Rory MacDonald and Douglas Lima showed off their battle wounds following a grueling title fight in the Bellator 192 co-main event. MacDonald (20-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) claimed the Bellator welterweight title from Lima (29-7 MMA, 11-3 BMMA) in Saturday’s Bellator 192 event, winning a hard-fought unanimous decision in the Paramount-televised event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Both men sustained plenty of damage over the course of the 25-minute affair (and MacDonald’s leg took the worst of it ). Afterward, Lima posted a backstage photo with the new champion, expressing his disappointment with the outcome with a classy statement (via Instagram ): Pissed at myself but thankful to God for another battle. @romac_gorilla you’re a warrior thank you! Can’t wait for the rematch! Thank you all for supporting! Thank you my team for an awesome camp! I will be back! This is truly a dream come true, I set out on this martial arts journey when I was 14yrs old and without any doubt I know I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the grace of Jesus Christ
