Inactivity may have shifted Lorenz Larkin to the back burner, but his track record makes him more than just another cog in the Bellator MMA wheel.
“The Monsoon” will return to the stage for the first time in nearly a year when he toes the line against Kyle Stewart in a Bellator 280 middleweight feature on Friday at Accor Arena in Paris. Larkin, now 35 years of age, enters the cage on the strength of a five-fight winning streak. He last competed at Bellator 258, where he was awarded a split decision over former middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho in their contentious May 7 confrontation.
