Marcos Rogerio 'Pezao' de Lima has spent a long UFC career as a powerful, hard-hitting presence across the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions. The Brazilian built his reputation on heavy hands and a uniquely brutal leg-kick game, the kind of weapon that can end fights in unusual fashion and make him a dangerous out for anyone.
De Lima has traded results with the division's tough names over the years, banking wins over veterans like Ben Rothwell and Maurice Greene as well as rising prospects such as Waldo Cortes-Acosta. He has also shared the cage with the division's heavy hitters and fan favorites, including a fight against the dangerous Derrick Lewis.
He was never a title contender, but de Lima carved out a durable role as a heavyweight gatekeeper. His combination of power, aggression and signature leg kicks keeps him a threat to finish anyone, and a meaningful test for the division's up-and-comers.
