A slip by Kimball (14-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) proved to be all the opening de Lima (15-4-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) needed to end the fight early, notching a TKO victory at the 2:27 mark of Round 1. The catchweight bout (de Lima missed the light heavyweight limit) was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC on FOX 23 event at Pepsi Center in Denver. It aired on FS1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FOX.
