André Lima has publicly announced he is making the jump to bantamweight, revealing the divisional switch in the wake of his appearance at UFC Vegas 119.
Lima made the move known himself, welcoming himself to the 135-pound division in what appears to be a self-directed announcement rather than a promotion-issued statement. The timing, coming directly after UFC Vegas 119, suggests the event played a role in his decision to change weight classes.
No additional fighter data was available to expand on Lima's record, ranking, or career statistics at the time of publication. Further details on his bantamweight debut, including a potential opponent or timeline, have not been confirmed.
