Conor would still beat his ass so that's a bad comparisonÂ

Doesn’t mean people want to see the fight more. Lima needs opponents in Bellator as well.
UFC should cross promote a Douglas Lima/Leon Edwards fight. He talks wild about the “minor leagues” let Lima defend his Bellator belt in the UFC cage.
dieselman -  I swear he looked 10 fold better in strike force.
What did he do in Strikeforce that impressed you?
He had two fights there and went 1-1 with his lone win coming against guy who sports a 12-10 record (Tim Stout). The last time Miller looked even remotely impressive was his win over Tim Kennedy back in 2007. Since that win, he has gone 4-4 with his four wins coming against Stout, the corpse of Sakuraba, a professional jobber in Shibata, and a one-dimensional brawler in Kala Hose. He hasn’t been an elite fighter since his 2005-2007 peak when he beat Kennedy, Robbie Lawler, Falaniko Vitale Lodune Sincaid and Hiromitsu Miura.
Lima would be dope in the UFC but wouldn't pass USADA and be far less impressive.
