After going through a difficult time within Ultimate, when he suffered two consecutive defeats in his first appearances, Dhiego definitely found the path to victory and is enjoying a great phase within the organization. With a successful 2019, the fighter had his next commitment scheduled for the beginning of 2020.

To achieve the objective, Lima, however, will not have an easy challenge. Like the Brazilian, Morono is also going through a good moment in the company and has the same number of successes in a row. The North American, who also had a successful year, is trying to enter the ranking of the main athletes in one of the company's most competitive categories.

At 30 years old, Lima now has 22 fights in his career, with 15 wins and seven losses. His rival, with 29, has the same number of appearances, but 17 triumphs and five setbacks.

With confirmation of the clash, the athletes are inserted into the card that will mark the return of Jon Jones to the octagon for another title defense. On that occasion, 'Bones' will exchange forces with the undefeated Dominick reyes, which tries to end the champion's hegemony.
