It worked for Mike Kimbel once, so he had to think it would work a second time at Bellator 215. But this time, a year to the weekend from when it paid off in his pro MMA debut, Kimbel (2-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) couldn’t shake loose a triangle choke against John Douma (4-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA). Despite slamming Douma on his head and neck, Douma kept the choke on and Kimbel had to tap . Check out the video of the finish below. @JohnDouma145 is your winner at #Bellator215 via triangle!
