André Lima bio
Personal background
André Lima is a Brazilian flyweight in the UFC, an unbeaten striker nicknamed "Mascote" who carries an 11–0 professional record. He was born on February 4, 1999, in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. Before combat sports became a career, he worked as a street vendor, and he built his foundation in kickboxing, where he became a multiple-time Brazilian and South American champion and one of the country's most decorated amateurs in the sport. He later earned a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, rounding out a game that began on the feet. Standing 5'7" with a 67-inch reach and fighting out of Team Lucas Mineiro, Lima carried that striking-heavy base into mixed martial arts and has yet to taste defeat.
Path to the UFC
Lima made his professional MMA debut in October 2022 and moved quickly, stacking finishes and decisions across Brazilian regional promotions including Spartacus MMA, R1 Fighting Series, and the Legacy Fighting Alliance. His run earned a spot on Dana White's Contender Series in 2023, where he outpointed the experienced Rickson Zenidim to claim a UFC contract while keeping his record spotless.
An unusual UFC debut and a rising run
Lima's Octagon debut in March 2024 against fellow unbeaten prospect Igor Severino produced one of the strangest finishes in promotional history: Severino was disqualified in the second round for biting, handing Lima a win and a clean entry into the win column. He proved the result was no fluke, edging Mitch Raposo by split decision at UFC 302 in June 2024, then taking a unanimous decision over Felipe dos Santos that September. In March 2025 he showed the depth of his game by submitting veteran Daniel Barez with a third-round rear-naked choke, his first finish inside the Octagon and a sign of a flyweight still climbing.

Fighting style
Lima is a striker by trade, and his record bears it out — five of his 11 wins have come by knockout, the product of a long kickboxing pedigree and sharp, accurate hands. His finish rate sits around 55 percent, with the balance of his wins coming on the scorecards, reflecting a fighter comfortable banking rounds when a stoppage does not present itself. The Barez submission added a new dimension, confirming the BJJ black belt is more than a one-dimensional kickboxer. With every UFC fight to date a win, his durability and composure under pressure remain his calling cards, though his ceiling against the division's elite is still being tested.
Career highlights
- Perfect professional record — unbeaten at 11–0, with a flawless run that carried from the Brazilian regional scene straight through the UFC flyweight division.
- Contender Series contract — earned his UFC deal by beating the experienced Rickson Zenidim on Dana White's Contender Series in 2023.
- Versatile finisher — a multiple-time kickboxing champion with five KO wins who proved his grappling by submitting Daniel Barez in the third round.
