Lorenz Larkin steps in on short notice to face Neil Magny at UFC 202

Dong Hyun Kim may have gotten hurt ahead of his fight against Neil Magny at UFC 202, but that doesn't mean Magny will be scrapped from the card. Stepping in on short notice, Lorenz Larkin has agreed to take on Magny on August 20, as MMA Fighting reported.

In his first chance to face a top 10 opponent, Larkin (17-5, 1 NC) comes into the bout looking to make it two in a row after his split decision win over Jorge Masvidal in May. "The Monsoon" appears to have found a home in the welterweight division, where he’s picked up three wins and just one loss to fellow prospect, Albert Tumenov.
