Mike Kimbel is just two fights into his professional career and already he’s etched his name into the Bellator history books.
A 21-year-old bantamweight prospect fighting out of Connecticut, Kimbel tied the all-time record for the fastest knockout in Bellator history on Friday with a scintillating six-second KO of Alex Potts at Bellator 207.
Kimbel (2-0) flattened his unlucky foe in the opening seconds of the fight with a one-two combo that dropped Potts (1-1). Kimbel’s mark of six seconds tied a Bellator record that has stood since former middleweight champion Hector Lombard knocked out Jay Silva in just six seconds at Bellator 18 in 2010.
