Bellator 215 results: John Douma stuns Mike Kimbel with first-round triangle choke

BAD MMA News — Sat, 16 Feb 2019 03:52:06 +0000

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.

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!
