3. Albert Tumenov Vs. Lorenz Larkin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj3ly3a3Lc0 Weight Class: Welterweight Lorenz Larkin (16-4, 1NC) had a rough start to his UFC career. After a decent run in Strikeforce, where he picked up a win over current UFC welterweight champ Robbie Lawler, and lost to King Mo only to see Mo popped for a drug test failure, the promotion was acquired by the UFC, and Larkin went 1-1 initially then hit a three-fight losing streak that could have easily cost him his spot on the roster. However, he lived to fight another day, and in 2015 righted course with wins over John Howard and Santiago Ponzinibbio. At UFC 195, he draws Albert Tumenov - a Russian hand-to-hand combat champ currently on a four-fight win streak in the UFC. Tumenov (16-2) will be a solid opponent for Larkin, but look for him to come out on top, as even when losing he has faced much tougher competition. Larkin by decision.
