Is Douglas Lima vs Jason Jackson on TV? Bellator 283 date, UK time, TV channel and live stream

Douglas Lima and Jason Jackson are set to feature in this weekend’s Bellator 283 after a change in headliners.

Patricky Pitbull and Sidney Outlaw were orginally set to headline in a lightweight championship fight but Lima and Jackson have since been promoted due to injury.

The Brazilian has beaten records during his career in UFC and is competing in his 19th Bellator welterweight bout - tied for the most appearances in divisional history.

However, Lima’s three consecutive defeats is the longest of his career and he will be eager to pick up his first victory since October 2019.

Each of the 34-year-old’s previous three defeats have come via decision and he hasn’t lost via TKO/KO since February 2007.

Meanwhile, Jackson is enjoying much more impressive form after five successive wins stretching back to December 2019.

His last victory came in June 2021 when he beat Paul Daley by unanimous decision.

Ahead of this weekend’s event, we take a look at all the important details:
