Lorenz Larkin’s journey just to fight at Bellator 207 on Oct. 12 has been a headache, to say the least. After receiving a second replacement opponent in less then a month, the fighter is understandably frustrated.
“I’m always getting the sh*tty end of the stick,” Larkin told Sherdog.com. In August, when the brackets and pairings for Bellator MMA’s welterweight grand prix were made public, it was also announced that Larkin would face undefeated European prospect Yaroslav Amosov in a bout to decide an alternate for the tournament. After taking a deeper look at Amosov’s 20-0 resume, however, Larkin had his worries about the fight ever happening.
