Jorge Masvidal Vs. Lorenz Larkin has all the makings of a legendary fight. Masvidal himself has spoken about how he is looking forward to the fight and said that the fight would surely be a “good scrap”.
Masvidal had a disappointing year in 2015 where he dropped two bouts out of a total three and now seems more determined than ever to get back to winning ways. 2014 was the year when we saw glimpses of his true raw potential and what he could do in the octagon when he went on a three fight winning streak.
In 2015, however, his losses were not convincing and he only lost by close calls so it is safe to say that he has not really been beaten beaten. He lost to the reputable Al Laquinta and Benson Henderson and both decisions were rather controversial.
Masvidal, despite these losses, still has a respectable record of 29 wins and 10 losses in the MMA and 6 wins and three losses in the UFC.
Facing Masvidal come fight night 88 will be Lorenz Larkin who has a record of 16 wins and 5 losses in the MMA and 3 wins and 5 losses in the UFC. Masvidal said to media personnel that he is excited for the fight and Larkin is exactly the kind of fighter he wants to face at this stage in his career. Masvidal said that Larkin will not be joking around and will really bring the fight to Masvidal and Masvidal welcomes the challenge.
UFC fight night 88 will happen on the 29th of May. The Venue will be Mandalay Bay events center in Las Vegas. The fight night and its cards will all be telecasted on FOX sports 1 following the broadcast of early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
From a betting perspective, we really are not too certain of how this fight will go. However, if you have to put your money on someone, we would suggest Masvidal, but not by too much.
