After his win against Filho, Lima was signed by Strikeforce.[3] He made his debut on September 10, 2011 against Mike Kyle at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov,[4] losing the fight via unanimous decision.[5]

Following his debut defeat, Lima was released from Strikeforce.[6] He fought for the Shooto Brazil light heavyweight championship at Shooto Brazil 29 on April 26, 2012 against Carlos Eduardo, losing the fight via knockout in the second round.[7]

Lima was selected as the first pick (first overall) of coach Chael Sonnen to be a part of Team Sonnen. In his second Heavyweight fight of the season, Lima was selected to fight Jollyson Francisco and won via unanimous decision.[10] He was then scheduled to face Antônio Carlos Júnior for a spot in the final against Vitor Miranda. He was defeated by submission (rear-naked choke).[11]
