Bellator action resumes this weekend with back-to-back events at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
Bellator 231 takes place Friday with a main card on Paramount headlined by a heavyweight rematch between former UFC champion Frank Mir (18-12 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) and divisional mainstay Roy Nelson (23-17 MMA, 1-3 BMMA).
That will serve as the lead into Saturday’s Bellator 232 card, which streams on DAZN and will see the conclusion of the welterweight grand prix. In the tournament final matchup Rory MacDonald (21-5-1 MMA, 3-1-1 BMMA) and Douglas Lima (31-7 MMA, 13-3 BMMA) will clash again after a memorable bout less than two years ago.
