May 5, 2016 | Posted by Joseph Lee

MMA Junkie reports that Titan FC has signed welterweight Dhiego Lima (10-4). Lima was the runner-up for The Ultimate Fighter 19. He will make his debut at Titan FC 39 on June 10 from the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Florida. Lima’s fight will stream on UFC Fight Pass.

Titan FC CEO Jeff Aronson said: “As we have proven before, Titan FC is ready, willing and able to jump on an opportunity at any time. Just hours after Titan FC 38, we began negotiations with Dhiego Lima. He’s a great addition to our growing welterweight division, and we’re excited to watch him compete on June 10, live on UFC Fight Pass.

Lima added: “This is a great opportunity to begin accomplishing my goal, which is to get back to the UFC. Titan FC welterweight champion (Belal Muhammad) is great, but I feel as though my style matches up really well with his. Beginning June 10, I’m gunning for that belt.

Here’s the current card:

Gesias Cavalcante vs. Pat Healy – for vacant lightweight title
Dhiego Lima vs. TBA
