Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Lins made his professional MMA debut in August 2005. For the first eight years of his career he fought exclusively in his native Brazil although he did take an extended break from MMA competition from 2006-2011.[1] He remained undefeated during his time in Brazil, earning a record of seven wins and no losses.

Before signing with Bellator, Lins was ranked by MMA news site Bloody Elbow as the second best Light Heavyweight prospect in 2012.[1]

Bellator MMA

Lins made his North American and Bellator MMA debut in April 2014 at Bellator 116. He faced Travis Clark and won via rear-naked choke submission in the first round.[2]

In the summer of 2014, Lins was announced as a participant in the Bellator Light Heavyweight Tournament. He faced Austin Heidlage in the opening quarterfinals at Bellator 121 and won via submission in the first round. He faced Kelly Anundson in the semifinals and lost due to a knee injury.
