$100,000 Welterweight Tournament Finals Delayed As Douglas Lima Suffers Broken Hand
Newport Beach, CA. (March 5, 2013) – After a knockout filled Bellator Tournament run,
Welterweight Finalists Douglas Lima and Ben Saunders will have to wait for
their long awaited rematch as Douglas Lima has suffered a broken hand.
Originally scheduled on March 21st from Maine’s Androscoggin Bank
Colisee, the Welterweight Tournament Finals will now take place this summer.
“I’m really disappointed, but I know this is the right
decision and I just need to heal up and get my $100,000 prize,” Lima said. “Ben
is a great guy, but he’s been in my way before, and I want my rematch with
Askren.”
Lima had an impressive road to the finals, with knockout victories over
Bryan Baker and Michail Tsarev on his way to a rematch with fellow finalist Ben
“Killa B” Saunders. The two originally met in the Bellator Season 5
Welterweight Finals, with Lima collecting a second round knockout victory.
“Douglas and Ben are two of the most exciting and explosive
welterweights in the game today, and while it’s disappointing to have to
delay this fight, injuries are a part of our game and I have no doubt it will
be absolute fireworks this summer when these two meet,” said Bellator Chairman
& CEO Bjorn Rebney.
