Douglas Lima will be entering the cage for the 11ї раз під прапором Bellator MMA, having already won eight of his 10 bouts with the Viacom-owned organization. The former Bellator MMA welterweight titlist saw his impressive five-fight winning streak come to an end in July of 2015, when current champion Андрій Корінців edged out a unanimous decision victory over Lima to win the title. До поразки, “The Phenom’s” hot streak consisted of five consecutive knockouts, four of which came in the first two rounds. Lima will now begin the climb back up the ladder, with the ultimate goal being to regain the strap by year’s end.
