Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-06-24, disappointing fight between Douglas Lima and Lorenz Larkin: it gets two stars.The black belt in Bjj and current Bellator Ww champion Douglas Lima entered this fight with a mma record of 28-6-0 (86% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.15 welterweight in the world. He lost to Andrey Koreshkov in their first fight in 2015 (=Lima vs Koreshkov I) but then he beat Paul Daley (=Daley vs Lima) and took revenge on Koreshkov in 2016 (=Koreshkov vs Lima 2).
His opponent, Lorenz Larkin, has an official record of 18-5-0 (61% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he entered as the No.10 in the same weight class (currently the #1 in this division is Tyron Woodley). He fought three times last year losing to Albert Tumenov (=Larkin vs Tumenov) and winning over Jorge Masvidal (= Masvidal vs Larkin) and Neil Magny (=Magny vs Larkin). Douglas Lima vs Lorenz Larkin is valid for the Bellator welterweight title (Lima’s first defense); undercard of Chael Sonnen vs Wanderlei Silva – Bellator 180. Watch the video and rate this fight!
