Over the weekend, Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima and former UFC title challenger Rory MacDonald faced off for the first time<\/a> ahead of their Bellator title fight. The welterweight title fight is set to take place on January 20 at The Forum in California.<\/p>\n

Lima was dressed in a suit while MacDonald opted for a more casual look wearing a black turtleneck, which the late Apple CEO, Steve Jobs was usually seen wearing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lima recently spoke with MMA Junkie<\/a> about their staredown and fashion sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I had the better looks,\u201d Lima said humorously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was going to sell me an iPad,\u201d Lima said of what was going through his mind when he stood face-to-face with MacDonald at the Bellator 183 event.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, nobody broke us apart,\u201d Lima added about the staredown that felt a bit awkward. \u201cSo we just stood there. I didn\u2019t want to be the guy who looked away first, but it didn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s fun. It\u2019s real. It\u2019s a good feeling to get that first staredown.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Rory<\/a><\/p>\n

Immediately after their fight was announced by Bellator, Lima and MacDonald took to Twitter to throw a few shots<\/a> at one another to get their rivalry going. The talk didn’t stop when they were standing face-to-face as MacDonald stated that Lima “is in for a hurting” and that he is “a level above these guys,” after defeating Paul Daley with a rear-naked choke in the second round of his Bellator debut. Lima replied that Bellator can continue to bring his challengers over and will continue to take them out.<\/p>\n
