Before Bellator MMA's debut in the UK, things didn't go according to plan. Paul Daley's long-planned rematch with Josh Koscheck was scrapped, scheduled headliner Kimbo Slice suddenly passed away and other injuries wrecked the card. Yet, by fight night at the O2 Arena in London, England, all of the favorites ended up winning.
In the main event, former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima returned to action a year after losing his title to Andrey Koreshkov where he faced striking ace Paul Daley. The Brit in 'Semtex' didn't live up to his name, at least initially, as Lima dropped him, sending him to the canvas at the very beginning of the first round.
