Even as one of Bellator MMA’s most celebrated and acclaimed fighters, Douglas Lima has a desire to do more.
The three-time welterweight champion will return to the stage for the first time in more than a year when he confronts Aaron Jeffery a three-round Bellator Champions Series 4 showcase on Saturday at Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Lima, 38, steps back into the spotlight having lost four of his past five bouts. He last appeared at Bellator 296, where he outpointed Costello van Steenis to a unanimous decision in their May 12, 2023 encounter.
