The undisputed Bellator welterweight champion, Douglas Lima, did not have a successful run in his first try to become a double champion in the promotion. In a five-round fight against Gegard Mousasi for the vacant middleweight belt, the ‘Phenom’ came up short and dropped a frustrating unanimous decision to the ‘Dreamcatcher’.
On his Instagram page, Lima wrote a lengthy post to his fans, regretting how he respected Mousasi too much during the fight and promises that he would do things differently if he had the chance. In fact, Lima guaranteed that his Bellator 250 outing will not be his last attempt of winning another division title.
