Larkin gets welterweight title shot, Chandler defends 155-pound belt at Bellator PPV

Unlike Rory MacDonald, Lorenz Larkin will be fighting for a title in his first Bellator fight. The recent free agent signing will make his promotional debut at Bellator 180, which will air on pay-per-view on June 24th. Lance Pugmire of the LA Times has the scoop:

Larkin (18-5, 1 NC) became a free agent after amassing a 5-5 record in 10 UFC fights. His last two were big wins though, over ranked fighters Jorge Masvidal and Neil Magny. The UFC offered him a new contract, but he took the better deal from Bellator.
