LONDON – They say no two fights are the same, but that won’t stop Douglas Lima from chasing the same finish that gave him victory over Michael Page in their first matchup. Lima (32-9 MMA, 14-5 BMMA) handed Page (19-1 MMA, 15-1 BMMA) his only career loss via spectacular knockout at Bellator 221 in May 2019 and, after suffering back-to-back defeats in his last two outings, he sees a repeat performance as the perfect way to bounce back into form as he chases a title rematch with the man who took his belt at Bellator 260, undefeated Ukrainian Yaroslav Amosov. “It’s a different fight, but I always feel better when I’ve fought someone before,” he told MMA Junkie during a London bus tour of the English capital on Monday. “You know a lot more about him, what he’s good at, what he’s not so good at.
