Former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima respects interim champion Logan Storley but feels CEO Scott Coker’s criticism of him was warranted. Storley most recently defeated Lima’s two-time foe, Michael “Venom” Page, in the main event of Bellator 281 earlier this year. Despite walking away with a decision win, Storley’s wrestling and often-cautious approach to striking…

Douglas Lima wasn’t too happy with the split decision loss he had last night at Bellator 267 to Michael Page.
In what was an entertaining second fight between Lima and ‘MVP’, fans left with more questions than answers after the dust settled. The fight could have gone either way and it seems as if Lima felt he was robbed a bit. Lima landed a number of takedowns on Page and thought that was enough to secure a victory over him. Although Page did connect nicely on three occasions times to score knockdowns.
In an Instagram post, Lima said “Ehhh not too sure about this decision, I thought I won 1 and 3, need to rewatch! But thank you god for bringing me here again! I’m blessed Had a blast here in London and can’t wait to come back! Thank you my team, family, and all of you that’s always supporting! God bless you all and see you soon.” Even in defeat, Lima is as humble as always.
Page has also called for a third fight between the two instead of a title fight. MVP wants the trilogy fight to be a five-round fight instead of a three-round fight like it was at Bellator 267. This is Lima’s third fight he has lost in a row. He lost a middleweight title fight to Gegard Mousasi and lost his welterweight title to Yaraslov Amosov back in June of 2021.
In his first fight with Page, ‘The Phenom’ hit him with a huge KO which was ‘MVP’s only loss inside the octagon.
Since his loss to Lima, Page has put together a five-fight win streak now and has improved his record to 20-1 after his victory last night.

Michael ‘Venom’ Page (MVP) called for a third fight with Douglas Lima immediately after beating the Brazilian to avenge the lone loss of his MMA career at Bellator 267 on Friday night.
MVP defeated Lima in a close split decision, but it could’ve easily have gone the other way. The Englishman is now intent on booking a third fight with Lima over five rounds to prove he is the better man.
“In all honesty, I’ll probably push to run this one back again,” Page told reporters at including LowKickMMA at the Bellator post-fight press conference. “Let’s do five rounds, why not? Let’s go longer.
“If by the end of the third round that had happened again, I got two more rounds to find you and finish you properly. I’ve gone from one end to the other and hopefully, I find that balanced middle and finish him.”
MVP appeared to established himself as the welterweight number one contender last night but seems uninterested in chasing Bellator gold at the time.
“It’s a belt, who cares?” Page said. “How many people that are titleholders are nowhere near as popular as I am? The belt don’t mean anything. It does obviously, but for me, it doesn’t. That moment right there (the decision win over Lima), there’s so many Bellator belt holders that can’t pull off what I did today.
“I feel like people are drawn to me because of my enjoyment of the sport, not because I’m chasing anything. It’s about my journey and pushing myself. I didn’t get to prove that today. I won but I didn’t make his eyes roll to the back of his head and not get back up. I know I can do it, so I prefer to run it back.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Bellator welterweight Michael Page is so determined to KO Douglas Lima that he’s willing to shun a title shot for a third fight with the Brazilian.
Page avenged his 2019 loss to Lima by earning a victory in their headline bout at Bellator 267 on Friday. In their previous meeting, “MVP” was spectacularly knocked out by Lima, and this time around, he was looking to return the favor. All Page managed, however, was a controversial split-decision win. Two judges scored it 29-28 for Page, while the third had it 29-28 for Lima.
The victory places Page as the likely next challenger for champ Yaroslav Amosov and extends his win streak to six fights. Lima is now on a three-fight losing streak after being dethroned as champ in July by Amosov, and prior to that in 2020, losing his middleweight debut to Gegard Mousasi.
Despite earning redemption for his loss to Lima—the only of his career— Page told press post-fight that he wasn’t satisfied with the narrow victory. The 34-year-old said that his chief ambition now is to get another crack at the Brazilian.
“In all honesty, I’ll probably push to run this one back again,” Page told media at the Bellator post-fight press conference (h/t MMA JUNKIE) “Let’s do five rounds, why not? Let’s go longer.”
“If by the end of the third round that had happened again, I got two more rounds to find you and finish you properly. I’ve gone from one end to the other and hopefully, I find that balanced middle and finish him.”
For Page, it seems settling a score takes precedence over all else, including becoming welterweight champ. The Englishman said that finishing Lima means a lot more to him than winning the belt.
“It’s a belt, who cares?” said Page. “How many people that are titleholders are nowhere near as popular as I am? The belt don’t mean anything. It does obviously, but for me, it doesn’t. That moment right there (the decision win over Lima), there’s so many Bellator belt holders that can’t pull off what I did today.”
“I feel like people are drawn to me because of my enjoyment of the sport, not because I’m chasing anything. It’s about my journey and pushing myself. I didn’t get to prove that today. I won but I didn’t make his eyes roll to the back of his head and not get back up. I know I can do it, so I prefer to run it back.”
What do you think? Should Michael Page focus on the title, rather than Douglas Lima?
