After suffering three consecutive losses in 2014, Lorenz Larkin dropped from the middleweight division to the 170-pound weight class. He fought as a welterweight for the second time on Saturday and showed that there’s a storm coming in the division.
“The Monsoon” picked Santiago Ponzinibbio apart with speed and variety on his way to a second-round technical knockout win in the UFC Fight Night 70 co-main event.
Ponzinibbio aggressively pursued Larkin, but the Californian moved laterally to avoid damage while regularly landing his jab. He mixed up his attack, chopping down the lead leg of Ponzinibbio.
