Bellator 232: “MacDonald vs. Lima 2” goes down tomorrow (Sat., Oct. 26, 2019) at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., streaming online exclusively via DAZN. The main event rematch will see Rory MacDonald (21-5-1) vs. Douglas Lima (31-7) in the finals of the Welterweight Grand Prix.

Originally Vitaly Minakov (22-1) and Javy Ayala (11-7) were set to have a Heavyweight scrap on the main card of Bellator 232 as well, but MMA Fighting reports that visa issues have prevented Minakov from coming to the United States for the fight. Because of the late notice, no replacement opponent is available for Ayala and the fight has been scrapped.

The card is in flux as another main card bout was canceled because of a major swing and a miss at making the Featherweight limit for the bout. MMAmania.com will keep you informed as events continue to unfold. The latest fight card details can be found here.
