TAMPA, FL, April 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) Tampa's BlueGrace Logistics continues its involvement in sponsoring Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters with the ongoing support of world-class MMA fighter Douglas "The Phenom" Lima for his upcoming bout against the undefeated Bellator World Welterweight Champion Ben Askren, live from Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on Friday, April 6.

Lima is a Brazilian-born professional mixed martial artist and a former MFC Welterweight World Champion. On October 8, 2011, "The Phenom" fought Ben Saunders at Bellator 53 and won via KO.

Becoming a Bellator World Champion is Lima's ultimate goal, and he has his eyes on the prize.

"This matchup is sure to be an exciting one, with two talented fighters going head to head for the chance to become the Bellator World Welterweight Champion. We are excited for the opportunity to welcome Lima to the BlueGrace family."
