While Brad Tavares has yet to be knocked out in 12 professional MMA fights, his UFC Fight Night 35 opponent Lorenz Larkin feels he could put an end to that run. “I feel confident in my striking and all the other parts of my game that I’ve been working on,” Larkin told MMAjunkie Radio. “I feel like Tavares has a good chin, but everybody has a button.” Larkin (14-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Tavares (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) are both known for their striking abilities, which is why fans salivated when the Jan. 15 matchup from Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga., was announced. The event airs live on FOX Sports 1 with preliminary card action expected to stream on the UFC’s soon-to-launch digital network. While Tavares’ experience in the octagon is far greater than that of Larkin, the former Strikeforce standout isn’t concerned by any of that.
