James Thompson is hurtling towards a Kimbo Slice sequel, and he's bringing his demons with him

Please excuse James Thompson if he is sensing the creeping touch of déjà vu lately, but this is all starting to feel a little too familiar. Of course there is the obvious, the rematch of giants between he and part-time brick wall Bobby Lashley. That booking took three tries to stay intact, and even now, a few days before Bellator 145, Thompson can't help but admit the small part of him waiting for the other shoe to drop — for Lashley to become the next casualty of the sauna, or that pesky injury bug to lob a last-minute muscle tear into the minutia of fight week.
