By The Numbers: Lorenz Larkin vs. Levan Chokheli


Lorenz Larkin rarely disappoints on the bang-for-buck scale.

“The Monsoon” will step back into the familiar haunts of the Bellator MMA organization when he locks horns with Levan Chokheli in the Bellator Champions Series 4 welterweight co-main event on Saturday at Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Larkin has won two of his past three bouts. The Millennia MMA rep last competed at on June 28, when he cut down Alan Dominguez with a first-round knee strike and follow-up punches in his Professional Fighters League debut. Chokheli, meanwhile, enters the cage on a three-fight winning streak. The Kaizen MMA product last fought at Bellator 299, where he wiped out Sabah Homasi with a front kick in the first round of their Sept. 23 pairing.
