We already knew that Lima and MacDonald would be fighting for the title, and now we have a date. The two made it to the finals of the welterweight grand prix, with Lima defeating Michael “Venom” Page and Andrey Koreshkov by stoppage. MacDonald, meanwhile, had a draw with Jon Fitch and advanced due to the champion’s clause, where he defeated Neiman Gracie in the next round to make it to the finals.

As for Mir and Nelson, the veteran heavyweights are both on a decline in their career. Mir is now 40 and he is on a four-fight losing skid that includes TKO losses to Fedor Emelianenko and Javy Ayala under the Bellator banner. As for Nelson, he is 43 and is on a three-fight losing skid himself. Nelson is just 1-3 overall since coming over to Bellator.

Are you excited for the Rory MacDonald vs. Douglas Lima rematch and/or the Roy Nelson vs. Frank Mir rematch?
