Bellator MMA is in the state of Washington for the first time in the promotion’s history.
At the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Bellator 283 sees former welterweight champion Douglas Lima take on rising contender Jason Jackson. Lima did miss weight for this so it’s a catchweight. We were supposed to have Patricky ‘Pitbull’ Freire defending his title against Sidney Outlaw in the original main event, but Pitbull is out with injury and instead Outlaw has a really tough fight against the debuting former RIZIN standout Tofiq Musayev, who holds a win over Patricky.
