INGLEWOOD, Calif. – It’s only February, but don’t be surprised if Lorenz Larkin remains a candidate for Knockout of the Year by the end of 2023. And that has him feeling a certain way.
Larkin obliterated Mukhamed Berkhamov with a hellacious elbow to win by first-round knockout Saturday night at Bellator 290. The finish sent the crowd at Kia Forum into a frenzy given how violent it was, with Berkhamov’s limp body crashing to the canvas face first.
Afterward, Larkin spoke like a man still with a chip on his shoulder at 36.
