Neil Magny admits he overlooked Lorenz Larkin

[KazDibiase]

“At the end of the day, it’s the fight business. You should never overlook an opponent or look past an opponent. I feel like I went in there as if I had the fight in the bag before it even happened yet. So, I guess going forward, I need to focus on what’s ahead of me at the time, and not look too far ahead in the future, thus the result of it.”

They did a good job looking at our past film and finding openings. The oblique kick was something that worked well for him, as well as the low kicks. He put me in a position where it forced me to take a desperate shot, which left me vulnerable to his elbows as well. He just did a good job of mixing up the techniques and taking advantage of the openings.”

Big mistake.

Lorenz hits hard.

 

[Alanf7]

So glad he got finished.

I really like Magny, such a talented fighter with a real gritty style. I have to be honest I couldn't see Larkin beating him on short notice. Oh how wrong I was. Larkin looked like a beast. Magny shouldn't take this loss to heart, Larkin would have run through most of the division fighting like that. Those teep/front kicks.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I was definitely shocked at what a one-sided beatdown that was.

Larkin just completely ran him over.

 

[Squall Leonhart]

So glad he got finished.

Lombard already TKO'd him twice in the first round of their fight.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Larkin whooped that ass. Bully-style beatdown.

 

[iloveufc123]

I wasn't surprised at all, I called that shit. Lorenz is so underrated.

 

[Phisher]

Magny will bounce back. He'll never be elite, but he's good enough to be a fringe top ten guy for a long time to come.

He's come a long way from getting embarrassed by the likes of Mike Ricci on TUF.

 

[Threetrees]

In the words of the great orator Quinton Jackson
"You can make a mistake and get caught in a submission, but Neil made a mistake and he got caught in an ass whoopin'."

 

[Dart Feld]

It really looked like Larkin was kicking through Magny's soul.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Over looked?. so why did you say pre fight that you are so excited to be on UFC 202 because its a big card and you want to impress and keep climbing. You got out classed and whooped to be honest, thats it.

 

[Ruv]

I was not suprises at all Lorenz and Masvidal had one of the WW fights ever just a few months ago. Lorenz has found a new level viciousness.

 

[Haj01]

I knew Larkin would whoop that ass. Striking = superior

 

[Dutchman101]

Big mistake, but he will learn from this. Enough chances will come.

 

[RDUBYA]

Magny after a few leg kicks

 

[TrainInVain]

I like both fughters but I picked Magny by decision. I thought his reach would allow him to edge out Larkin. Magny will bounce back.

Congrats to Larkin. That win should catapult him up the rankings.

 

[Toco]

now that's some fucking excuse

I was rooting for Magny and thought he would win, but I am disappointed to hear that he was actually looking past Larkin, whom I knew was a formidable opponent. I didn't expect Larkin to beast through Magny the way that he did, and I also didn't expect Magny to be without an answer for it.

Lesson learned ...

Dude if you're overlooking a guy like Lorenz, you really are a dummy.
