Lorenz Larkin is at the top of his game 15 years into his MMA career, as he demonstrated at Bellator Champions Series: San Diego on Saturday.
Larkin and Levan Chokheli clashed in a No. 1 welterweight contender fight in front of a raucous crowd in San Diego. The matchup preceded the highly-anticipated lightweight title matchup between Usman Nurmagomedov and Alexandr Shabliy.
Larkin wasted no time in proving he deserves to fight for the Bellator welterweight championship. Just under two minutes into the fight, Larkin swarmed Chokheli with his boxing, dropping his opponent and finishing with ground-and-pound.
