Larkin (10-0) displayed vicious kicks and strong strikes against the K1 veteran Scott Lighty (6-1) to win the fight by second round TKO stoppage.
This past Saturday night, Strikeforce Challengers 15 played host to a night full of highlight reel finishes, among them was Lorenz Larkin’s impressive dominance of Scott Lighty. Larkin (10-0) continued his unbeaten streak with a second round TKO win over Lighty.
Sometimes the smaller cards are better than the star-studded pay per view cards with headlining title fights. Sometimes those younger, hungry fighters looking to get their name out there on those smaller cards put on performances that make them a star.
Tonight the first Strikeforce, post ZUFFA purchase event took place in Stockton, California at the Stockton Arena with Strikeforce Challengers: Wilcox vs. Damm. The 15th installment of the series features some of the top Mixed Martial Arts talent the state of California has to offer from two of the best MMA gyms around.
Ok, it’s officially Strikeforce Challengers 15, but it’s also Zuffa’s first Strikeforce event which is exciting. There are some tremendous fights on this card, so make sure to tune into Showtime and check them out. While the card might not be filled with name fighters, it is filled with talent and could be a very fun card. Strikeforce Challengers 15 takes place tonight on Showtime live from picturesque Stockton, CA.
