Bellator 250 results: Gegard Mousasi a two-time middleweight champion with tactical win over Douglas Lima

Gegard Mousasi is again the Bellator middleweight champion after a solid, if unspectacular, win over welterweight champion Douglas Lima.

Mousasi took home scorecards of 48-48 and 49-46 twice for a patient attack that saw him pressure Lima early and take the fight to the ground at key moments. The multi-promotion champ reclaimed the title he lost to Rafael Lovato Jr., who vacated the title in February after being diagnosed with a rare brain disorder.

From the outset, Mousasi kept Lima on his heels and used a well-rounded attack to rack up points.
