UNCASVILLE, Conn. – It was deja vu for Mike Kimbel on Friday night – but this time, John Douma had other plans. In a scenario that played out very similarly to Kimbel’s pro debut a year ago this weekend, he found himself fending off a triangle choke from Douma. To defend, he tried to slam his way out of it – but unlike in his pro debut, Douma (4-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) didn’t let off – and Kimbel (2-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) had to tap. Kimbel was more than a 4-1 favorite in the fight and was fighting in front of his home fans in Connecticut. The bantamweight bout was part of the main card of Friday’s Bellator 215 event at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
