After going back and forth, the fight ended in the second round with Lima earning a shot at current Bellator welterweight champion, Ben Askren.

"I knew it was there. We worked on that a lot last week; duck the left hook, come back with the right straight. It worked out great," Lima said. "I'm glad I got the win. It was hard but it paid off. Hats off to Ben. He's the greatest guy. He's a great fighter."

Saunders, who is also a frequent BE reader and member, talked about the fight on his twitter page:

"Well like I said before. I felt like I was fighting my shadow. Losing to a very tough and skilled opponent in Douglas Lima doesn't feel like a real loss," Saunders said shortly after the bout. "He is my brother and teammate at American Top Team and it was an honor to go to battle with him. I said we were gonna go to war, and may the best man win. He was the better man tonight, & I have no regrets"

"I have said it since day one. Win, Lose, or Draw I come to fight! I am an aggressive fighter and I come to scrap. If I get caught trying to finish the fight then so be it. If I'm gonna lose that's how I wanna go out."
