Douglas Lima got it done the second time around.
After losing a unanimous decision to Rory MacDonald in their first encounter, the ‘Phenom’ recaptured the welterweight belt at Bellator 232, and won the division’s Grand Prix, with a unanimous decision following five hard-fought rounds in Uncasville, Connecticut. On Twitter, pro fighters and journalists reacted to the match.
Ready for my friend @PhenomLima to go out there and get that @BellatorMMA win and a huge payday! Let’s go champ! #Bellator232

Rory MacDonald vs. Douglas Lima 2 is next. This is a high-level bout between two fighters in ESPN’s welterweight top-10. MacDonald is defending his welterweight title here and it’s the finals of the Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix. And oh, by the way, $1M is on the line.

This fight is why I like the ring. The cage slows down dynamic fighters.
この戦いは、私がリングが好きな理由です。 ケージはダイナミックな戦闘機を遅くします#Bellator232— Jake Heun ジェイク・ヒューン (@JakeHeun) October 27, 2019

Not a ton of engagement in the Bellator World Welterweight Grand Prix, but when there was action it was Douglas Lima leading the dance. He beats Rory MacDonald by unanimous decision to regain the 170-pound belt and win $1 million.
