Another Bellator vs. UFC grappling match is headed to Abu Dhabi.
Douglas Lima faces Rinat Fakhretdinov in a catchweight grappling match on the main card of ADXC 2 on Jan. 19 at Mubadala Arena, promotion officials announced Monday.
Lima vs. Fakhretdinov joins Terrance McKinney vs. Sidney Outlaw and Aljamain Sterling vs. Chase Hooper among other matchups on the card.
Lima, a former Bellator welterweight champion, snapped a four-fight losing skid in his most recent outing when he defeated Costello Van Steenis by unanimous decision at Bellator 296 in May.
Unbeaten in his past 21 fights, Fakhretdinov is coming off a majority draw against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos at UFC Fight Night 231 in November. Prior to that, he submitted former interim title challenger Kevin Lee in just 55 seconds in July.
