It got buried by the other fights didn't even see one thread on it the day after. But Holy crap that was a beat down of a legit contender....I saw it on mute and was kinda distracted but every time I looked up Neil was getting lit up.

It was like Neil didn't even belong in the octagon with him. Anyone know about injuries or death in the family? Neil is always pretty solid. Or was Larkin just stepping up his game.

Anyone have any gifs.
 
Magny was a little overated
Larkin was a little underated.


Hope larkin will be back soon, fun to watch.


Vs Matt brown next could be FOTY
 
Bad style matchup for Magny, combined with Larkin being severely underrated.

I guess its safe to assume now that Larkin is WW goat after Jake Shields
 
Larkin can be hot and cold too. Sometimes he looks like the future champ, and other times he looks like a gatekeeper.
 
It seemed like a matchup they made to get Larkin back into the top 10. He was a very bad matchup for Magny. Larkin was a bit underrated as well.
 
Larkin is one of my favorites. I enjoy watching him fight, hopefully UFC ties him up to a good contract so he can continue to climb the rankings for that shot.
 
Its weird that Magny is still ranked higher than Larkin.
Meanwhile Tumenov who beat Larkin is ranked 15 and Gastelum who lost to Magny is ranked 5. those fights were recently too. man UFC rankings are a mess...
 
That was the best I've seen him. He's kind of like Hall where he has the talent but doesn't always use it enough so I was glad to see him be so aggressive.
 
Magny shouldn't have been standing with him. You learn from Maia and yet you learned nothing.

Magny should fight Hendricks next
Larkin should fight Ellenberger
 
I'd followed him since Strikeforce and always thought that he was legit. I never underrated him, he's legit, I mean, he had already defeated Lawler, it's just that he has some kinda low profile.
 
Larkin can win the belt with the right matchups
 
I started watching Lorenz when he was a LHW. That dude looked better than ever.
 
"ECHO...ECho...Echo...echo..."


Also, Larkin is severely underrated; started watching him from the day he was born.
 
Larkin is in the same class as guys like Uriah Hall the speed the power the ability its all there he's just not the most consistent

on a really good day he can be the WW champ
 
Glad to see LL focused and in beast mode. When that dude is on...ITS on.

I just remember Costa Philippou Knocking Larkin out into another dimension.
