Former three-time champion
Douglas Lima returned to the cage for the first time since losing his title to
Yaroslav Amosov, when he faced
Michael "Venom" Page in a rematch at
SSE Arena in
London. The main card of the event, titled "Bellator London: Lima vs. MVP 2," aired live at 4 p.m. ET on Showtime. Page returned to fight in his home city for the first time since 2019, looking to avenge the lone defeat of his professional career when he was knocked out by Lima in the second round of their
Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix semifinal bout two years ago at
Bellator 221. A lightweight bout between Charlie Leary and Gavin Hughes was scheduled for this event; however Hughes pulled out due to a ruptured bicep and was replaced by Benjamin Brander. At weigh ins, the bout was scrapped for COVID protocol issues. == Results ==
