UFC veteran Erick Silva believes his Bellator debut will be a good stylistic matchup for him. In preparation for a bout against fellow ex-UFC fighter Lorenz Larkin at Bellator 207 next month, the Brazilian told Globo Esporte that the fight will be good for him because he enjoys fighting orthodox opponents.
“We know the company (Bellator) has some big names and Lorenz Larkin is one of them,” he said, “so my Bellator debut can already be an amazing fight. This next fight is a really good match-up for me. In my last five fights, I had to deal with southpaw opponents, at least now I’m fighting an orthodox one.
