, Villante pulled out of the fight on September 21 citing injury and the bout was scrapped.[22] Subsequently, De Lima was quickly rescheduled and faced promotional newcomer Gadzhimurad Antigulov the following week at UFC Fight Night 100.[23] He was quickly submitted in the first round.[24]
