I remember betting Babalu in that fight and having no fucking idea how Babalu was actually winning the fight without any grappling. This is Larkin's first cut to 185 lbs. His obvious weakness is his takedown defense and grappling. He is a good and flashy striker, but I feel it is somewhat overrated. I am going to watch the Rossborough fight again tomorrow and see if I see anything wrong with Larkin such as conditioning. I think Lawler has the potential to either: take down Larkin and try and control him from the top (but when the hell does he do that? he got into a slugfest with Manhoef) or just get into a brawl with Larkin and land a huge shot.
This is a hard fight to cap. I actually think every main fight card is hard to cap. Money is starting to come in on Marquardt, so I will be betting Woodley small if his line keeps getting better. Would love to get him at around +130
