Lima has said that he is currently on a mission to put the Bellator belt back on his waist and that anyone on his way will be dismantled.

Final Betting Analysis: Douglas Lima vs. Michael “Venom” Page
Page will return to fight in his home city for the first time since 2019 when he looks to avenge the lone defeat of his professional career when he was knocked out by Lima in Round 2 of their Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix semifinal bout two years ago.
Lima knows exactly what he is facing, and as he said in the press conference, even after giving some praise on MVP’s string of wins, he expects that once that they both get back in the cage together, the result is going to be the same as the first time.
For this match, we have Michael “Venom” Page as our pick, as we believe that he will be able to pull the upset and make his way for a title fight right afterward.
