#2. Daley vs. Former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima 2
Trending
If Douglas Lima picks up a few impressive wins, perhaps Paul Daley would be interested in a rematch. The former Bellator welterweight champion hasn’t had the best of luck as of late.
Lima is currently on a three-fight losing skid during which he has lost every fight via decision. He is rumored to fight No.4 ranked Jason Jackson on July 8, which has yet to be made official. Their originally scheduled bout at Bellator 281 fell through, so it looks like the promotion is rescheduling it for the summer.

An opportunity to avenge a loss could be appealing to ‘Semtex.’ He fought ‘The Phenom’ at Bellator 158 in London, England. The fight didn’t go how he hoped as Lima picked up a decisive unanimous decision win. ‘Semtex’ complimented ‘The Phenom’ as being a great fighter and that he’d eventually like a rematch.
#1. Daley vs. Former Bellator title challenger Michael ‘Venom’ Page 2
Paul Daley and Michael ‘Venom’ Page had quite the rivalry with each other. After Page came up short against Logan Storley for the interim Bellator welterweight championship, perhaps the promotion could revisit the rivalry.
MVP and ‘Semtex’ fought in the opening round of the welterweight Grand Prix in 2019. It was a highly anticipated bout that unfortunately didn’t deliver what fans had hoped for. ‘Venom’ uncharacteristically shot for takedowns and controlled ‘Semtex’ on the ground. It was effective as he earned a unanimous decision and advanced to the semi-final.
One positive for Bellator is that MVP’s stock didn’t go down after his loss to Storley. Many believed he won the fight, so it’s different than if he was outclassed in all areas of the fight. With that in mind, Bellator should attempt to book a rematch between ‘Semtex’ and Page if he agrees to compete again. London would be the perfect location, which was a missed opportunity when they fought at Bellator 216.
